Longboat Key Renovation

The original 1970s design featured a three-story home wrapped in outdated horizontal siding and a warren of small dark rooms. The important aspects of the redesign included opening the house to capture the view of the bayou and creating a breezy sense of indoor-outdoor living. A strong relationship was established between the home and the bayou and pool through the use of sliding-pocketing doors and wider terraces. 

The interior redesign stripped the house down to the studs. A portion of the roof was reconfigured to add more space within the same footprint, and an inviting and open floor plan was devised through the removal of several walls.  The kitchen was relocated to be home’s focal point, featuring stainless steel, bamboo flooring, and granite countertops.  The new plan and sense of flow in the house turned it into a highly livable space at 4,450 SF with open areas perfect for the homeowners’ evening entertaining. Now there’s access to outdoor decks and stunning views from every room.
