Introduction
This waterfront Victorian was in need of a full makeover. What was lacking from this home the minute we stepped through the front door was the connection from front to back through to the Atlantic Ocean. Like many houses of its time, all living areas were closed off by narrow cased openings or doorways. An ill-designed existing structure off the rear not only disrupted the flow on the interior, but also lacked continuity on the exterior. Moves like razing this form and moving the existing stairs helped to seamlessly tie in the house as a whole. This gave us the continuity we were looking for on the exterior while creating the opportunity to begin to open the main living areas to maximize the oceanfront view.
