Gallery Of Homes: Sunset

Coastal traditional architecture makes this home look like it belongs in Seaside, quite at home on the water.

The entire ground floor is a 1750 sf garage with room for 4 vehicles and a large shop area with a half bath and a dumb waiter up to the top 2 floors.

The concrete flow diverters channel flood waters through the rear garage and middle doors away from any structural support walls. The porch columns are anchored to sub surface concrete grade beams tied into the main foundation to resist scour and impact from floating debris.

What a jewel!

The home's unique flood-thru design worked perfectly during hurricane Ivan in 2004 when the flood waters flowed through the water side garage doors and came out the front garage doors without causing any structural damage. No expensive blow out walls to repair. You can see how the structural walls which are perpendicular to the wave action have not been damaged. Solid concrete flow diverters on the back side channeled flood waters through the rear garage door openings and out the front. You can see these flow diverters in the rear elevation picture.

Master bedroom has a borrowed view through the master bathroom. There are twin pocket doors to close off the room when desired.

Who couldn't relax here? Just open the windows and you'll think your in a spa out on the back porch.

What was I worried about again? Must not have been too important.
