Surfhouse Hermosa Beach XTEN Architecture

Surfhouse designed by XTEN Architecture is not far from our house, down the street from our landlord's house.  We pass it each time we drop off our rent check, and every time we get excited.  It is quite visually stunning with its black geometric exterior.  I'd love to move in.

From the designer: 
The facade is made from rough sawn, black stained cedar planks with volumetric openings at primary program spaces and a system of identical vertical casement windows arrayed across the secondary elevations for specific views and ventilation. The interior is all light and air, with bamboo floors and walls of glass that slide away to bring the beachside environment inside.
