Project Description

Priorities

  • Expand narrow foyer to create a grander entry
  • Add light and drama to the great room
  • Create better sight lines to the ocean view

Solutions

Though small, the 1-foot deep gabled
addition packs a punch by adding height to the living room ceiling and
creating a framework for the ocean view. Wainscoting and millwork add
elegance to the entire great room, wrapping around the fireplace and new
wall of media cabinets. The same millwork is used in the new foyer
where the architect added a 5-foot deep addition with a cathedral
ceiling to create a more impressive entry. A new mahogany front door
welcomes visitors, and larger windows bring more light into the space.

Judges’ Comments

The judges noted the new entry’s “improved sequence” that takes
advantage of ocean views and the open spaces surrounding the property.
The jury also commented on the project’s “incredible integration” of new
and existing spaces.
