Project Narrative

The lot is narrow and the water is close, so the house begins by lifting itself. Garage and storage hold the ground plane while the two living levels rise above the design flood elevation, high enough to find the breeze that comes in off the bay every afternoon. Arrival happens in shade, under the building, then turns and climbs into a great room that opens the full width of the plan toward the water and the dock beyond.

The material palette answers to salt air and long sun. Cementitious lap siding and crisp trim keep their edge through humid summers, a standing seam metal roof sheds Gulf Coast rain in one clean gesture, and impact-rated glazing brings in the light without letting the weather follow. A rooftop deck gives the family one more place to stand in the open, above the palms, where the evening belongs.
