Rising from the footprint of a Hurricane Sandy destroyed 1920s bungalow, this three-story Monmouth Beach home is a resilient, modern reinterpretation of the coastal dwelling. It recontextualizes the historic scale of its neighbors through a 3-story volume that maximizes both Atlantic and river views, using a, "Schindler-inspired" tectonic sensibility to create an open light-filled and vertical living experience.

Key Architectural Features:

• Volumetric Organization: A dramatic, triple-height central volume acts as the organizing core of the home, connecting upper levels to a light-filled living area via a viewing bridge.
• Indoor-Outdoor Continuity: The design prioritizes panoramic water views, utilizing an extensive terrace allocation and a top-floor music conservatory to visually merge living spaces with the ocean landscape.
• Materiality and Filigree: A minimalist stucco facade is punctuated by horizontal teak infill, creating refined, filigreed screened areas that offer privacy while maintaining ocean breezes.
• Contextual Modernism: While firmly modern, the house respects the 2 - 3 story context of Monmouth Beach, offering a robust, elevated, and luminous alternative to traditional "Queen Anne" shore architecture.
