Bay Front Retrofit


Bayfront Retrofit

MyGreenBuildings has completed putting the finishing touches on an extensive retrofit and remodel of this bayfront home. From rendering to reality took just three months. An older, non-performing structure was transformed into a true "high-performance" home.

MyGreenBuildings was contracted to complete a high-performance retrofit and facelift of the Venice bayfront home of Dr. Gary and Carmella Wright. Among the many structural and performance upgrades completed during the project were:

  • strapping the roof structure and walls to the concrete foundation
  • insulation of all exterior walls, sealing the attic and soffit vents
  • insulation of the underside of the roof plane
  • re-sizing the HVAC equipment
  • installing a solar hot-water heater
  • installing a new roof with secondary waterproof barrier
  • relandscaping with a drought-tolerant Florida-friendly yard.
