Barkley Residence
Laguna Beach, CA

Obstacles
Hillside construction, expansive soils, curved surfaces, infinity edge pool and jacuzzi out of grade.

Solutions
Caisson and grade beam system was used for the foundations. Due to the presence of expansive soils, the lower level floors are structural slabs. Structural steel members were used to create the curved decks and canopies. A composite metal deck and concrete slab system was used for the mid-level stepped deck. A caisson and grade beam system was used to support the pool and jacuzzi which are out of grade.
