Skywave House by Coscia Day shows that isn’t exactly true.
The 2,250 square feet house and is set on a 40 ft wide suburban
lot in Venice, California. It’s main distinctive feature is a sculptural
roof that reminds a breaking wave, which is suspended in time
and space and floats over a 1st floor garden space surrounded
by glass. The house also took its inspiration from Chinese
philosophy of Yin and Yang – its color theme is black and white.
Besides, the house is designed with many green features, including
white standing seam roof/wall for solar gain diffusion, motorized
with wind and rain sensors, west facing windows and scoop skylights
to catch ocean breezes & a large east facing skylight over the 29 ft
entry to vent rising hot air. The ground floor and raised ground
floor are solar water radiant heated.
