This Surfhouse by Xten Architecture in sunny Hermosa Beach, California is a dream beach house. The abstract building made of weathered wood is just a few blocks from the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean. The architects had an extremely limited area on which to build the house.
Measuring 23 ft wide, 29 ft deep and 30 ft high, this stunning Surfhouse by Xten is quite small but looks incredibly roomy. An inset living room allows for a generous amount of light and makes this small living space seem spacious.
