A second story addition to an existing 1960's ranch style house effectively re-imagines the entire existing house while expanding the program to provide much needed space for the family of five. The existing lower level is opened up in a series of interconnected public spaces while the new upper level contains bedrooms, bathrooms and outdoor courts to take advantage of the beach climate and views.
