The home was rebuilt using universal design elements including a residential elevator and open floor plan, with lots of entertainment spaces and to maximize the incredible views. The project included a breathtaking great room, bar, outdoor kitchen, exercise room, media room and wine cellar. The boat house was leveled and re-surfaced, with a new deck added above.

Design Statement
This project was challenging project for several reasons. Its accessibility made it very difficult to get materials delivered. We took this two-level home and turned the lower level screened porch into a storage area. A beautiful bump-out was built for the three story staircase. Excavation under the existing home made it possible to build a new basement foundation in order to house a creative wine cellar. The spiral staircase leads all the way down to the wine cellar and in the basement level is surrounded by stone.
