Gulf Shores Beach House

scroll View Project Description
  • Rendering of a kitchen with wood cabinets, marble island counter, and wood plank walls.
  • Rendering of a nautical-themed bunk room.
  • Rendering of a breakfast nook with a staircase wrapping around it.
  • Nighttime rendering of a beach house with the ocean in the background.

Project Details

Located along the white sand beaches of Gulf Shores, AL, this new four-story, nine-bedroom house allows for a multitude of families and friends to gather and vacation in paradise. With the vast backdrop of the Gulf of Mexico serving as design inspiration, the home takes full advantage of its expansive ocean views and allows visitors a view of the water from everywhere in the house.

Long, shared verandas and large windows ensure that one never feels far from the beach. The exterior façade shifts in plane to shield the balconies from the western sun providing shade on long summer days. Warm finishes on the interior create a sense of shelter and comfort. A playful nautical bunkroom guarantees that no matter the age, friends and family will be at one with the Gulf.
