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.

Belize Water Gardens
Hi, We are looking at a fun design project where your imagination can run wild. It is a complete blank slate of land that we will be building an AirBnB resort and personal residence on. At this stage we are looking for design only, we will finalize design specs based on design. The lot size is 68' wide x 118' deep. There is front road access with homes on all other three sides. It is 4 rows from the ocean. We can build up to 3 stories. I have a hand drawn layout based on a previous corner lot that we almost purchased that will have the layout as a starting point. We will have our personal residence at the rear of the property, with a 6 villa building on one side and (side x side, 3 stories high) with each villa about 350 sq ft. and a Welcome canopy/bar that we may grow into a restaurant in a few years. Our residence will be about 1700 sq ft (can be spread out over 2-3 floors depending on space. Can be much smaller if so required as We want to ensure it is guest focused. Setbacks are 10' from front and 5" from side. We are in the early design stages only so will be open to suggestions and modifications.
