A waterfront condominium remodel shaped around clarity, storage, circulation, and making the most of an existing envelope.
After completing a successful remodel in the same Shelter Bay condominium complex, we were asked to help rework a second residence for another client.
The brief was simple: create a cleaner, more open, more useful home within the existing footprint.
Closets were relocated to create a more generous primary bath. A banquette-style dining area helped open the main living space for lounging and gathering. Custom built-in casework added storage while improving circulation and supporting the restrained character of the home.
The result is a compact waterfront residence that feels calmer, more organized, and better suited to daily life.
ENTRY
The entry was designed to feel clean, calm, and efficient.
In a compact condominium, arrival matters. Storage, circulation, sightlines, and first impressions all have to work together without making the space feel crowded.
The goal was a quieter entry sequence that supports the rest of the remodel instead of announcing itself too loudly.
GREAT ROOM
The main living area was reworked to feel more open and usable within the existing footprint.
By shifting the dining area into a banquette-style layout, the room gained a more relaxed lounging zone and a clearer relationship between cooking, dining, and daily living.
The design focused on better use, not more space.
GREAT ROOM
KITCHEN / DINING
The kitchen and dining area were planned to support daily use without adding unnecessary complexity.
The banquette layout helped define a dedicated dining moment while allowing the great room to feel more open. Built-in storage and restrained detailing helped keep the space clean, organized, and easy to live in.
Relocating the existing closets created the opportunity for a more generous primary bath within the same overall condominium envelope.
The new layout improved comfort, proportion, storage, and daily function without requiring more square footage.
Good remodels often come down to using the space you already have more intelligently.
BATHROOM 1
BEDROOM 2
The second bedroom was designed with the same restraint as the rest of the remodel.
Clean planning, storage, and simple finishes help the room stay flexible for guests, work, or daily use.
MASTER BEDROOM
The primary bedroom was shaped around calm, storage, and a clearer relationship to the rest of the remodeled home.
In a smaller residence, private rooms need to work hard without feeling overdesigned. The goal was comfort, order, and a more settled daily experience.
