Beach and Coastal House Plans

Borrowing design elements from Spanish, Mediterranean and even Victorian style home plans, beach or coastal house plans are built on piers or stilts shielding the home from flooding, tropical storms or hurricanes. Many beach or coastal home plans are built on narrow lots due to the high price of coastal real estate. However, many of these homes feature panoramic windows and plenty of outdoor living space for enjoying waterfront views as well as including on the interior casual, open living areas. Exterior materials may vary, but these homes should be able to withstand salty, damp air.
