Riverfront House in Virginia Beach, Virginia

Jim and Leslie spear-headed the design of this Palm Springs modern style home with Cox, Kliewer & Company. This house was not built however, as the owner found another waterfront lot on which to built a fine tuned version of this house.

This 8,000 square foot residence was designed for a waterfront lot near the Cavalier Yacht Club in Virginia Beach. Located on an one and half acre lot, this two-story house includes a private master suite, private office, a guest suite, media room, exercise room, wine cellar, spacious two story living room, and a 6-car garage outfitted with hydraulic lifts. Balconies and a shaded roof garden provide spectacular views of the water.

Located on Scarboroughs Neck Road in Belle Haven, Virginia, this was an extensive renovation and addition to an existing 1,780 square foot single-family residence. The new addition added 2,680 square feet to the house. The ground level included an additional two-car garage and an elevator. The upper level addition included a generously sized great room, a master suite, a large screened porch and front and back decks. The third floor provided enough space for two additional bedrooms and a shared bath.

East Beach Cottages

In association with Cox, Kliewer & Company Architects, Jim and Leslie were in charge of the design and construction documents for these seven cottages located in the East Beach development in Norfolk, Virginia.

These cottages were designed for and built by J.M. Sykes Construction beginning in 2003.

Each cottage is three stories and measures approximately 1,300 square feet including a one-car garage.

Designed along Maiden Park in the center of East Beach, these cottages were designed with other successful historic communities in mind such as Charleston, Savannah, Edenton and Annapolis.

Built with quality and efficiency in mind, all of the cottages overlook the park by means of large windows and open balconies.

Located one block from the beaches of the Chesapeake Bay, these cottages reflect the character and spirit of the East Beach community.
