A dated 1980s waterfront lot with a house that turned its back on the bay — small windows, closed rooms, no relationship to the water it sat beside.
A single volume lifted and opened toward the bay, organized around a sequence of thresholds — pool, loggia, garden — rather than a stack of closed rooms.
The footprint was reorganized around a long glazed edge facing the water, with cross-ventilated circulation and deep overhangs replacing the mechanical, inward-facing plan that was there before.
Living at the water's edge.
The main volume is lifted and glazed on its longest edge, so the bay is visible from nearly every room. Deep overhangs keep the Florida sun in check without a single blind.
A house that breathes.
Cross-ventilated corridors and an open central stair replace mechanical circulation wherever climate allows — quiet, efficient, and legible from the moment you enter.
Room by room, walk through the transformation.
“We wanted a house you could hear the water from.”Homeowner, Casa M
