Melnick Beach House
This two-story house is half a block from the beach. The client wanted to maximize the view of the ocean from the house and create a flexible entertaining space on the first floor. The existing enclosed porch was opened up, and a deck was built above that is accessible through the master bedroom; a variance was obtained from the town to effect this. Interior walls were removed, and structural beams were hidden in the ceiling of the first floor so that the entire space is open from front to back.
