The main building sinks then elevates in full view of ocean. Patio granite and dark gray cedar soffit flows into the dining room, removing “any awareness of threshold when the glass doors are slid open,“ says Robins. “Each surface and its relationship to others is considered.”
This enormous prefab by Tony Robins of Vancouver-based AA Robins Architect sprung from the architect’s own prefabrication factory. Two-foot-wide steel beams were enlisted to support the 20-module home. The primary building’s wings frame Pacific Ocean views and wrap a private courtyard with an infinity-edge pool. Five bedrooms disperse in a U-shape, along a corridor punctuated by low, horizontal windows facing the courtyard. To unite the character of the site, built form, and interior spaces, Robins exerted control over all aspects of the project.
