Reverse Living
One of the best things about living at the beach, especially on the picturesque Long Beach Island, is the stunning view! By reversing the floorplan of your home to design the main living areas such as your kitchen and living room on the upper level of your home instead of the ground floor allows you to capture a nearly unobstructed panoramic view from every area of your home. A reverse floorplan invites natural light into your home with windows and glass doors placed to maximize your views. In a reverse floorplan, the ground level is typically reserved for a garage and sometimes a bonus space for storage or outdoor features. The bedrooms are located on the upper level, giving you an even better vantage point to wake up to the best view. Junior suites for teenagers who need a space of their own or guests you plan to host in the future are an excellent addition that reverse floorplans account for, so everyone has their space to relax and rest up after a great day at the beach.
Speaking of the beach, it’s about time we discussed LBI’s must have outdoor features…
Beach-Goers Outdoor Must Haves
After some fun in the sun and sand, heading home can be difficult, but our favorite outdoor features for custom homes makes sure the fun times don’t have to end so soon! Outdoor living takes on new meaning on LBI because it’s essentially a way of life. Our designs incorporate all the comforts of indoor living with the rejuvenating benefits of the outdoors. From outdoor kitchens meant for gathering friends and family for summertime memories to making s’mores around a cozy firepit, our homeowners enjoy all the perks of living in paradise.
Don’t worry about the sand from the beach tracking into your home either, because we have a solution for that too! A big part of being a Long Beach Island builder is helping our clients experience the greatest aspects of LBI without having to think about it. So, while outdoor kitchens and living spaces may be at the forefront of every homeowner’s wish list, we also want to take the time to talk about outdoor showers and foot washes! No more sandy footprints leading to the bathrooms or a messy clean up for little ones or furry family members thanks to a totally private option for an outdoor shower. Wash away the relaxation of the beach without the stress of sand making a mess in your home!
