Two Sides, Two Ways is a panel parallelogram pivoting ninety degrees on hydraulic hinges, transforming the East Terrace from an open patio into a sheltered barbecue pavilion. Closed, it reads as a singular textured wall. Open, it becomes a ceiling suspended above, its underside and engineering choreography revealed.

Forty two CNC milled aluminum panels, satin anodized by Neal Feay, carry the house's geometric language: ellipsoids. Large voids punch completely through, framing views and channeling light. A secondary constellation of smaller perforations creates dappled radiance, while a final ball end mill pass scallops the surface in diagonal lines that shift with the angle of the day.

The wall reads across distance and intimacy at once, bold from the street, tactile up close, its lightweighted back revealing a landscape of removed material when opened. Morning light catches the texture; evening light casts through the perforations toward the Channel Islands; at night, interior glow joins a choreographed field of pool deck lighting in matching geometry.

Two orientations, two faces, two entirely different experiences of the same constructed gesture.
