LBI Residence

Location: Long Beach Island, NJ

Size: 3,500 SF

Year: 2021

Project Type: Single-Family Residential Company: Tantillo Architecture

Role: 3D and Interiors

This beach house was a new build for our clients who purchased an ocean front property. While the original plans were inherited from another architect, our client felt we would be better able to meet their needs and bring their vision for their home to life. They wanted to create a seaside-inspired home without being too literal. The wife also creates her own mosaic artwork, and wanted to ensure there was ample space to showcase her work.

I worked mostly on 3D visualization for this project, as well as some kitchen, bar, and millwork design. Our clients responded very well to the 3D model and I was able to update it several times throughout the project to aide their decision making process.

The kitchen design was very important to our client, as many of their family members love to cook. We made sure to double the sinks, ovens, and dish washers as well as provide the largest island possible, in order to give everyone ample room to cook at the same time.

While the main living area of the home is on the third floor, our clients wanted a secondary living space for the younger members of the family to enjoy. Off of the den is a screened in porch that overlooks their pool.

Another must have on our client’s wish list was an outdoor shower. While one shower was provided at ground level for post-beach use, we designed a second off of the master bathroom with a window to the ocean beyond and to the sky.
