The house is built around use. The waterfront side 
opens up for entertaining, with the bar, pool, and 
cabana naturally pulling people outside. On the 
opposite side, the spaces are more contained and 
flexible, able to expand when needed or stay quiet.
“It’s almost like a hospitality environment,” Graff 
says. “There’s a front of house and a back of house. 
Everything works behind the scenes.” 
For Reeves, the challenge wasn’t complexity. It was 
time.
“We originally estimated that construction would 
take 20 months to complete, but the owner chal-
lenged us to finish it within 15 months,” he says.
From the start, he knew what that meant.
“We can build it fast if we have the right infor-
mation. The design, the approvals, the selections. 
Everything has to be decided,” shares Reeves. “On 
this project, it was.”

既可在需要时延展，也可维持安静独立。 
Graff 说：
“它几乎像一家精品酒店的动

幕后高效运作。” 
对 Reeves 而言，真正的挑战并不是复
杂度，而是时间。 
“我们原本预估需要 20 个月完成建
造，而业主向我们提出挑战：在 15 个月
内完成。” 
从一开始，他就清楚这意味着什么。 
只要信息到位，我们就能建得很快。设
计、审批、选材——所有事情都必须提
前决定。”Reeves 说，
“而这个项目，正
是如此。” 
整个工程需要极高频率的协调。不同工
