Revitalizing a Coastal Retreat
UG Group (formerly 2WR+Partners) led the Beach House Renovation in Mary Esther, Florida, blending modern upgrades with coastal charm. Our team preserved the home’s character while enhancing functionality, creating a seamless transition from daily life to beachfront relaxation. The project redefined entryways, outdoor areas, and interior finishes for a refreshed, contemporary feel. Thoughtful design choices improved flow, maximized natural light, and reinforced the home’s connection to its scenic surroundings.
Enhanced Entry & Flow
A key focus of this House Renovation was improving the transition from the driveway to the beach. UG Group introduced:
- Site walls and lighting to guide movement.
- Hardscaping for a defined pathway.
- A redesigned entryway that visually connects public and private spaces.
The result is a transparent, inviting front door framed by solid architectural elements. As guests step inside, they are immediately drawn toward the outdoor terrace, where stunning water views create a serene atmosphere. This thoughtful transition enhances the sense of arrival and relaxation, setting the tone for an effortless coastal lifestyle.
Modern Upgrades & Finishes
The House Renovation balanced style and function by incorporating:
- Updated bathrooms with contemporary fixtures for a spa-like experience.
- New windows and sliding doors to bring in more natural light and frame the scenic surroundings.
- A refined mix of glass and stucco, maintaining architectural integrity while modernizing the façade.
- Elegant flooring and finishes to complement the home’s coastal aesthetic.
These thoughtful updates not only improve aesthetics but also enhance energy efficiency and durability, ensuring long-term comfort and value. The cohesive blend of natural textures and modern elements creates a timeless yet contemporary ambiance.
Outdoor Enhancements
To maximize waterfront living, UG Group redesigned the south-facing outdoor space, adding:
- New hardscaping for durability and visual appeal.
- Strategic lighting to highlight pathways and architectural features.
- A site wall leading to the water, strengthening the connection between home and nature.
- Expanded gathering areas to encourage socializing and relaxation.
Additionally, the outdoor room offers a perfect space for entertaining, with seamless indoor-outdoor flow that enhances the home’s livability. Whether relaxing with a cocktail or enjoying the sunset from the dock, every detail was designed to elevate the coastal lifestyle.
Through innovative design and strategic enhancements, UG Group delivered a House Renovation that modernizes and enhances the beachfront experience while preserving its timeless charm.
