This home is organized around a cross axis.
The primary axis is identified along the entry walkway adjacent to a linear reflecting pool. This pool re-emerges on the opposite side of the house at the living room as a lap pool. A second level balcony is bisected by a glass wall. Exterior finishes include hard trowel pigmented stucco and stainless steel railings.

Mitchell O'Neil's unique "Turquoise House" design received an Honor Award for Design by the American Institute of Architects.
