Bay House.
A low, horizontal house pushed to the edge of its bay-front lot, built to disappear into the water and mangrove line rather than dominate it.

A tall, closed-off house competing with the high-rises nearby instead of the water beside it — the bay was barely visible from inside.
A single low roofline held deliberately below the skyline, with the entire water-facing wall designed to disappear rather than frame a view through windows.
The water-side wall was rebuilt in full sliding glass panels that fold away completely, dissolving the line between the living room and the dock beyond it.
Horizontal by discipline.
A single low roofline runs the length of the site, deliberately restrained against the tall towers nearby — privacy and proportion valued over height.
Framing the bay, not fighting it.
Sliding glass walls fold away completely along the water side, dissolving the line between the living room and the dock beyond it.
Room by room, walk through the transformation.
“The best room in the house is the one you can't see from the street.”2S Development, Principal
