The kitchen shows that approach most clearly. Above the stove, a slatted cabinet feature is partly open and partly closed, so it adds storage without making the wall feel heavy. For the countertops, we chose porcelain from Ibera Tile, partly because it allowed us to integrate a concealed cooktop. The surface stays clean and continuous, and it holds up to everyday use.

Storage was scarce in the primary bedroom, so we designed a full built-in above the headboard. It adds capacity without taking up floor space. In the primary bathroom, suspended mirrors and a sheer curtain soften the room while keeping the natural light. Dozo Carpentry crafted the cane staircase and illuminated handrails, which turn a circulation space into one of the home’s defining details.

The result is a home that feels warm, beachy, and personal. The storage it lacked has been restored, and the design respects what was already there instead of erasing it.
