This project is an extreme renovation to an existing single-family dwelling with an attached boathouse that is situated on a private island. A portion of the existing structure cantilevers over the water, creating a room with exceptional unobstructed views. It was paramount to the design to maintain this development area over the water.

The client requested a contemporary structure with an open floor plan and as much glass as possible. A low-slope (flat) roof system was designed to offer second story balcony opportunities and to keep the structure's height minimized. To help visually soften the structure we proposed an extensive green roof system. This style roof when planted with native species will also create natural landscape surroundings to the second floor balconies.
