Framed by mature trees and nestled within Sarasota’s historic McClellan Park, Sunset Place is a home shaped by a deep understanding of, and sensibility for, its setting—reflecting the charm of the neighborhood, the rhythm of downtown living, and the client’s vision of entertaining, connection, and family life. Every decision—from site strategy to spatial flow—was made with intention: to support a lifestyle centered on warmth, community, and a strong sense of place.
At its core, the project is a masterclass in leveraging zoning and code to unlock the full potential of a complex site. Though landlocked, the home lives like waterfront—offering openness, privacy, and expansive sunset views. Placing the pool in the front yard, within the 25-foot setback, redefines the entry experience. It captures the western light and sets a relaxed, resort-like tone from the very first step inside the gate. Paired with a rear-loaded garage, accessed discreetly via the side setback, the layout transforms the site’s limitations into its greatest assets. Architecture and landscape take center stage, while the full buildable envelope is maximized without compromise.
A natural rise of eight feet from front to back—rare in Sarasota—was embraced as an opportunity. Site walls function as both retaining structures and architectural elements, elevating the pool terrace and entry by over four feet to align with the main interior floor level. The result is a fluid connection between indoors and out: kitchen, dining, and living spaces unfold onto the terrace, blurring boundaries and enhancing everyday rituals as well as social gatherings.
Architecturally, the home is coastal contemporary: open yet composed, airy yet grounded. Clarity in the massing tells a story of the inhabitants from the first glance, while the interior planning offers spatial generosity and ease. The interiors echo this sensibility with a palette that is soft, natural, and tactile—serene without being neutral. The landscape design provides a lush tropical frame, softening edges and reinforcing privacy through layered plantings rather than enclosure.
Ultimately, Sunset Place is not defined by any single gesture, but by the way the home reflects its owners. Their gracious, family-centered nature informed every layer of design—resulting in a space that feels deeply personal, tailored for connection and ease, and perfectly suited for gathering, unwinding, and watching the sun slip behind the trees from the comfort of home.

The Home
Inspired by a family’s desire for peace and serenity, this beautiful updated twist on the modern farmhouse is a dream come true for
this Texas family that now calls Colorado their home. Placed perfectly on a higher elevation of Flying Horse, this sanctuary takes its
queues from the restorative nature of the cooler hills and greener landscapes that surround it. “Unexpected” is the take on this home’s
indoor/outdoor living. The rooms flow seamlessly from gathering places, to cooking, dining and entertaining areas and out to decks
and patios where homeowners and guests alike find it irresistible to just relax. It is easy to understand why coming home here is the
best part of the day.
Throughout this beautiful retreat, traditional impressions meld with new sensibilities and creative ingenuity. Wide, white, oak plank
flooring, distressed brick, crisscross beams, ship-lap that climbs the walls, varied weights of white millwork and a meticulous mix of
painted and wood-stained cabinets and doors exude warmth and encourage friends to stay longer than they ever planned they would. Sophisticated living at its casual best.
Subtle but stylish, this family home is designed as a place where unforgettable memories will be made and family will stay connected
- a gracious lifestyle of thanksgiving and joy that is truly “All About Home”.

The Interior Design
If there is something that never goes out of style, it’s listening to the client and understanding what they want. This gorgeous home speaks to its owner’s sense of class and curated style with muted hues that change subtly from room to room. Mixed metals, weathered materials, white painted trim, layers of tone and texture, and RH fabric colors hovering between driftwood and stone combine to form a quieter look, while industrial touches like black windows and metal stair railings give it an “edge”.
Design is like mixology: put in different ingredients and shake up something amazing. Mix styles - casual with formal, traditional with modern - to create a look that feels fresh and brand new. Designed as a place for fun family living, this home is a must see both inside and out.
