The house was contemporary.
Built by an architect whose name everyone but me was familiar with.
"A _____ house."
I will have to find out the name from Dorothy because I don't remember it.

It was built into the sand dunes.
Multiple decks emerged from the main structure in a natural manner,
integrating with sand and dune grasses
and providing different vistas to the ocean.

It was comprised of two sections. The main section,
beachside, with a long open living room area punctuated with many large glass windows
so that it seemed like an enclosed porch.

In between the two sections of the house was a courtyard.
