This striking Alys Beach property blends modern coastal elegance with the inviting warmth of custom wood accents.
E. F. San Juan collaborated with architect Gary Justiss and the talented team at Alys Beach Construction to bring this charming beach home to life. We worked with our trusted partner, Loewen, to provide premium windows and doors. Our team supplied finely crafted interior and exterior trim, along with ceiling panels and wood-cased openings. Additionally, we provided Ipe (pronounced ee-pay) decking. Ipe is an exceptionally strong, moisture-resistant hardwood ideal for the Gulf Coast’s humid coastal climate.
The result is a contemporary coastal home that pairs sleek, modern lines with custom wood elements, such as detailed casings and ceiling design, inspiring a space of warmth and inimitable character.
CHALLENGES
Working within a limited architectural footprint presented design and construction challenges due to the size of the lot. Additionally, the unique wood accents had to complement the overall townscape of Alys Beach and the surrounding homes, adding another layer of consideration to the design process. Furthermore, the coastal environment demanded careful selection, as the materials we used must be designed to withstand high humidity, strong winds, and the occasional tropical storm, all without compromising the overall aesthetic appeal.
SOLUTIONS
With decades of experience in coastal and new urbanist construction, the E. F. San Juan team identified the best performance material for this project. We worked closely with the architect and builder to ensure every element was a flawless fit, both visually and structurally. Loewen’s impact-rated glass windows and doors provided enhanced storm protection, while our expert woodworking and material selection ensured that every detail stood up beautifully to the coastal elements.
