    At the heart of Foxhill La Jolla, the proposed residence for Lot Three is a 13,000 square-foot modern sanctuary that seamlessly blends bold urban design with lush tropical vitality. This 7-bedroom, 8.5-bath retreat showcases a dynamic interplay of geometry and nature, with cascading greenery softening its striking, minimalist concrete architecture. Layered overhangs, brimming with vibrant plants, imbue the home with an organic energy, making it feel both commanding and alive.

Expansive glass walls blur the boundaries between indoors and out, allowing natural light to flood the interiors while framing unobstructed views of the surrounding greenery.

    Nestled in the heart of Foxhill La Jolla, the proposed residence for Lot Two is a 12,500-square-foot, 6-bedroom, 7.5-bath tropical modern home with sweeping 270-degree views of the ocean, canyon, and surrounding nature preserve. The home's striking design is defined by its wide, splaying wood rooflines, which appear to float effortlessly above the structure, evoking the serenity of a lush tropical canopy. Upon arrival, a bridge gracefully spans two sunken gardens, flooding the lower level with natural light while offering a dramatic and welcoming approach to the home. Inside, the layout flows seamlessly, mimicking the ambiance of a boutique retreat. To the right, an entertainment "lobby" pavilion serves as the heart of the home, while the private family wing extends to the left. Operable wood screens wrap around the second floor, creating the illusion of a floating wood box. These screens can fully open to invite ocean breezes and frame panoramic views. Anchored by a weathered stone base, this residence blends modern sophistication with rustic textures, creating a harmonious connection between nature and architecture. With its signature floating rooflines, seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, and thoughtful design, the proposed residence is a modern oasis and a true architectural gem on the edge of the nature preserve.

    A bold expression of geometric precision, the proposed home for Lot Five is a striking architectural statement that embraces clean lines, dramatic cantilevers, and a seamless connection to its coastal surroundings. Designed as a series of stacked and overhanging volumes, the home’s sculptural form maximizes ocean views while integrating seamlessly with the adjacent canyon landscape. The interplay between the solid concrete base and the lighter wood-framed upper levels creates a dynamic contrast, reinforcing the home’s modern aesthetic. Positioned on a narrower lot, the residence is intentionally oriented to frame expansive ocean views, with its cantilevered forms extending outward toward the horizon. These overhanging structures not only amplify the visual impact but also create shaded terraces that enhance the home’s indoor-outdoor living experience. The carefully curated material palette—contrasting raw concrete with warm wood elements—grounds the home in its natural environment while lending a sense of weightlessness to its upper volumes. With its bold yet balanced design, the proposed home stands as a testament to the harmony between structure and landscape, offering a refined coastal retreat that is as visually compelling as it is functionally innovative.
