The owners had lived here two years and still called it unfinished. The problem was not the furniture. It was that no room told you where to sit.

Two cooks, one narrow run of counter, and nowhere to put anything down. The plan was rebuilt around how this family actually moves through a meal.

A house on the water where the view was the whole point, and the rooms kept competing with it. Glass, warm wood and tropical planting let the horizon take over.

The ground falls away behind this house, which is why the view is the best thing on the property and also why almost none of it was being used. The layout plan turned a slope into rooms.
