Seaside Builders Of Delray Beach, FloridaPhotography by ibi designs, inc. ( http://www.ibidesigns.com/)
Josh Wynne ConstructionBeachHaus is built on a previously developed site on Siesta Key. It sits directly on the bay but has Gulf views from the upper floor and roof deck.
The client loved the old Florida cracker beach houses that are harder and harder to find these days. They loved the exposed roof joists, ship lap ceilings, light colored surfaces and inviting and durable materials.
Given the risk of hurricanes, building those homes in these areas is not only disingenuous it is impossible. Instead, we focused on building the new era of beach houses; fully elevated to comfy with FEMA requirements, exposed concrete beams, long eaves to shade windows, coralina stone cladding, ship lap ceilings, and white oak and terrazzo flooring.
The home is Net Zero Energy with a HERS index of -25 making it one of the most energy efficient homes in the US. It is also certified NGBS Emerald.

Shoreline Pools, Inc.The long, lean swimming pool and raised spa were set perpendicular to the home to take full advantage of the rectangular property. Extra-wide limestone coping provides a stunning frame, hides the skimmers with custom stone lids, and seamlessly blends with the random-rectangular limestone deck running the full width of the home. A custom pool house and mature, layered hedges add complete privacy to this beautiful backyard.

Envision Outdoor SpacesA rendering of a retaining wall with mulch on either side and a gravel path to delineate the border helps frame the pool. The rendering depicts boulders strewn among muhly grass and spider liles. Native grasses are shown alternating between spider lilies along the existing metal fence. A Japanese maple and gardenias flanking the existing wooden fence are depicted in the background.
