Venice Canals Project

The house was a new construction entirely made of steel. It occupied almost the entire plot of land and no perimeter fence had yet been constructed. Walkers along the canal regularly approached the house to offer sometimes unwelcome architectural critiques.

Construction in the area is highly regulated by the coastal commission. Their rules prohibit extensive use of concrete as a paving material, as a high percentage of the surface area must be permeable to percolation.

The homeowner wanted a deck, a fire pit, and privacy from passersby.
