Scope
Windows, millwork, floors, paint, primary suite, laundry and storage, lanai

The challenge

A waterfront house on St. Armands that still lived like a northern floor plan: leftover rooms, two small toilet rooms in the primary suite, a cramped laundry, and openings that did not do the work the water asked of them.

The vision

Florida-style living. Windows that actually use the view. Millwork carried through the house. New floors and paint as one language. A primary suite replanned for how people live here — not a cosmetic bath swap.

The strategy

The openings first. Then millwork throughout — office, laundry, baths, foyer storage — so the house has a finish language. Reconfigure the master: remove two toilet rooms, expand laundry and storage, enlarge the shower, rework the master foyer with more storage. Paint and floors last so the rooms agree.

The construction

Whole-home work on the keys is logistics, protection, and trade sequencing. Windows, millwork, floors, paint, and the wet work in the rebuilt suite had to land in the same calendar while the house stayed a house.

The result

A residence used at the water’s edge — windows, millwork thought through, new floors and paint, and a primary suite that was rebuilt as living, with storage that belongs to a Florida house.

After

Great room with millwork, a custom wet bar, and a staircase with a blue runner
Covered lanai with a wood ceiling, glass railing, palms, and a water view
Primary bath double vanity with arched black-framed mirrors, shiplap, and white quartz
Primary bath after the suite was reconfigured — soaking tub and vanity wall as one room
Enlarged primary shower with dual black rain heads, white subway tile, and a marble niche
Shower bench and mosaic niche in the rebuilt primary bath
Soaking tub deck with subway tile, a window niche, and black fixtures
Primary bedroom with a sitting area after the suite was replanned
Built-in millwork office with shiplap, a leather chair, and a sail painting
Custom millwork desk and storage in the home office
Expanded laundry and storage millwork with open cubbies, baskets, and a washer-dryer pair
Powder room with blue leaf wallpaper, a rope sconce, and a pedestal sink

During construction

During: primary suite gutted and reframed — two toilet rooms came out so laundry, storage, and the shower could grow
During: primary suite demolition — walls opened, plumbing dropped, rooms combined
During: suite walls opened to the octagon window, insulation, and new plumbing in the wet wall
During: PEX and blocking in the rebuilt wet wall before drywall
During: mortar bed in the enlarged primary shower, Kerdi on the walls
During: Kerdi-lined shower with a linear drain and a built-in bench — the shower that replaced two toilet rooms
During: new primary vanity and shower as the suite comes back together
During: foyer and laundry hall after the suite was replanned — new floors, millwork going in
During: foyer floors coming up — staircase, wood doors, and the new millwork language already on the walls
During: occupied-house protection while floors and paint move through the living rooms
During: new PGT window with millwork casing being fit — the openings the house was missing
