The house on Seadrift Lagoon in California takes on a pair of related metaphors: It is a boat, adrift on an ocean; it is also a shell, protecting inhabitants from the cold-beach climate. The use of redwood siding has been elaborated like a ship－the deck prow and the sail-shaped window in the living room reinforce the sense of connection to a sea voyage.
The Seadrift Lagoon house is a single-story house with a kitchen, baths, paired bedrooms, living, and dining space. The house exercises minimalism. That is, the house creates the image of extreme simplicity by combining the visual and functional purposes together. For instance, the windows imitate cabin windows and also offer glimpses of nearby mountains and water. (both visually and functionally)
