The home is elevated 9’ above the grade, both for flood protection and to provide ample height below it for outdoor living areas, on a grid of slender metal columns. Steel bars in radial arrays between the columns provide lateral support, while the density of their pattern is calibrated to collect sand in the manner of a typical sand fence.

With its innovative adaptation of a common structural system, the Walking Dunes residence turns the necessities of coastal building into advantages. It allows the structure to be elevated above the flood threat and to maximize the views, while at the same time creating both useful and pleasant spaces below amidst the landscape. Beyond that, the structure establishes an architectural language for the home that creates unique experiences for the inhabitants.

The columns also support the broad entry stairs and the the beach access stairs to the rear, which include bleacher-like steps on which to gather and admire the coastal views.

The columns support cabinetry, custom lighting details, and delicate tambour screens that, like the braces below, are both decorative and functional dividers of the space.

Custom cabinet pulls designed by Bates Masi + Architects
The grid of columns established on the ground level does not terminate at the floor structure above, as traditional pile construction would, but continues into the primary living spaces as an organizing and aesthetic feature.

Custom dining room light by Bates Masi + Architects
The glass connections between the volumes, set well back from the facades, reduce the perceived size of the home and allow more daylight to reach the outdoor spaces below.
