As a completed project, this home “checks all the boxes”. It satisfies all of the design and structural challenges, while boasting a soft contemporary exterior that will age well over the years. The home was constructed through a period of incredible uncertainty—during the days of early covid, when manpower was limited to one truck per site per day—yet the result is impeccable. Although though those difficult days seem so long ago, new eras bring new problems—as builders now are tasked to complete homes with a new set of challenges: runaway inflation and supply chain shortages and delays. Without a doubt in the near future, there will be stories of these present-day homes being constructed despite their challenges as well. But if there’s one thing we all know, it is that the people of LBI are a very resilient lot.
