Proposal

Construction of a new two-story residence with an understory to replace an existing residence. The project includes multiple detached structures and requires several variances for understory requirements, elevator bulkhead height, driveway width, accessory structure height, fence height, and setbacks for existing structures.

From the Letter of Intent

A modern, uniquely designed two-story single-family home with understory within the RS-1 zoning district on lots 4, 5, and 6 of Star Island. The home features softly tapered rooflines and rounded volumes inspired by nature and the way the sea shapes the land, with carved openings allowing lush landscape to permeate the architecture.

  • Construction of new two-story single-family residence with understory
  • Renovation of three existing accessory structures to match architectural style
  • Installation of hurricane proof impact resistant windows
  • Elevation of first floor to 17.5 NGVD with 5 feet of freeboard
  • Installation of commercial grade residential elevators
  • Landscaping with salt tolerant, native plants
  • Stormwater retention systems
  • Cool/porous pavement materials
