The project entailed the complete renovation of a Florida home that, due to FEMA regulations, wasn’t expanded but every square inch is put to use.
The story starts with a couple, empty nesters, looking to downsize now that the kids are out of the house. After spending two years looking, they happened upon a well sited ranch house in desparate need of updating.
Why buy such a fixer-upper? It was all about the view. The house is at the end of a waterway, so unlike homes that look across the canal at other homes, there’s nothing but a straight shot to the open water.
So opening up the back wall to take full advantage of the view is what the house became all about.
