This minimal beach contemporary house is entirely "open plan", with the ground floor consisting of the kitchen, dining room and living room not only open to one another, but to the outdoors as well. The kitchen conveniently opens to the deck for easy outdoor living. No walls separate the spaces to allow for easy communication. Plenty of storage is available in the kitchen that encourages clutter-free living. The 2nd story con sisters of the master bedroom and bathroom. The bed and bath are separated by the headboard/half wall. This allows for an outdoor view while maintaining privacy from the bath area. The custom fireplace takes the chill out of the night and sets a romantic mood for the room. This open plan gives a smaller sized home the feeling of vast, open space while harmonizing with the outdoors.
