Surf House

This gorgeous house is a surfers dream. Built in Santa Cruz, California, on the edge of one of the state´s best surf breaks, Surf House is a family home that celebrates coastal living, surfing culture, and sustainable design. Designed by Feldman Architecture studio, the house has a polished bohemian feel, and is clad with untreated batten slats and wooden boards that will weather to a beautiful, silvery-gray color over time. Once inside, full walls of glazing open the interior up to views of the Pacific. The dwelling features a surfboard storage unit and a garage that protect both the entrance and front courtyard. There is also an inviting outdoor space that features a built-in hot tub and a dining area with an outdoor kitchen to get the most out of the California coast.
