This new, ocean-view home is built on a residential street two blocks from of the Atlantic Ocean. The home was designed to balance the owners’ desire for a modern beach-house style while still belonging to and enhancing the established neighborhood of original cottages and newer, three-story homes. Designed for a 40-foot wide lot, the home makes the most of the narrow, 26-foot-wide buildable area through the use of cantilevered decks and porches. The home’s scale is kept in proportion to the original houses on the street by limiting the front to two stories and by setting the roof deck behind a gabled parapet wall. Integrity® All Ultrex® windows and doors were specified for this house because of their durability to stand up to the harsh, coastal environment and meet the strict impact zone ratings.
