This 1960s ranch was transformed into a spacious, airy beach cottage -- ideal for its laid-back Jekyll Island setting. The living room, kitchen, dining room and rear sun room was combined and opened up. The existing eight-foot tall ceilings were opened up to the roof structure, creating a wide open space. Contractor: Wilson Construction, Brunswick, GA

Dave and Phoebe also designed the home with Hurricane protection in mind: “Due to the complete destruction of the two largest houses in this part of Abaco during Hurricane Betsy in 1965, Phoebe and I decided to build lower, and in two small buildings joined by decks: the living room, dining room and kitchen under one roof, the bedrooms and baths under another. This would accomplish two of our objectives: smaller, lower roofs and greater cooling air flow in all rooms.” Brenda Olde Photography © 2012 Houzz

Springfield 63'' Marble Classical pilasters with anthemion-leaf capitals distinguish the regency-style Springfield chimneypiece, a restrained design capable of adapting to any environment. The surround is intricately hand-carved in imperial white marble – white being the traditional colour of choice due to its versatility and relative consistency of tone. The somerset steel hob grate is shown with a coal-effect gas fire, though a solid- fuel option can be provided; a matching somerset mirror and contrasting granite hearth make stylish finishing touches.
