JONATHAN SEGAL, FAIA – THE CRESTA
The Cresta is a sustainable net-zero 5300sq ft
Southern California residence that uses
wood and concrete to process a reductive
design form bridging the gap between indoor
and outdoor. The home is one story below
grade and two above. It is framed by a
delicate concrete roof and wall structure over
a reflecting pool. The large expanses of glass
enhance the floating appearance.

Jury Comments
“This project is surprisingly subtle, due to
the way the house is tied into the property
line, and fact that the concrete becomes a
horizontal plane. It’s overall a very successful
expression.”
