Hurricane-Proof Home Redesign and Renovation
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
We are seeking a highly skilled and creative architect or designer to assist with the complete renovation and redesign of our elevated, single-level, 2,600 sq. ft. home in Florida. The home sustained significant damage from a hurricane, including roof failure and interior destruction. As part of this renovation, I aim to modernize the entire floor plan to create an open-concept layout optimized for entertaining while incorporating resilient, hurricane-resistant materials and construction techniques.
Key points.
1. House Condition: The house sustained damage from a hurricane.
2. Current Layout:
- It's a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house.
- The master bedroom is on the right side.
- There is a great room with a fireplace.
- The current kitchen layout is awkward, resembling a horseshoe in the middle of the house.
3. Desired Changes:
- Convert the layout to a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom house.
- The second bedroom should have an ensuite bathroom.
- Create a dynamic kitchen with an island that seats six.
- Include a pantry and a laundry room.
- An office is desired but not essential.
4. Structural Considerations:
- The house is elevated, providing access underneath.
- The great room has east-west trusses, while the main home has north-south trusses.
5. Flexibility:
- The only rooms I would not like to move are the master bedroom/bath and great room.
