House at Toro Canyon designed by Barton Myers Associates. Photograph by Richard Powers.

So much bookshelf space - /swoons

Barton Myers’ own residence, the house is comprised of four pavilions on three stepped terraces, carefully positioned to preserve the natural site landscape. A garage and guest house form the lower terrace, the main residence occupies the intermediate terrace, while the upper terrace holds a studio building. Each pavilion is an open, loft space, enclosed by glazed ‘garage’ doors, with an exposed structural frame and concrete floors. Clerestory windows provide mountain views and ample natural ventilation, taking advantage of ocean breezes.
