Description:
Designing my dream retirement home and looking for creative inspiration! I am in the very beginning phases of my home design and would like to work with someone who can help me with the floor plan layout. Final architectural plan not needed - just seeking ideas to help turn my dream into a reality. I want to take advantage of water views and light for this waterfront home facing the sunrise. Because of potential flooding, home will need to be built on pilings.

We are very early on in the design phase and won't be ready to build for a few years. I'm looking for schematic design - arrangement of space, room adjacencies, elevations, and floor plans so that I have something better to express my desires to a future builder.

Here is a link to the Plat: arcgisweb.carteretcountync.gov/PropertyRecordCard/PropertyDetails.aspx
Wants:
Here are the features I want in my home:

Open/airy floor plan with 3 levels

Elevator to all 3 levels

First level for closed storage space - no open areas under house (maybe even parking?) of kayaks, water toys, and more. Should also include a mud room area with built in lockers for 8 and a dog wash area.

Second level is main living area with master bedroom, master bathroom, large walk-in closet or a his/her walk-in closet combo; open great room/dining (room for 8-10 people)/gourmet kitchen with breakfast bar and large walk-in pantry plus appliance storage in cabinets, and breakfast nook with lots of windows looking out to the water; study/office area; exercise area large enough for a treadmill, elliptical, small weights and yoga; laundry room, 1/2 bath.

Third level is guest area with 3 Bedrooms/3 Bathrooms and a large loft area with space for entertainment (game room/media room) and bunk beds.

Also want a 3 1/2 car garage (could be a separate building) with an in-law apartment above (1 Bedroom, 1 BA, Basic Kitchen)

Bahamian Architecture or Cottage/Beach/Country style

Outdoor area with pool (needs to be built above ground with a deck) and fire pit area.

Size 2,500-3,500 square feet (not include garage/in-law suite)

I would love to see your designs!

I&;m ready to design. You need information with houses that you like, and to communicate more specifically. I also need the location of the construction site on google maps (I will take the relief and the environment from this information). First I would sketch the plans, then sketch the plans. after that I processed the information better and would provide you with a draft design. I&;m waiting for feedback.

Hello, I am a Florida based architect and have a lot of experience in Bahamian and FEMA flood plan houses and I found your listing and your property and the lot dimensions and whatnot and I am working on a presentation. Just wanted to put that out there.

Improve upon our floor plan and hardscape design for a 4,500 sqft waterfront home
We have a plot of canal front land in the Cayman Islands. Looking to build a home on it soon, so considering floor plans. I attach a floorplan of our current ideas to give an idea of what we're thinking. I'm sure it can be improved upon, and we can make more of the space. Also attached is a brochure of the land to give an idea of the area. Ours is plot 17, so you can see the dimensions and orientation of the land. I'd like to keep the total floor size (for the house, garage and apartment on top) to approx 4,500 sq ft
