Designing to maximize views on waterfront property



Custom Home on Waterway Property

An important design feature for a coastal home is to enjoy the view to the max. Often this means devoting the first floor to bedrooms, leaving the second floor, or a third floor for the principal living space where the household will spend most of its daylight hours. Sometimes we are able to provide a tower or “lookout level” for the ultimate waterfront views.

Fortner Residence



Virginia Beach, VA

This magnificent waterfront site is surrounded by deep water on three sides. The final design provides for the main living area and Master Bedroom to be on the second floor, which is surrounded by covered porches. The guest bedrooms are located on an elevated first floor, also surround by covered porches. This home is Earthcraft certified thanks to the efforts of contractor Craig Reed of Accent Builders in Virginia Beach.
