Big Beach Builds is a reality show that features a team of contractors and engineers who help transform beach homes into dream beach houses. In season 1 episode 5 titled 'Big Family, Bigger Beach Home,' the show's host, Marnie Oursler, tackles a project that is tailor-made for her team's expertise.
The clients, a family of eight, have purchased a beach home that they hope to turn into a larger beach house for their growing family. The house is located in Bethany Beach, Delaware, with views of the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. The couple has four children and is planning on expanding their family with the addition of twins.
The family's vision is to create an open layout that can accommodate their large family comfortably. They want an inviting space that is kid-friendly, yet sophisticated enough to entertain their guests. The problem is, the original layout of the house is not conducive to their vision, and the space is too small for their growing family.
To fulfill the family's requirements, Marnie and her team must come up with a creative design to expand the living space, knock down walls, and install high-end finishes while keeping the family's budget in mind.
Marnie and her team begin by taking a walk-through tour of the house to get a better understanding of the family's vision for their dream home. She also wants to understand their lifestyle, how they intend to use the space, and if there are any pets in the family. The family owns a dog who is a part of the family and must also be taken into account when constructing.
Together, they come up with a plan that involves knocking down walls to create an open floor plan with an expanded kitchen, dining, and living area. They will also add a front porch to the house to allow for a welcoming space that will accommodate the family and their guests. This front porch is detail-oriented with big adirondack chairs, a beautiful area rug, and many other comfortable designs.
Marnie's team works closely with the family to ensure that the end result meets their expectations while still being within their budget. The family is pleased with the design proposal and is eager to see the construction process begin.
Throughout the episode, the team works tirelessly to transform the cramped house into a spacious home. They knock down walls, install new electrical and plumbing systems, and replace old fixtures and fittings. They also create a space for the family dog that includes a doggy door and an enclosed area.
Despite some challenges that come with the construction, the end result is stunning. When the team unveils the beach house to the family, they are overjoyed to see their dream home come to life. The beach house is now larger, brighter, and can accommodate their growing family with ease. The house now includes a chefs-grade kitchen and ample seating areas, making it an ideal space for family and entertaining. The family's beloved dog now has a space of his own with access to the front deck, making him feel like part of the family.
In summary, Big Beach Builds season 1 episode 5 "Big Family, Bigger Beach Home" takes viewers on a journey of transforming a cramped beach house into a spacious and inviting one for a family of eight.
