Ocean’s Edge
Come behind the scenes of this stunning coastal retreat that perfectly embodied our clients' vision. The home boasts distinctive architectural flair, seamlessly blending modern design with its beachside setting.
The vision of a coastal haven
Our clients acquired a breathtaking oceanfront lot and dreamed of building a modern coastal retreat that would perfectly capture its stunning setting. They envisioned a home with architectural dimensions that harmonized with the expansive ocean views and provided ample space for entertaining.
The goal was to create a contemporary yet inviting environment where they could host family and friends in style. The challenge was to design a residence that balanced modern elegance with coastal charm, ensuring that the architecture enhanced both the functionality and beauty of the seaside location.
Before
The Process
Bringing the coastal vision to life
To turn our clients' dream of a modern coastal retreat into reality, we followed a detailed and collaborative process. We engaged Chris Pattey from Becker and Morgan as our architect, whose expertise was crucial in designing a home that matched the clients' vision and the unique demands of the oceanfront lot.
Our approach included regular weekly calls to keep the project on track, supplemented by timely text updates to address any immediate concerns or questions. We also held comprehensive selections meetings to choose the materials and finishes that would bring the design to life. This structured yet flexible process ensured that every aspect of the project was carefully managed and aligned with the clients’ expectations.
The REsult
A coastal masterpiece realized
The outcome was a stunning coastal retreat that perfectly embodied our clients' vision. The home now boasts distinctive architectural flair, seamlessly blending modern design with its beachside setting.
The architecture allows for a natural flow from the interior to the beach, creating an inviting space that enhances the coastal experience. The residence serves as a private sanctuary for the owners, offering a serene escape while showcasing striking modern elements like crisp white siding and sleek black windows.
This project not only fulfilled the client's dreams but elevated their coastal living experience to new heights.
Client testimonial
“If you’re building at the beach you better have faith and trust in your builder. Miken is the only one I’d ever choose.”
“Three years ago Joanne and I bought a quaint oceanfront cottage in the Sussex Shores neighborhood. A renovation was started with good intentions until we discovered there was absolutely nothing worth saving.
From the very first meeting with Mike Cummings and his team, it was apparent they knew their stuff. Team Miken was fully prepared and presented with their in-house experts. They walked us through not only the process but the complications of building in the most destructive environment on the east coast…
Miken never over promised or under delivered during the entire project. The attention to detail, quality of workmanship and commitment to communication was top shelf. Building at the beach can be complicated, show and expensive. Miken took the stress away and made it fun. Our finished product is a stunning dream come true.”
