This home was carefully crafted to be a social hub for the retirees’ large extended family and friends. Thoughtfully planned open spaces accommodate multiple groups simultaneously, but the arrangement also affords conversational privacy. The heart of the home is a serving counter centrally placed between dining and kitchen spaces. A playful nautical theme encourages this landlocked vessel’s crew to stay aboard for the fun—both in public spaces such as the second floor bridge deck and in private areas such as powder room and “bunkmate” room.
