MALABOO, a newly constructed beach front residence, has been recognized as a finalist by Cottages and Gardens for Innovation In Design 2023. Design submissions were judged by an exclusive panel of industry influencers. Chris Arelt states "I am truly excited and thankful to be amongst these distinguished finalists. This particular project is one of our favorites based on the beach front location, vibrant aesthetic and innovative features. We look forward to the award gala and appreciate the support of the design community and our clients for recognizing Nautilus Architects."MALABOO:Waterfront design often involves specialized construction practices. Such was the case at this beachfront second home, which is elevated on concrete piers to sit above the flood plain, supported by helical stainless -steel piles drilled through sand to reach bedrock, and moment-framed in steel to resist the lateral forces of hurricane winds.
