On the far left of the windows, a new sliding glass door has replaced a set of windows that formed the bay. The designers wanted to grant immediate access to the home's most central deck, so they replaced the window area with the doors. They allow the homeowner to easily grill for the family and provides more roaming room for the pets. When open, it creates cross ventilation with the family/keeping room's doors when they are stacked back. Scott Moore Photography

Pineapple House designers relocated the master bathroom door so it aligns visually with the master bedroom door. When entering the master, the relocation enables a view that runs through both rooms to the softly draped walls that surround the soaking tub. From the tub area, the homeowners can see to the center of the house where a large pendant-style, multi-globe chandelier hangs above and through their staircase. A Bonisolli Photography

Cape Cod; Dennis, MA This Cape Cod-style dining room is defined by its classic, clean aesthetic and a focus on natural light. A prominent feature is the six-light brass chandelier, which hangs above the wooden dining table and serves as a sophisticated focal point. The traditional-style chandelier provides both illumination and an elegant touch. The table is paired with a set of classic black Windsor chairs, which offer a sharp contrast to the light-colored walls and the warmth of the hardwood floors, creating a timeless and inviting look. The ceiling features beadboard paneling, which is a classic detail often found in coastal and farmhouse-style homes, and adds texture and character to the space. The room is bathed in natural light from a series of large windows that overlook a lush green yard, creating a connection to the outdoors. French doors, visible on the right, further enhance the open and airy feel, suggesting a seamless flow between the dining room and other areas of the home. The light beige walls and crisp white trim on the windows and doors complete the serene and traditional coastal color palette.

Coastal exterior home idea in Miami

From the front yard, can look into living room, through house, over the pool, to water/inlet behind it. Native Florida limestone runs from the exterior to the interior, and serves as a wonderful accent wall. Since this is a new construction, the architect and Pineapple House designers were about to define the contiguous Living/Dining/Kitchen areas using furniture and custom ceilings.

The Florida residence is a winter home, not a beach house, and the clients requested it (1) not look like typical Florida retreat and (2) be conducive to entertaining. To that end, all the primary living areas are open to each other -- and the outdoors. Daniel Newcomb Photography
