They aren’t selling, but if they did, I think we can say it added a similar value for the right buyer.

A lot to like there but swing and a miss for me. I’d make first bedroom smaller, make one bath bigger with the other a powder room and use that extra space for a great room that had common sitting area plus a small workstation instead of just a big kitchen. Also add out door BBQ island. Then it would-be perfect. Still a beautiful job but doesn’t check my boxes
Judging by the design, I think there was a conscious effort to create the living area outside. Ingenious when there is a limit on the actual square footage built.

Very nice if pricey. To be fair a lot of the $400/sf went to outside living areas. Love the glass bridge kitchen. I personally don’t mind the big “accessory” bedroom because it lends massive versatility. Clearly a little shade landscaping and pergola or awning will be in the near future. Sweet porch railing. Softens the stark b/w of the exterior. I’d have gone welded rail and tension cable myself along with earthier colors taupe and dark brown on the building. Are the sliders triple tracked for full retraction? That would be awesome. “High ceilings” are nice but these appear more a “statement” than a practical design decision. Cutting 2 feet and 15 degrees of roof pitch over the master would have been more balanced.

That’s so awesome …but if I did that my kids would never leave home. That’s a good price per sq foot but may be more for doing this on older homes depending on the gas/electrical/foundation issues. Good job!

The larger “bedroom” is actually a big home office/music studio, only temporarily serving as a kids bedroom. The huge size does indeed lend itself to a lot of versatility. High ceilings were chosen for acoustic properties. And yes, the kitchen sliders are triple stacked for full retraction!

Anon, you clearly have some hand in the project. Please don’t take my comments as anything but differing positions and poking the dragon.

I suspected something like that especially since there were large blank walls that might normally have windows or doors or built ins.

Makes more sense now.

So cool and if I had caught the 0.4 sec video flash when JtR swept across the tracks I wouldn’t look so stupid.
Did you precast electrical and natgas to the patios for expanded outdoor living?
Did you pre-stress hard points on the roofs for panels?
Did you … never mind… I’m just being a nudge.

Agree will everyone. Dealing with limited space requires tailoring to one’s exact needs. Im sure that’s what they did and like I said. There’s a lot to like there. Beautiful design work
Roughly how much was the budget for that?
The ground is sandy there so they had to go down 6 feet with the foundation, which added substantial cost. It pushed it to $400/sf.
