Model 03 · Conch-style coastal

Key West.

A two-story conch-style coastal in 520 square feet, with the main living on the ground floor and a sleeping loft upstairs under a metal roof that handles the salt air without complaint. Designed for a 40-foot lot, a smaller budget, and a Florida life that does not need 1,000 square feet to feel generous.

Layout

Primary on the main, porches on both levels.

Key West is a compact two-story home designed for a smaller lot, 30 feet of frontage is enough. The main floor holds the kitchen, a 14-foot great room, a full bath, and an 8-foot-deep covered front porch that doubles as outdoor living space nine months of the year. The second floor is the sleeping loft with room for a queen bed, a small reading nook, and a private balcony.

The garage is detached, set behind the house, so the front elevation reads as a home and not a garage door.

Materials

The Key West material package.

Lap siding, a 5V crimp metal roof, painted finishes, and cypress details. The Key West palette is the most traditional of the three starting models, built for a coastal lot, sized for a smaller budget, and chosen for the way it ages in the salt air.

  • 01 Exterior Lap siding in a painted cypress or Hardie finish, a 5V crimp metal roof in a dark bronze, and a tongue-and-groove cypress ceiling on the front porch. Detached single- or two-car garage.
  • 02 Flooring 5" white oak engineered hardwood on the main floor, porcelain wood-look tile in the kitchen and bath, and carpet in the sleeping loft (upgrade to hardwood available).
  • 03 Kitchen Inset shaker cabinetry in a painted finish, quartz counters, a 24" gas range, a panel-ready dishwasher, and a cast-iron farmhouse sink.
  • 04 Windows & doors Impact-rated single-hung windows with divided-light grilles on the front elevation, an insulated fiberglass entry door, and 8-foot interior doors on the main floor.
  • 05 Baths Subway tile in the bath, a marble-look porcelain on the floor, Kohler or Delta fixtures in a polished chrome or matte black finish, and a tile shower with a glass enclosure.
  • 06 Climate & resilience 15 SEER variable-speed HVAC with a single zone, a 50-gallon heat-pump water heater, hurricane strapping to current Florida code, and impact glazing on all exterior openings.

Customize

Adapt Key West to your lot.

Key West is the most flexible of the three starting models. It works on a 50-foot-wide lot, it works on the coast, it works inland, and it works as a second home. The customizations below are the most common.

Option 01

Sleeping loft upgrade

Add a dormer to the sleeping loft, raising the ceiling height and adding a small standing-height nook. Adds roughly 60 square feet and turns the loft into a true bedroom with a closet. Useful for short-term rental flexibility.

Option 02

Outdoor shower

A covered outdoor shower off the back door, finished in the same tile as the indoor bath. Standard in coastal builds and required by some Keys-adjacent counties. Adds a private, salt-rinse space without expanding the conditioned footprint.

Option 03

Smart home package

Add the Tier 01 Connected smart home package, structured wiring, managed network, hard-wired access points, and a single media rack. Scaled to a Key West, not a Marco.
