Dream home on untouched land, raised above floods, with privacy, views, and a cozy living space for guests
Project #14-12
Completed Spring 2018
Location
St Petersburg, FL
-
Eager to craft their dream home amidst the pristine backdrop of an undeveloped property overlooking a serene mangrove habitat, these Clients embarked on a journey of architectural vision and environmental stewardship. Elevating both the house and garage above the floodplain, a parking courtyard sits at the same level as the entry, ensuring seamless access while safeguarding against potential inundation. Orienting the residence to face North, the Clients gain breathtaking views and refreshing cross-breezes, all while preserving their privacy from neighboring properties.
-
The main level of the residence includes a modest yet inviting living area, adorned with a spacious kitchen and complemented by a generously sized covered porch, perfect for alfresco dining and tranquil relaxation. Tucked away on this level lies the Master Suite, providing a sanctuary of comfort and repose, alongside a dedicated space for the Clients' extensive collection of literary treasures.
-
The upper level reveals two guest rooms with views for visitors, who share access to a well-appointed bathroom, ensuring both comfort and convenience. Through meticulous planning and a deep appreciation for their natural surroundings, these Clients have crafted a home that seamlessly blends architectural elegance with ecological sensitivity, offering a haven of serenity and sophistication amidst the splendor of nature.
