A BEACH getaway needs
outdoor living spaces, so Humphrey
transformed an area previously occu-pied
by air conditioning units into
a breezy below-deck space. Hours
spent at the ocean were anticipated
with an outdoor shower to wash off
sand and salt, and an outside stair-way
giving wet guests direct access to
bedrooms.
“For me, the design is a great
example of Bryan coming back and
saying for these reasons it’s impracti-cal
and impossible because you have
to have a landing, etc. But here’s
what we can do instead,” Morrison
says. “Bryan always provided options,
not what I asked for but solutions
that satisfied more than what I
wanted.”
While her California renovation
spanned a total of 24 months, the
Wrightsville house was transformed
in a little under eight, just in time for
the family to enjoy summer vacation
season.
“I was really pleased with how it
turned out,” Morrison says. “I just
love it. I’m very happy with it.”
