AIACC 2014 RESIDENTIAL DESIGN AWARDS MERIT AWARDS 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.

It’s overall a very successful expression.” 68 trendsideas.com
