2244 Round Top Drive

This unique tropical brutalist home, designed by architect Chip Detweiler, embraces minimalist principles and integrates seamlessly with its natural surroundings. With open-screen windows that welcome the elements and floors made of lava stone, the home epitomizes passive architecture. Its clean lines, lack of ornamentation, and honest materials like concrete, wood, and stone create a minimalist aesthetic that highlights the beauty of simplicity. The home’s restoration has revived its original design, returning it to a time when its bold, open structure and deep ocean-blue accents captured the essence of tropical brutalism in the Pacific.

A home where luxury meets functionality, designed to enrich every moment spent indoors and out.
