Office

"The idea is to expand the house into the landscape," architect Randy Johnson notes. "By pushing the summer kitchen and office away from the house, it gives you the vantage point of being able to see the house and still see the bay. Because Florida is so level, with a little elevation you can see forever, so the view from the office is phenomenal."

"The house is wonderful in the way it functions," says Johnson. "The kids have their own space--which is separate from the house, above the garage. The office serves as a getaway, as well. And if you have a few people over for the weekend, if they stay up here, the setting will absolutely blow them away."
