Many clients are torn between modern, contemporary, and traditional design for a new home and that struggle is often carried into the Architect’s office. The solution is typically a blend of the owners wishes if they cannot pick sides. In Sarasota especially, the continuing boom of modern design has pushed the scales of what would be considered traditional given the city’s design history. Architects focus on modern so much that contemporary is everything that doesn’t fit in that category. Traditional homes are thought of as the warm and cozy homes of one’s childhood. We set out to capture that warmth and coziness as a new typology, New Traditional. This home is a blend of all three mentioned styles; modern design overtures with contemporary notes and traditional details.
