Waterfront Home With Lofted Bedrooms

From: Allison Ramsey Architects

Vaulted ceilings, a wide-open great room and lofted bedrooms make this waterfront home in the Caribbean seem much larger than 1,400-square-feet. Blue artwork and light wood accents add a coastal touch to the interior, while long ladders grant access to the sleeping areas.

To make the interiors feel as big as possible, the great room's ceiling reaches up to the second floor and sets of French doors join the space with the back porch. Ladders lead intriguingly up to two sleeping lofts.
