Venice beach house by Antoine Predock, a classic from the '80's.
The house is a concrete shell, with the primary floor lifted a couple of feet up above the ground. Black polished granite articulates the displacement, at the end of the house on the beach side, becoming a reflecting pool and a waterfall.
The black granite pulls into the house through a red-framed window that pivots vertically around a center pin. When entering the house, the granite tapers back to the entry creating a forced perspective of polished granite towards the red-framed window.
Thus, the polish of the granite, with the terminal reflecting pool-a view is foreshortened to the ocean from the entry!
