Waterfront Mediterranean Style Home
3581 Courtside Circle, Huntington Beach, California
This new waterfront two-story single family dwelling located in the Coral Cays Community will have 5854 square feet of living space with an attached 621 square foot three-car garage. Coral Cay homes are located in the Northwest Huntington Beach area of Huntington Beach, California. This home was designed by Jim Caldwell of Harbour Bay Homes Development. Jim Caldwell is a fourth generation California born developer and has built over 40 waterfront homes in Newport and Huntington Harbor as well as Naples Island in Long beach.
My office provided design and drafting services for Mr. Caldwell. We took Mr. Caldwell’s hand sketched drawings and created preliminary design drawings of the floor plans and elevations. These drawings were submitted to the homeowners association first and then we submitted to the California Coastal Commission for their approval before moving into the working drawings phase of the project.
This home features 5 bedrooms and 3-1/2 bathrooms. The entry foyer is an open rotunda to the second floor above with a curved staircase. To the right of the entry foyer is the Doctor’s office which has a view from the front of the house all the way through to the back of house which sits on the water in beautiful Huntington Harbor, California.
The view above is from the Entry Foyer looking through the house out to water beyond.

My long time friend Keith Eldridge is the framing contractor for this project.

Custom Contemporary Style Home – The Construction Phase
3512 Marcus Avenue, Newport Beach, California
This new three-story single family dwelling will have 2662 square feet of living space with an attached 473 square foot two-car garage. As you walk in through the front door you will be greeted by a water wall feature extending from down from the second floor to the first floor. The water will cascade down a sheet of glass offset 3″ from a stoned wall that separates the kitchen from the main entry. The stairs serving the dwelling are directly to your right as you enter the house. The stair case will be a “Floating” set of stairs extending from the first floor up to the third floor. The only structural supports will be in the floor system and the exterior wall of the dwelling. Too your left is the great room with a bi-folding glass door system that opens out to a 270 square foot Lanai with an outdoor fireplace. As you continue out through the Lanai, you step down to the rear yard area with the River Alto and private boat dock beyond the seawall.
As you walk up the stairs to the second floor you are now in the Media / Family Room area. Too your right is a bedroom with a retreat area and it’s own private bathroom as well as a balcony facing toward the Pacific Ocean. On the canal side of the property are two master suites each with their own master bathrooms. This was a design element required by Mrs. Cruse.
The third floor has a bonus room with a powder bathroom and 700 square foot roof deck with views of the surrounding area.
After Tight Quarters, Inc. finished compacting and grading the site all at the direction of our Soils Engineer David Worthington of EGA, the general contractor and his crew then began constructed the foundation forms for the footings and erection pads for the steel moment frames.
After receiving a blessing from Randy Nelson our field inspector, the concrete is poured for the erection pads. Bill Jarrold and his crew then installed all of the steel moment frames.
The rebar for the concrete slab floors is installed next and after receivng approvals from the field inspector the slab is poured.
