With a picturesque location on a canal off the Gulf of
Mexico, the challenge of this project was to achieve a renovation that would
accommodate a world-class yacht designer while achieving a relaxed, Florida aesthetic. The
original 1950s ranch home had small, dark rooms with little connection to the
outdoors. Thus, the renovation focused on maximizing openness, incorporating
natural light, and creating an organic flow throughout the house. The new layout
of the floor plan incorporates views of the water while textured patterns merge
with clean symmetry for a sleek, yet inviting atmosphere. The primary feature
became the curve of the roofline, raised to sixteen feet, which was designed to
simulate the lines of a yacht.
