Sarasota Modern embodies a minimalist aesthetic and a deep connection with the nature. Nestled on a long, narrow waterfront property on Siesta Key, it draws inspiration from the Japanese culture, representing an understated and refined appearance with intrinsic quality.
The design focuses on simplicity of form and materials, while strategically addressing site and climate challenges. Two interconnected pavilions float above the tropical landscape to meet zoning requirements, with the main pavilion facing the water and the guest pavilion benefiting from an internal courtyard with a lap pool. Tactically designed architectural features including shading screens, overhangs, and nested windows, enhance the structure’s minimalist aesthetic and adapt to the subtropical climate. Sarasota Modern’s material palette features exposed board-on-board concrete, composite wood shading screens and siding,
white Portland cement plaster, and terrazzo flooring both interior and exterior throughout the home providing unity and understated elegance. The delicate expression and detailing of these elements convey a timeless aesthetic in Sarasota Modern that is a perfect balance of form and function. The execution of the construction is what brings the vision to reality, and refines the design intent to extraordinary, almost rendering level of perfection. The devil is in the details with modern architecture, and the multitude of alignment across great distances is a testament to a well-executed project.
