"We wanted to have concurrent themes of living going on at
the same time, under one roof," points out Davis. And on top,
too. A heartbeat of the property is the spacious rooftop deck—a
top-of-the world space equipped with TV and soft lighting that
adds approximately 575 square feet of additional living space
to the home, and serves as its unofficial fourth level. "No matter
what's going on in the house, it's a destination unto itself," says
Davis of the tucked-away deck where you can gather for sunset,
party with friends or gaze solo at the stars.
By contrast, the first floor is home to a beachside patio where
wafting tall grasses and a peaceful water feature create a cocoon-
like feeling amid the openness of the walk street, not unlike
being settled in the dunes. "This is the main place of interac-
tion with the community," points out Forbes. "Walk streets are
so communal and friendly, and here you get to interact with your
neighbors." There's an earthy elegance here, highlighted by a
blazing central fire feature and slate-hued porcelain tile. ("It has
the illusion of being concrete," says Barone of this material.)
