SUN HOUSE is a single-family house located in Costa Mesa, California. We were responsible for remodeling the house and the addition of a dining area and a backyard. Our remodeling of the house aims to enhance the overall spatial dialogue between the habitable space and the mild-breezed and comfortable coastal environment of Costa Mesa. We extended the dining room further into the backyard and utilized a large sliding glass door to blur the boundaries between the interior and exterior, allowing the newly constructed outdoor terrace to serve as a secondary space. The seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces brings the refreshing sea breeze of Costa Mesa into the house. In our remodeling design, we moved the kitchen from the corridor to the original dining room area on the west side. This adjustment opened up a larger and more expansive view, which deepened the connection between the whole structure and the outdoors.
