Transforming a Beach House into a Modern Coastal Retreat

Padaro Lane Beachfront transformed an outdated 4,000-square-foot beach house into a warm contemporary luxury home designed to embrace its spectacular oceanfront setting. Working within the existing U-shaped footprint, the renovation focused on opening the main living spaces and central pool courtyard to the beach through strategically placed NanaWall systems.

  • 9-panel HSW60 system with two 90° corners opening the main living room completely to the ocean.
  • 5-panel bifold system connecting the main living area to the protected pool courtyard.
  • 3-panel automated CERO system extending the dining room to the oceanfront patio, firepit, and barbecue area.
  • 2-panel pocketing CERO system in the primary bedroom maximizing views while preserving wall space for furnishings and art.

Engineered for Cornerless Openings and Seamless Living

Although the renovation remained largely within the original footprint, integrating multiple large opening glass walls required significant structural engineering and precise coordination throughout construction.

  • Structural steel supports enabled a cornerless HSW60 opening with no corner posts and a concealed parking bay for the panels.
  • The bifold system connected the protected pool courtyard to the main living area and ocean beyond.
  • The automated CERO system expanded the dining room into the outdoor entertaining space.
  • The pocketing CERO system increased usable wall space in the primary suite while preserving unobstructed ocean views.

Integrating the expansive opening glass walls required meticulous structural coordination. The team preserved the existing vaulted roof while incorporating complex steel supports and a radiant floor heating system that raised finished floor elevations by approximately three inches. Every dimension—from floor to ceiling and track placement—had to be executed with exceptional precision to achieve seamless, flush transitions and ensure flawless operation of the NanaWall systems.

“There was zero room for error on the dimensions between finished floor and finished ceiling, including the NanaWall track systems and associated structural steel placements.”

Mulberry Point House

The architect’s ambition for this home was not simply to frame the view but to become one with the landscape. The NanaWall system achieved this in one elegant and dramatic gesture.

“Although we always pictured those floor-to-ceiling windows, we weren’t 100 percent convinced of how it would be executed until NanaWall was introduced to the equation,” says the homeowner. “We can’t imagine our dream home without it now!”
