Minimalist Design and Dynamic Concrete Facades | Phoenix House 

#housedesign #concretehouse #minimalisthome #minimalisthouse
Phoenix House, located in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California, is an architectural masterpiece designed by Sebastian Mariscal. This home stands out for its use of richly textured concrete, thoughtful design, and energy efficiency. The homeowners, who lost their previous house to wildfires, sought a minimalist and warm residence that complements their contemporary art collection. Mariscal designed the house with inverted floor plans to capture ocean views, connecting distinct volumes through stairways and bridges, and creating open spaces like decks and patios. The concrete structure not only provides aesthetic appeal but also functional benefits, regulating temperature without air conditioning and incorporating geothermal heating and solar panels. The facade reflects the changing weather, creating dynamic visual effects, while the meticulous concrete detailing adds unique texture. Phoenix House is a harmonious blend of beauty, functionality, and introspection.
