It is easy to fall in love with a beach house. It is even easier to dream about that picture-perfect retreat on the edge of an ocean that seems to invite the waves indoors. But what is harder is bringing his dream to life and doing so while getting past all the practical hurdles.

But the creative folk at Feldman Architecture seem to have found a way around all the problems that this windy lot in Santa Cruz posed with a design that is elegant, open and unique.
