The small 50 foot wide site is one house removed from the Gulf of Mexico. The design takes advantage of two view corridors through the setbacks of neighboring lots. These views correspond respectively to the direction of the summer and winter sunsets. The two wings of the house are connected by a courtyard. The elevated wing spans over the small yard creating a shaded space between the courtyard and the beach access. An interior and an exterior stair revolve around the small courtyard to lead to the roof terrace. Photos by Bill Speer
