California Retro Beach Home

This modern beach home was designed for repeat customers that didn't want to do this without us. Currently under construction on the ocean just north of Jupiter Inlet, Florida, this special home has a laid-back feel with a retro California flavor. It would be easy to imagine a vintage woody stationwagon in the garage with a long surfboard on top.

While offering lots of privacy, the entry courtyard invites you to proceed to the large pivoting entry door. The exterior is modern but still feels warm with wood accents that are actually porcelain tile for ease of maintenance. Hidden from view is a rooftop terrace to view the sunset at the end of the day.

Of course the rear beachside of the home focuses on the ocean but so does the lifestyle. Outdoor living spaces, balconies and indoor areas that open up to the outside, create a seamless transition between inside and outside that can be potentially enjoyed for most of the year. There are so many areas to gather and entertain or relax that you need to mix it up a little to keep from overlooking anything.

3D floor plans may offer a better understanding of the spaces. With the addition of colors, materials and even appliances and fixtures, the space can really be demonstrated fully.

The real beauty of presenting in 3D, is that the design is so much easier to convey early in the process; unlike flat 2D drawings that are often difficult to interpret. This is a tremendous benefit to the buyer and allows them to fully understand how the home will look and feel when it's complete.

Our 3D software allows us to present preliminary design concepts before committing to construction drawings. This saves time and money, while allowing the customer to see views not available on 2D drawings.

We use perspective images, flat floor plans and elevations, and videos as you see here, plus we can also provide a live virtual fly-around inside and outside of the home.
