BUILDERS:
Adam and Ben Copenhaver COPEGRAND HOMES
How did your early involvement impact this project? From initial sketches to formal designs, building plans, and approvals, we resurrected this once-dilapidated beach house into a contemporary coastal chateau. We face every challenge and rename it as an opportunity. This project had its unique complexities in poor condition, termites, and all. Our team is well versed in building codes, so we were able to create unique solutions that conform to all current standards of approval to ensure a smooth process from start to finish.
What were the homeowner’s goals? They wanted this renovation to demonstrate quality and creativity. We also had to consider what materials would make this a legacy home for generations. Materials and products that resist corrosion and environmental pressures like heat and humidity are as much of a priority as choosing low-maintenance products.
How do you manage your projects for success? From the preconstruction phases of the build down to our project managers, our professionalism separates our operation. Every member of the CopeGrand team is passionate about doing their best work, and we bring that energy to every job from start to finish. With clear communication, plans, execution, and willingness to pivot as necessary, we’re always ready for unique requests. We are proud of our responsiveness and willingness to coordinate the outcome of any revision.
What customizations are you most proud of? In the main living space, the diamond pattern coffered ceiling was designed and built to integrate the open floorplan with the detail of the custom walnut cabinetry in the kitchen. Polished, high-gloss finishes refract natural light throughout the day and the tuck (the space below the stairs) creates a fun moment for hosting and makes excellent use of otherwise unused space.
