London A+D’s minimalist approach defined everything: no art, no decoration, no visual noise. The house is a series of monolithic cypress-clad volumes — closed and private on the road side, open entirely to the water on the other.
The siding is cypress, wire-brushed twice and finished by Coastal Cedar to achieve a tone pulled from the trees surrounding it — a color that, nearly seven years later, remains exactly as intended. Landscape architect Marshall Paetzel worked with the natural topography rather than imposing on it. Executing London A+D’s design — where every material transition is intentional — made this one of the most demanding and rewarding collaborations in the firm’s history.
