The open-air kitchen has a spectacular blue and white, hand blocked tile backsplash and quartzite countertops. Integrated, remote-controlled bug screens make it so the outdoor rooms can be enjoyed without pests.

One significant and interesting way to update a space is to cover it with frames of various sizes. In this application, Pineapple House designers keep a visual theme in mind -- figure drawings -- but use a variety of frames. Alll except the largest frame have another common element -- a matt around the image. Pineapple House Photography

Pineapple House designers created views to the home's stairs by widening the opening between the kitchen and informal dining room. They illuminate the area by adding side lights and a tall windowed modernly configured door across from the staircase. Galina Coada Photography

The glass entry in this new construction allows views from the front steps, through the house, to a waterfall feature in the back yard. Wood on walls, floors & ceilings (beams, doors, insets, etc.,) warms the cool, hard feel of steel/glass.

The residence overlooks a nature reserve, making the backyard a private oasis that is fully embraced with three covered porches and 50 linear feet of glass, which is about 65% of the back of the home, mostly expressed as stacking sliding doors. All three backyard lanais have painted white, vaulted, nickel joint ceilings. The lanai next to the kitchen was made for entertaining and features a lounge with a linear gas fireplace and a television, a dining area, summer kitchen, pool bath and an outdoor shower. Integrated, remote-controlled bug screens were added to the lanais for a pleasant indoor/outdoor experience.

The entire space transformed once Pineapple House Interior Design removed several interior walls and sliding glass doors, making one room from five formerly distinct spaces. Pineapple House designed all integrated, energy efficient lighting and wall and ceiling treatments -- beams, coffers, drapery pockets -- and determined all floor and tile patterns.

This kitchen had no windows so Pineapple House designers removed the hallway-kitchen, kitchen-dining and kitchen-living walls to gain a view/air/natural light. The kitchen walls glisten with luminous mother-of-pearl miniature tiles -- an "echo" of the glistening ocean out the window. Daniel Newcomb Architectural Photography

The open style master shower is 6 feet by 12 feet and features a Brazilian walnut walkway that bisects the Carrera marble floor and continues outdoors as the deck of the outside shower. The marble shower has an eight inch rainfall shower head and vanity on one end, and wall mounted units on the other. The exterior has river rock privacy walls and an Ipe accent wall that frames a wall mounted gas lantern. A Bonisolli Photography

On either side of the pool deck, the backyard is covered in faux turf with a golf putting green to the left and an open area large enough for a touch football game on the right. This home is designed for healthy living, offering the family a multitude of ways to embrace and enjoy feasting, fresh air and frolicking in the sun.

The designers bring harmony to the home’s interior architecture with color. They choose a calming pallet of a warm grey with light lavender accents. The existing dark hardwood floors are lime washed then stained grey. Elaborate molding, chair rail and trim are painted the same pale color as the ceiling. The soft palette tames the ornate architectural accents and creates an environment that is refined and meditative. A Bonisolli Photography

The patterned floor continues into the laundry room where double sets of appliances and plenty of countertops and storage helps the family manage household demands.

Outdoor living in Florida demands shaded spaces. The tanning ledge in the pool also assists in cooling efforts, as does the sitting edge along the lap pool. The hot tub is located on the far right. Daniel Newcomb Photography

Overhead in the formal living room, the design on the 14’ tall ceiling echoes the adjacent foyer floor pattern, with thick rift sawn beams in geometric configurations. The living room leads to the kitchen.

Graceful palm fronds in the guest bath impart a visual softness.
