A MODERN BEACH HOUSE 

At the end of a long private drive atop a hill sits this beautiful modern home surrounded by 1.4 park-like acres. The grounds compliment the trees and plantings in an urban country park setting with the seclusion of being in your very own park and close to the center of town.

The programmatic goals were to enlarge a very small kitchen & dining area, add a new den on the 1st floor having a direct connection to the pool area that had not previously existed, and add a new master bedroom on the 2nd floor. The new mahogany walkway leading to the pool continues into the house to provide access and a direct visual connection to the pool.

The original T11 sided house has been rebuilt as a white stucco volume. Compositionally the white geometric box becomes the anchor for the 3 new Cedar additions.

All 4 bedrooms were provided with a sitting area. A new, cantilevered 2-story bay window with built-in window seats has been added to the original small bedrooms facing the pool. The interior of these bay windows has been clad in wood to emphasize their material connection to the wood-clad exterior.
