While i do love the place, i was never really sure about that bedroom. Can’t you see easily into it off the street?

Hi there, I couldn’t see any means to email you, and so I really hope that you read this comment. I own a website covering ladies wetsuits, and thought you might like to swap links with me. I have submitted my email address in case you choose to get in touch. Thanks.

One of my favorite houses on this website! Great, functional design for beach living. I love the use of color inside and out, but wonder how the exterior will hold up in coastal conditions (salt reaction). Don’t know what was used for exterior treatment and cladding. Could anybody elaborate…?

Haha, very nice! Good things are cleared up now. The house is very well built, which I like a lot. The strobe and the palmtrees are kind of misleading with the comparision to renders. Sorry that my (litlle bit provocative) guess was wrong in the beginning.

Notes from the photographer:

“LOL….. this is too funny…. yes, the house is real. The photos were taken by me with my little old Canon 5D on a very sunny clear day this past summer. Nothing fancy, no rendering, , I just shot RAW files. NO special programs to sandwich exposures…( I wish I knew how to do all that!) I did not photoshop anything, I gave the Raw files to the architect , my good friend. Any enhancements would have been done by him, but to my knowledge , it is just a little “shadow/highlight” and some saturation, nothing too fancy…. the house is just black and white, and the day was quite clear, so the sky was very blue,so it did “pop” more than most houses I shoot…. I did strobe the interiors to capture the balance of inside to outside. I usually try to make it look natural , as I used to be an architectural lighting designer, in this case the architect may have chosen to use an exposure that was more “strobed” than another… not sure….I bracket a lot…. The house also did not have much furniture, so it does lend itself to a “rendering” look… The surfboard is real, it is mine…

This was a very quick simple job ( I did not even have an assistant with me) of a cool little beach house…..I hope this puts minds at ease!!

All the best, Art Gray”

Nice – the patio looks like a real outdoor extension / room.

I think Geert is right about the indoor pics though. The house may be built but the pics are from a renderprogram. Look at the picture of the surfboard and wetsuit. Then look at the picture before that. The palmtrees are exactly the same.

Mark, that called HDR photos. Although these photos looks more like natural ones which made in the right daytime with a good camera.

I forgot to mention that I also do like te building! I also believe it’s real ;) But I doubted the pictures a little. Sorry about that.

What are you talking about guys, this house is real, it’s already built.

I really like it, it’s cool and not pretentious, very nice plan, and nice sections. It would be interesting to know the budget. I wonder what can of view one could have on the roof top. I actually though the slope on the ceiling was there because of a pool on the roof top…
Would be nice to have BBQ on that terrasse…
