Vault House / Johnston Marklee

Situated in a densely developed beach site in Southern California, the Vault House challenges the typology commonly found on narrow oceanfront lots. Instead of directing its focus on the single prime ocean view, an array of transparent interior spaces layered inside the main volume, offer a multiplicity of oblique views through the house while capturing natural light from a variety of angles. With the assembly of stacked and unidirectional vaulted rooms contained within a simple rectilinear volume, the parallel orientation of the rooms acts as a filter that extends the oceanfront view from the beachfront façade to the West through to the street at the Eastern boundary of the site.

With the ever-increasing challenges of water use in Southern California the City of Oxnard has set itself apart from other municipalities through its efforts to reduce imported water used to service their residents, businesses, and farmers by way of the GREAT Program. The GREAT Program, or Groundwater Recovery Enhancement and Treatment Program, uses reclaimed water found within the city limits reducing the impact on other, more stressed water sources.
