This is a very nice vacation home. The screen is a great idea and really improves the lines of the home.

[...] In many ways, a small house can be more luxurious than a large one because of the casual simplicity it affords. The owners of this little retreat in the dunes appreciated the lifestyle their quirky but comfortable weekend house provided for many years but its flaws needed correcting: space was tight for their growing family, areas of the structure were sagging, and large expanses of glass admitted too much direct sunlight. Also, the form of the house, a series of boxes and turrets, was somewhat awkward looking. The challenge in this major renovation and addition on a restricted site was to add space and amenities while simplifying the form and function of the house into a balanced whole that fit within the owners’ busy lives. read more + more images via ARCH DAILY [...]

Well the floor plan is very interesting, and judging from the photos I like the views but I somewhat disagree that “a small house can be more luxurious than a large one because of the casual simplicity it affords”, because semantically speaking a large house can accommodate lavishness and opulence better, that being said there is a casual simplicity to this project which cannot be denied, and I think it’s very good actually.

Cohesiveness certainly looks to be the mantra here. I like the renovation (even though the original home wasn’t half bad, albeit somewhat disjointed), but really wish more emphasis was placed on natural light.

I prefer the original construction (judging by the photo) than the new proposal.

I think there is some misunderstanding in this project. It makes me think that architect or his client couldn’t actually make up their mind which direction (style)they wanted to go.
