    “A modern, sleek beach house" was the mandate for this family get away. Within a prescribed building envelope Berg Design, created interlocking interior and exterior spaces to provide seamless connections to the landscape. Designed for a couple whose house was devastated by hurricane Sandy, the client insisted that this dwelling be low maintenance and a hearty bulwark against the elements. Berg Design raised the house to FEMA flood zone standards, and located all mechanical equipment above the first floor. Extensive building science analysis resulted in the building being clad in a rain screen system of fiber cement panels and cedar siding. Bedrooms with private outdoor spaces are arrayed around a double height living room. A 6 panel sliding door system allows for indoor outdoor flow to the above ground swimming pool.
