10 Modern Design Point Loma House in San Diego
According to the architects, “the house has been conceived according
to passive solar and natural ventilation design principles. Horizontal
sunshades shield glass from summer heat gain, while the interior is
naturally ventilated via the central atrium and clerestory windows. The
house’s simple form is compact (48’ L x 40’ W x 23’ H), minimizing the
exterior surface area, maximizing thermal performance, and reducing
electrical and plumbing runs. The living, dining, kitchen and master
bedroom are located on the upper level and oriented to capture views of
the Pacific Ocean, Mission Bay and La Jolla“. You could say that
the most striking thing about this home is the fact that 95% of
anticipated electrical needs are ensured by a roof-mounted photovoltaic
system. A clever way to go, especially for a residence of these
dimensions.
