A radical remodel of a modest beach bungalow originally built in 1913 and relocated in 1920 to its current location, blocks from the ocean. The exterior of the Bay Street Residence remains true to form, preserving its inherent street presence. The interior has been fully renovated to create a streamline connection between each interior space and the rear yard. A 2-story rear addition provides a master suite and deck above while simultaneously creating a unique space below that serves as a terraced indoor dining and living area open to the outdoors.

A bubbling boulder water feature murmurs soothing sounds. Where once this was an inhospitable desert, the garden now it has a multitude of tranquil destinations to enjoy, serenaded by the calls of birds that have made their home there.

Designer Lisa Mende was inspired by Holly Golighty for this “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” bathroom. “It’s about taking a bit of mid-century chic—with the lighting and the atmosphere—and combining it with classic, high-society elements. I’m striving for a unique, eclectic mode: chic and sophisticated but with a little whimsy mixed in, reminiscent of Holly Golightly herself.

We LOVE to add a bit of creativity to each one of our projects for added interest and artistry. We consider something like this flagstone landing to emulate a "welcome mat".
