This early 90's contemporary home was in need of some major updates and when my clients purchased it they were ready to make it their own. The home features large open rooms, great natural light and stunning views of Lake Washington. These clients love bold vibrant colors and clean modern lines so the goal was to incorporate those in the design without it overwhelming the space. Balance was key. The end goal was for the home to feel open and airy yet warm and inviting. This was achieved by bringing in punches of color to an otherwise white or neutral palate. Texture and visual interest were achieved throughout the house through the use of wallpaper, fabrics, and a few one of a kind artworks.

Cultured stacked stone accents lend a contemporary element, while corbels and shutters nod to island style on the home’s façade. “This is a well-done, proportionate house that will not age,” says architect Alberto Abad. Savoy House lanterns in a walnut patina finish cast a welcoming glow through seeded glass. The side-loading garage allows for well-balanced symmetry; it does not overwhelm the elevation. The high level of finishes and quality of materials selected by the owners dramatically elevate this home.

This is the main kitchen of the home. Be sure to see the secondary prep kitchen too! Rich mesquite flooring and wood beams add a richness to the space.

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
