Like all the most-loved beach houses, it offers the see-through peek at the ocean through the living room upon arrival.

Its transparent floating roof suggests suggests a sail on the ocean beyond.

Steel and glass best weathers a harsh coastal climate.

Muted greys and silvers mimic the natural colours of the beach and coastal vegetation.

Offering a straight shot to the beach, the house is perfectly sited for multiple summers of fun.

With upper and lower levels for sleeping, it graciously accommodates different generations of extended family.

The floating roof allows the summer sun to lavish lovely light where everyone gathers for meals in the open plan great room.

Transparency and the roof floating high above is part of the delight of this beach house overlooking the sea.

It’s a view guaranteed to lift the spirits upon return to a fondly remembered vacation house.
