San Francisco-based architect Cass Calder Smith, AIA’s has managed to give the client the type of experience that one would have sitting in a beach house off the coast of Miami Beach, only this is neccisarily on a coast. This work dubbed the Seadrift Residence is actually located at the mouth of Balinas Lagoon in a small town located in Stinson Beach, California. Waterfront property can pose a great challenge for the architect because you have to achieve a balance between what the client wants, what possible on the edge of the water and what looks good in that particular atmosphere. It sort of looks like the architect envisioned some sort of dock and built the house from that vision. I wouldn't be surprised if the client feels as if they are partially residing on the water. It's funny how proximity to a body of water can make anything look light as a feather.
