The original home at 7210 West Oceanfront was a classic 3-bedroom, 2-bath coastal residence — simple, functional, and typical of its time. But this location called for something greater. As demolition began, the vision for what would rise in its place took center stage: a ground-up architectural statement built to exceed modern standards of design, engineering, and luxury. While the former home held its place in the sand, what replaces it is a once-in-a-generation transformation — created to endure, inspire, and elevate the experience of oceanfront living.
Building below sea level just steps from the sand required nothing short of precision and innovation. The subterranean garage at 7210 West Oceanfront was constructed using a secant pile system — a method typically reserved for commercial-scale projects — to safely support the home while excavating beneath the water table. With over 1,000 yards of concrete poured (compared to just 37.5 yards for an average home of this size), and multiple layers of waterproofing, the structure was engineered to withstand both pressure and time. A custom car elevator lowers vehicles into the secure, climate-controlled space, allowing for discreet storage of up to five cars beneath the residence.
a foam template is placed around the perimeter of the property where the concrete piles are to be drilled and filled.
The concrete piles are completed around the perimeter of the property. Excavation starts to remove the sand from inside the box.
The walls are shot with concrete and the floor is being prepped with rock and almost ready for the 1st layer of the floor pour.
With the subterranean garage box in place, the next challenge was creating a foundation that would serve two purposes: the structural lid for the basement and the base for the home above. This required an intricate concrete forming system, designed to support massive loads while shaping the interior walls with precision. Once complete, the top slab was poured — locking in over 1,000 yards of concrete beneath and setting the stage for the rest of the home to rise.
