We appreciate their quality design, professionalism, attention to detail, and responsiveness. **★★★★★ — Steve Ferqueron, Aug. 2017** > I have known Andrew for about 10 years when he worked for the most prominent architect in Los Angeles, California. This firm had an international presence (at home and abroad) for luxury custom homes and Andrew was a part of this team for over 8 years. The homes they designed were from 6,000 sf to over 100,000 sf – and a lot of them! > > ECHT is sophisticated in their design and business practices. They are well versed in Modern and Traditional orders of architecture. Their hearts and minds are engaged in the process with a high level of integrity and I have no doubt that we will all enjoy the benefits of their designs in the years to come. The choice of an architect is like choosing art – it is an important and personal decision, which will have a lasting impact. My hope is that you will choose ECHT Architects for all of your architecture needs! **★★★★★ — Nautilus Homes, Aug. 2017** > I would highly recommend working with Echt Architects for any project. They receieved their experience working with highly acclaimed firms in major markets. They are familiar with the level of detailing and materials that discerning clients need in a multi-million dollar home. They are also very personable people. That is important, as any major project should be viewed as a partnership between entities. They make a god partner in creating a one of a kind home. ## Selected projects - [Twin Beaches Villa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/twin-beaches-villa-pj-vj~6781004) - Location: Nokomis, FL - Photos: 4 - [Courtyard House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/courtyard-house-pj-vj~6092622) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 9 - [Casey Key Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/casey-key-cottage-pj-vj~6549806) - Location: Nokomis, FL - Photos: 4 - [Modern Beach House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-beach-house-pj-vj~6092780) - Location: Golden Beach, FL - Photos: 5 - Description: A family home at it's heart, this Modern Beach House utilizes an existing structure to reinforce a subtle massing of solids and planes to create multiple areas for living, relaxing, and play. Clean lines and contemporary styling creates a backdrop for beach house living at it's most luxurious! - [Bird Key Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bird-key-renovation-pj-vj~6092675) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 21 - Description: Sweeping views of Downtown Sarasota across the Bay from Bird Key create a dramatic backdrop for this Neo-Modern renovation. Situated at the corner of a waterfront street, the original home had strong bones and great sight-lines. The owner sought to re-imagine the interiors in a more contemporary style, complementing the owner's eclectic art collection.

The interior architecture palette combines monochromatic elements with punches of walnut and streaks of gold.

The name of the project, En Pointe, celebrates this story: elegantly balanced on a point. Each spacious unit spans from front to back, making ample room to celebrate fun in the sun on the deep sunrise or sunset terraces. Seeking a new and genuine Sarasota theme, it displays a 'Mid century Modern' inspired aesthetic in a Neomodern style. - [En Pointe - Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/en-pointe-exteriors-pj-vj~6092661) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 4 - [Seaside Paradise](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seaside-paradise-pj-vj~6092761) - Location: Longboat Key, FL - Photos: 4 - Description: Stepping out onto a white sand beach, this family home is truly a slice of paradise. The exterior architecture is a transitional modern West Indies style with a monochromatic palette and smooth coralstone cladding and accents. The living area above the ground floor is a contemporary, open-plan concept with Great Room, Kitchen, Dining, and Bar areas incorporated. A large covered terrace and a lot of glass connect the indoor living space to the beautiful sunset views over the Gulf of Mexico. - [Tropical Harbor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tropical-harbor-pj-vj~6092770) - Location: Siesta Key, FL - Photos: 4 - Description: The tropical features of the lands surrounding Roberts Bay in Sarasota make you feel like you're in a nature sanctuary. At the edge of bustling pockets of towering trees, there are mangroves for miles, hosting a litany of vibrant flora and fauna. This home is perched along the edge of the bay, with a front row seat to the hustle and bustle of the daily activities of the wading bird community, with the occasional kayak streaming by. The front of the home has a series of planters and porch that he… - [Whitfield Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whitfield-residence-pj-vj~6092755) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 4 - Description: This renovation, addition and guest house is part of an estate originally designed by Ralph Twitchell, founder of the Sarasota School of Architecture. The Main Residence is preserved in a Mediterranean Revival style, and the new Tea House and Japanese Garden inspired landscaping transports you to an earlier time, when design inspiration could readily be found in many international cultures. - [Private Florida Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/private-florida-residence-pj-vj~2838580) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 4 - Description: The integrated indoor / outdoor living spaces of this Coastal Classic style home ease the transitions between everyday work, play, and relaxation for this family of 5. Deep roof eave overhangs help shield the home from the most harsh sunlight, which allows for large windows with views out to the tropical landscape. The spaciousness of the open kitchen and double-story great room is enhanced by large sliding glass doors and windows to the outdoor living spaces, as well as the screened-in pool are… - [Bent Tree Guard House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bent-tree-guard-house-pj-vj~2624276) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 1 - Description: The Bent Tree Guard House is rather tiny, with a lot of personality. It has a symmetrical design with beautiful serene water features facing vehicles entering or exiting the neighborhood. A breezeway allows for a covered entry, and helps to break down the massing of the simple layout. Rustic rough-hewn stone cladding, terra cotta tile roofing, and large window planter boxes add earth-toned colors and textures. - [Kays Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kays-residence-pj-vj~2130088) - Location: Gulfport, FL - Photos: 4 - Description: With panoramic bay views on a peninsula property facing North and West, the existing 3-story house did little to take advantage of the amazing potential and opportunities present. For this stellar location, the client sought to celebrate the spectacular views through taller ceilings, more windows, outdoor living spaces, and a more gracious master suite. The design features a low pitched roof configuration that eases up out to the West, capturing the afternoon light. The ground level rises up wit… - [Coastal Classic Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-classic-retreat-pj-vj~6092747) - Location: Manasota Key, FL - Photos: 5 - [Florida Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/florida-renovation-pj-vj~2589456) - Location: Osprey, FL - Photos: 2 - Description: A key element to this renovation and addition is the relocation of the master suite and views to the water side of the existing single story house. Music is a daily component in this family's life, and it occupies the symbolic heart of their home. At the 'knuckle' of the plan, in the center of the picture, is a music nook for their piano. The metal roof planes bend and wrap the alternating stucco, wood, and concrete wall finishes. The screened covered terrace and large windows look over the dram… - [Prospect Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prospect-residence-pj-vj~2670608) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 1 - Description: The Prospect Residence renovation and addition project posed a simple challenge: create a 1,000 square foot addition including a guest suite with sitting room, study, and a private entry on top of the existing single story 3-car garage footprint. Angled walls mirror the tower element of the existing house in the background, allowing for panoramic views from the study, where much of the client's time will be spent. The updated landscaping, wood-clad garage doors, and curved stair help to soften t… [See all 29 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/echt-architects-pfvwus-pf~2082387013) ## Ideabooks - [Stairs and Railings](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/72108361/list/stairs-and-railings) — 1 idea - [Powder Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/72105213/list/powder-rooms) — 8 ideas - [Lovely Laundries](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/72108059/list/lovely-laundries) — 2 ideas [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/echt82) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is the material, source, finish of ceiling?** *(in Photo Questions)* Love that ceiling. Please tell us about the source. Thanks. A: The ceiling is comprised of 1x6 tongue and groove cypress wood, painted with Sherwin Williams 'High Reflective White' in a semi-gloss finish. A continuous 1-1/2'' gold reveal and 1/2'' pencil molding trims out the junction between the ceiling and the walls for a modern, glamorous twist on a 'crown molding'. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
