Innovative Design and Sustainability
The residence uses Extreme Panel Technologies’ advanced structural insulated panels (SIPs) for unmatched energy efficiency and strength against coastal elements. Bill Hickey’s design features expansive windows and open layouts, maximizing views and natural light. The Blues’ selection of Extreme Panel was driven by their commitment to sustainable living and their trust in the long-lasting comfort provided by SIPs homes.
Resilience and Efficiency
Engineered for resilience by Maddie Costelli Pettry, President and Engineer of Record at Simpkins & Costelli, Inc., the property stands robust against high winds and humidity. Maddie designed the foundation and pier system, ensuring a solid base for the home.

Superior insulation from our panels reduces energy consumption, supported by an efficient HVAC system and eco-friendly appliances.

Kevin Taylor, owner of Plum Homes and the project’s general contractor, along with the crucial involvement of Eric Couts, owner of Premier Homes and SIPs installer, meticulously transformed the visionary design into a reality. Their combined expertise ensured the build’s aesthetic appeal and structural integrity, seamlessly integrating the panels into the overall design.
