A Christensen waterfront custom home with multi-level decks and a private boat dock
Our Work

Inspired by
the coast.

Every home we build belongs to a place: the water it looks out on, the light it catches, the weather it has to stand. Here is a selection of that work.

Ports O'Call

A canal-front home built to be lived in from the outside in. Covered decks run the length of the water side, a private dock sits on the canal, and a resort-style pool anchors the deck between them. Inside, light oak, white marble and brass keep the palette calm so the water stays the focus.

Chula Vista

Classic coastal architecture done properly: white architectural siding, standing-seam metal roofs and stacked porches on all three levels. Inside, coffered ceilings, shiplap and a blue-and-stone kitchen island keep it warm, while deep blue accents tie it back to the water a street away.

Point Tesoro

A multi-story canal-front home designed for a family that wanted every room to see water. Deep Ocean cabinetry runs through the kitchen and bar, an interior elevator connects all levels, and custom tile, trim and built-in bunk rooms carry the detail right through to the top floor.

Lamar Park

Proof that a remodel can be braver than a new build. A saturated blue island and a black-and-white patterned floor anchor the kitchen; sea-glass tile, botanical wallpaper and a freestanding stone tub carry the same confidence through the baths. The bones are original. Everything you see is not.
