The design was inspired by the home’s prominent, waterfront location adjacent to Koko Marina and the clients’ love of boating. The main goals were to take advantage of the magnificent views, create indoor/outdoor living spaces, and preserve the existing residence.
The design concept was to celebrate the house’s location, a modern “boat house” design theme emerged, intended to be both playful and sophisticated.The house’s material and color palette was fashioned after vintage Chris-Craft boats. Nautical light fixtures add appropriate detail for effect throughout, and the use of oceancolored glass tiles expand the sense of view and lighten and brighten otherwise dark spaces. The house’s central great room ceiling was raised to create a curved ceiling like that of a boat hull.The marina-facing wall was completely opened.
