Stepping inside, and there’s a hallway lined with wood closets that leads to the new extension, and a skylight adds natural light to the interior.

In the living room area, a double-height ceiling creates an open feeling, while a large exposed concrete wall continues from the interior to the exterior of the home.

On the side of the extension, there’s an outdoor shower for washing off after going to the beach. From this location, you can also see where the original house and the new extension connect.
