Achieving the perfect balance of openness and intimacy…

 Situated on two-plus acres, this 3,200 SF Sarasota residence was designed to reflect the Client’s desire for a minimalist home they could equally live in and entertain. The concept of the layout was to create a separation of these functions with architectural elements but to tie the design together with light, form, and repetition. The floor plan reflects these considerations with a distinct delineation between public and private areas. The uncluttered design and palette of simple finishes creates a sense of interior and exterior space that is wide open without ignoring privacy. Further addressing the Client’s request for seclusion, the home intentionally faces away from the busy street and onto an open pool terrace. Through the use of non-traditional building materials the Owner’s request for an energy-efficient home was achieved. The result is a home that has been awarded the Florida Power and Light Gold Star certification for energy efficiency.
