How we handled it
Phase one was the 893 sq ft unit: a stone-faced gable, French doors to the pool deck, and a kitchen in navy cabinets with a white waterfall island, finished by late 2024 with interior designer 8a Interiors. Phase two started in April 2025 with an architect from Studio 862: an outdoor bathroom and shower with a pebble floor, CMU storage rooms, a trash enclosure and two pergolas, done in September 2025.
Built with 8a Interiors (interior designer, phase 1) and Studio 862 (architect, phase 2).
