Project Style: Tropical Modern
Size: 4 bedrooms; 5 full bathrooms; 1 half-bath 6,200 sq. ft.
Home Story: These homeowners had their eye on Sunset Properties for several years, watching each new build closely. When Sunset started construction on an urban contemporary residence just down the street from their home, they had a front-row seat to all the action. The couple knew they’d found their design/build firm.
Challenges & Points of Interest: Waterfront living is all about the views. Combining the homeowners’ love of contemporary architecture with superb light and sightlines is always a welcome challenge – no view shall escape!
Intriguing materials and rich textures compliment this home’s tropical modern aesthetic. The entryway’s greeting is accentuated by a soaring two-story wall of custom concrete tiles which enhance the acoustics from the adjacent water fountain. The pivot front door leads the way to stunning water views which are framed by expansive glass walls and doors that span both floors of the north facade. The first-floor ceilings are accented with thermally modified oak slats guiding the eye through the space. Walnut veneer is the choice for the kitchen and dining cabinets, appliances and accents. And then there is the custom staircase which creates the gravity-defying illusion of floating in mid-air.
Collectively, these details support the view-first mandate, and encourage a lifetime of memory-making.
