Located on a cliff top overlooking the ocean below Altamira residence is a modern modular home design consisting of independent modules. The modules include the main house, guest house, library and garage. Though they are independently built structures, together they look connected through their exterior design. Altamira house is an award winning single family home designed by the architectural firm Marmol Radziner and Associates. It is located on a 20 acre ranch along the Palos Verdes Peninsula in California. The ranch is an undeveloped property covered with wild shrubs and vegetation. It is a perfect spot for enjoying picnics, camping and family time together. The owner of the property wanted to retain the unkempt look and feel of the site.
Altamira residence is a spacious house with a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding landscapes. The house is designed keeping in mind the geography and topography of the area. The modules are built on step like formations on the sloping site. They look as if they emerge from the land. The exteriors of the house are designed in such a way that they merge well with the surrounding landscape. Concrete walls with stone veneer, glass windows and sloping roof design look beautiful among the rocky terrain by the Pacific Ocean. Decomposed granite gravel paths are used to connect different spots on the site such as camping deck, fire pits, swimming pool, vegetable garden and volleyball court. Man made structures blend very well with the natural landscape of the site.
Interiors of the house look warm and comfortable with wood casework and built in furniture. Furniture is designed in a unique style matching with the rugged set up of the house. Open living space consists of living room, dining room and kitchen. In the kitchen area there is a hanging book self above kitchen counter. Bedroom is sunny and spacious with slanting wooden roof fixed with accent lighting. Pendant lights in dining area are also distinctively designed. There are huge open spaces inside the house giving it a relaxed feel. Large glass windows offer seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. They offer multiple views of surrounding expanses of beautiful landscapes and the Pacific Ocean. A huge swimming pool outdoor is surrounded by concrete deck and vegetable gardens. It is a perfect place to relax during sunny weather. Altamira residence with all the modern amenities is a dream home for any family.
