Sand on the lot

Built up the lot with sand. Common practice, in the raining season, the lots around us will be under water. in the really heavy season, we'll have water too....

The lot.....

the mangrove reserve behind us got hit with a hurricane a couple of years before. notice the dead wood.

Floor plan for home

-dotted lines are the roof lines (I didn't draw them to go over the sides and should have)
-center island is Bathroom/kitchen area .
-shower is outside on the back deck.
-house is 24ft x 24ft. With crows nest on top (not shown)

-no interior walls. all one open space. I'm thinking 2-3 ceiling fans.
-on walls, between studs, I would like to incorporate books shelves.
