Behind the Build: with Holliday Architects and AlisonPaul Builders
The Heart of the Home: The Kitchen
Picture this: a kitchen that wraps around with built-in dining buffet, dual islands—one for cooking, one for guests—all strategically positioned to maximize those breathtaking ocean views. Scott's vision? To create a space that not only dazzles but invites the outside in. Those ceilings? They're not just ceilings; they're conduits for light and air, making this third-floor kitchen feel open, airy, and oh-so-inviting.
Bridging Design to Reality: The Art of Construction
Alright, now that we've seen Scott's vision, let's chat with Ralph from Allison Paul Builders, who's turning dreams into reality. It all starts with Scott's wish list—a blueprint for the perfect coastal abode. But it doesn't end there. Ralph's team steps in, fine-tuning every detail—from kitchen islands to window trims—to ensure every angle maximizes the view.
The Finishing Touches: Window Trim and Customization
Speaking of window trims, Ralph dives into the nitty-gritty of customization. It's not just about aesthetics; it's about harmonizing form and function. From mock-ups to final finishes, every detail is meticulously crafted to blend seamlessly with Scott's design and the homeowner's vision.
