Custom stargazing area designed and built by Southern Landscape. A critical area on a beautiful property, this stargazing area anchors the path tying the pool and cabana to the main home. The pergola is built using natural, raw cedar lumber on a base of limestone for seating.

Looking from the exterior, this addition was built to look as though it was always a part of this home. Often times, the roof tie-ins on additions can be tricky, so it is critical to hire a company that understands how these structures should be built to prevent leaking or drainage issues later on. Our clients can rest easy knowing that their room addition was built correctly and to code!

This second-story addition to an already 'picture perfect' Naples home presented many challenges. The main tension between adding the many 'must haves' the client wanted on their second floor, but at the same time not overwhelming the first floor. Working with David Benner of Safety Harbor Builders was key in the design and construction process – keeping the critical aesthetic elements in check. The owners were very 'detail oriented' and actively involved throughout the process. The result was adding 924 sq ft to the 1,600 sq ft home, with the addition of a large Bonus/Game Room, Guest Suite, 1-1/2 Baths and Laundry. But most importantly — the second floor is in complete harmony with the first, it looks as it was always meant to be that way. ©Energy Smart Home Plans, Safety Harbor Builders, Glenn Hettinger Photography

The open kitchen has work stations that give it critical functionality. There is a breakfast area, a work space with a desk, and a separate bar/drink station.

We all want a bathroom that would be a reflection of our personal style and be able to deliver the comfort we need at the same time. If your bathroom is a part of your master bedroom, it is critical to blend the design. This is a good way for you to plan your bathroom layout around the idea of what’s functional.

This property came with a house which proved ill-matched to our clients’ needs but which nestled neatly amid beautiful live oaks. In choosing to commission a new home, they asked that it also tuck under the limbs of the oaks and maintain a subdued presence to the street. Extraordinary efforts such as cantilevered floors and even bridging over critical root zones allow the design to be truly fitted to the site and to co-exist with the trees, the grandest of which is the focal point of the entry courtyard. Of equal importance to the trees and view was to provide, conversely, for walls to display 35 paintings and numerous books. From form to smallest detail, the house is quiet and subtle.

The client asked us to create a low maintenance, highly functional front entry to this beachfront retreat. As with most beach homes, guest parking is critical and creating an easy to navigate parking area is paramount to design success. We chose to maximize the front yard without turning it into a parking lot. Native crushed stone parking pads surrounded by sun loving, drought tolerant plants create exactly what the client was looking for.
