Ellison Guesthouse

The Ellison Guesthouse is a contemporary retreat in Pedasi designed to act as a wide lens over the Pacific. We positioned the residence at the edge of the site incline to hide its extensive garage and boat storage from the primary views. This strategic move turned the architecture into a barrier for the street and ensured the living spaces remained a private sanctuary. It is a Mediterranean reinterpretation that balances high-capacity function with a refined lifestyle.

A stone-clad lower level grounds the house while a white upper volume provides modern sophistication. Deep linear terraces and bougainvilleas soften the geometry and allow the home to breathe in its tropical context. The upper level features a central social area flanked by master suites with L-shaped balconies. Every interior space is linked to the terrace to ensure the sea is a permanent guest in the home.
