Pulling ques from the historic James Johnston home and its iconic saltbox profile, as well as the unique man-made jetty near Pillar Point, BREAKWATER pairs two small homes together onto one footprint and by mirroring their direction - fashion themselves into a delicate combination of mass and space for a crafted Half Moon Bay specific home.

Half Moon Bay, California

At 320 square feet, this efficient and simple home is constructed from one intermodal shipping container modified to sit within a 16’ x 20’ footprint. Both units sit cantelivered above one 8’ x 40’ container base which creates both foundation and additional storage / outdoor living for the two units.

Integrated with a corrugated steel clad skin, rope inspired railings, a recycled wood deck, solar roof tiles, and a saltbox sky window - the outdoors and local community are interwoven throughout the architecture making each of the varied spaces feel crafted, expansive, and peacefully at home in their surroundings.
