In this series of images, we reveal the remarkable transformation of our clients’ waterfront home—a dream retreat for recent retirees and passionate boaters who prioritized finding their perfect location by the water. While the builder-grade house offered promising potential, it needed thoughtful updates to reflect the owners’ lifestyle.
Their primary concern was an impractical kitchen layout that didn’t meet their needs. We expanded this area to accommodate a generous island and a full wall of storage, enhancing both the functionality and flow of the space. We also made use of an awkward, previously unused corner by creating a custom bar, complete with stylish storage and a beautiful display for their crystal barware. To further personalize their home, we proudly highlighted their Greek heritage by designing a dedicated feature wall for their cherished iconography, presenting it in a dynamic and modern context.
The result is an elevated coastal haven that seamlessly blends personal culture, improved functionality, and stunning waterfront views—a truly inviting space for relaxed retirement living.
“The Structure Interior Design team transformed our beautiful but plain builder-grade house into an absolute dream home for us. As new residents to the Tampa area, we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Rodney, Luis and team as they executed their full-service design process to transform our new home – a complete re-do of our entry, living room, family room and a fabulous new kitchen. We can hardly believe that it is the same house we purchased! The Structure team wove so many thoughtful touches into the final design, truly making it a home that truly felt like ours. The final the result is an elegant, sophisticated, comfortable home with a modern, elevated – and delicious – design. We feel as though we have gained new family members in Rodney and Luis and can’t wait to work on additional design projects with them in the future.”
