Reviving a piece of architectural history was the goal when 2atara took on this remodel of a stunning 2269 sq. ft beachfront home built in 1990 by a renowned local architect. The house featured a unique layout with a runway effect from the entrance to the beach, but obstructed views and cramped spaces left room for improvement. The brief was to open up the living/kitchen space into an open floorplan, allowing seamless views from the entrance to the water. A beautiful dining table was placed to assist the line of sight while also enhancing the connection with the outdoors.

In the kitchen, we meticulously matched the existing fur cabinets and added new ones to maintain the original aesthetic. Cabinets were repurposed and redesigned to optimize functionality while respecting the architect’s vision. The house’s iconic 6’8” datum line guided our design decisions, ensuring harmony throughout.

We relocated the master bedroom to capture the best ocean views and cleverly integrated a hidden Murphy bed in the TV room, seamlessly blending style and functionality.

Throughout this project, it was imperative to us that we preserve the essence of the original architect’s intent while blending our own modern touches. Here at 2atara, we strive to protect these historically significant homes from demolition by updating them for contemporary living without compromising their integrity.

Transforming a 70-year-old home into a modern masterpiece! Our clients entrusted us with their eclectic taste, blending 50’s charm with edgy contemporary design. We seamlessly integrated found objects and original wood to create a curated blend of old and new. From mapping dead spaces to repurposing corridors into bathrooms, every inch was optimized for efficiency and innovation. Our kitchen design pushed boundaries with a sleek recessed exhaust hood, maximizing space without sacrificing style. At 2atara design + construction, we honor the past while embracing the future with transformative design solutions.

Dive into the brilliance of the Bick Tiny House by 2atara! 🌿 This recently completed project is a testament to versatile design, where a former music studio has been artfully transformed into a compact haven. Boasting a kitchenette, snug bedroom, loft space, and a flexible artist workspace—all cleverly optimized with Scandinavian modern elegance and clear maple accents—the Bick Tiny House is a visual delight. A custom-designed maple bed adds an intriguing spatial element, offering a direct view out the window, while floor-to-ceiling windows and strategically placed cubes play with scale to enhance the sense of space. The bathroom, with its unique bamboo cabinet detail within a large mirror, cleverly augments the perception of space. Sustainability takes center stage with a mini-split heat pump, making this Winter 2023 remodel a shining example of thoughtful design choices that have magically transformed a once-underutilized space into a resourceful retreat.
