Architectural Gem Renewed

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.
