OK how many people will be living in the home. What are the ages? How often do you plan to have guests? How often do you entertain?

Seems like it will be a lot of work to try and furnish it with all those round curves. I looked online at the floor plan and the photos and honestly, it reminds me of 90% of all the mid-large homes in FL.

Hi Cpartist, as a vacation home we may have 2 families staying here, max 6-8 people, and as a retirement home just my wife and I. We are hoping that an architect will be able to take out some of the curved walls and make this more Caribbean style.
