During the warmest months, the LaCantina door is almost always open. Not only does this regulate the temperature indoors thanks to the comforting sea breeze that is captured, it also expands the footprint of the home out toward the ocean by incorporating the wraparound porch floor area as usable living space. A large roof overhang above the door adds to the atmosphere of the porch as it creates comforting shade at the height of the summer day and focuses the view out to the ocean horizon line. " We sleep with the doors open and fall asleep to the sounds of the waves, " Feldman notes happily. " It's a paradise where we can escape the world.
