2005 Best Whole House Remodel Over $500K

The property originally consisted of a 40+ year old one-story residence located within 20 feet of the high-water line of the Gulf of Mexico. The scope of the project involved constructing a completely new 3,970 square foot main house residence on the existing foundation of the original house, as well as adding a new 1,761 square foot guesthouse structure, covered walkway and a pool/spa. The existing residence could only be rebuilt within the footprint of the existing house without modifications to the foundation in order to qualify for a Florida Department of Environmental Protection exemption. So the entire existing residence was detached from its foundation and lifted approximately six feet so the foundation walls could be extended and the house would then meet the required base flood elevation. Once the required elevation was attained, the limitations for renovating structures within flood zones were eliminated and the structure was demolished down to the existing structural floor system and reconstructed. The completed project now provides more protection from possible storm surge and meets current building codes for wind protection. The style of the home retains an Asian flavor, but it has an updated, more comfortable floor plan and creates unparalleled view of the Gulf of Mexico.
