Situated on prime waterfront slip, the Pine Tree House could float we used so much wood. This project consisted of a complete package. Built-In lacquer wall unit with custom cabinetry & LED lights, walnut floating vanities, credenzas, walnut slat wood bar with antique mirror backing.

As part of the end goal to unify the space to create a seamless and cohesive atmosphere, structurally altering the client's home was integral. Removing a section of the wall at the deck door allowed us to open the living and dining spaces up to the kitchen. Custom-crafted shelving was inserted to enclose the modern couch and create a cozy atmosphere.

The kitchen cabinets were custom made by a local craftsman Grayfox Design Works from local sourced Walnut wood. The cabinet fronts are horizontal slab continuous grain. The island is approx. 15 ft long. It's Silestone Eternal Calcatta Gold with a waterfall end. The counter height stools are from Fyrn, the pulls are Forge Hardware and the lights were sourced on Amazon. Appliances are a variety of brands sourced from different vendors with an induction cooktop and Elkay Quartz undermount sink. The windows and doors are Marvin and the flooring is clear maple.

The home’s design grew organically by the crossing of water, influenced by a nearby bridge linking the tree-lined property to the surrounding golf course. The design was also inspired by the Mid-Century architecture of Florida’s Golden Beach and the revival of the idioms associated with that movement. Exploring the intersection of architecture and place and context and creativity, the project’s sensitivity to the surrounding environment is expressed with a proliferate use of natural elements — like stacked white stone facades and support columns — further smudging the edges between exterior and interior. Water surrounds the home; a koi pond and trickling fountains create a soothing entry. Inside, expansive plate glass walls and windows welcome the outdoors. Full-length windows double as folding partition doors and when peeled back, open the living room to the lanai, and pool deck while simultaneously providing a bridge between indoor and outdoor living. An open stair floats to a second floor catwalk that links north and south bedroom wings, and both contribute to the soaring volume of the interior spaces.

The master bathroom has a freestanding tub in a wet room shower. Black hexagonal floor tiles give a geometric pattern to the space. Frosted glass provides a modern touch of privacy.

Every so often we get the unique opportunity to collaborate with another designer. This quirky and elegant master bath could not have been more fun to be a part of. Meg Miller's incredibly cool vision for her clients' master bathroom was modern and bold, but refined, comfortable and inviting. The clients had specific needs for storage and the use of space, but didn't want anything to appear function-over-form. No amenities were overlooked: custom walnut cabinetry, heated floors, a digitally controlled shower and steam shower, and an all glass water-closet.
