Custom home building in Sarasota FL, like any industry, goes through trends. And especially within the luxury sector, unique aspects to a home can change drastically from season to season. With interesting colors, materials and add-ons, three of this season’s latest trends not only add character to a custom home project but value.
- “Coastal Contemporary” Styling – This current trend in luxury custom home building brings about a modernization of the Old Florida home. Adding clean and contemporary lines to a historic looking frame.
- Incorporating Natural Elements – Utilizing stone or tabby concrete (shells or rocks in the stucco finishes, like some Floridian driveways) provides an earthy feel to a project. Cedar or cypress tongue and groove wooden walls are also a current trend.
- Making Use of Outdoor Spaces – Utilizing the outdoor space has become important to Southwest Florida homeowners this season. Adding interesting aspects to the outdoor areas like fire pits, courtyards and breezeways not only adds living square footage to a home, it also brings more value to the home. While developing outdoor spaces adds value to a home, it also cuts down on added costs like additional wall spaces and air conditioning.
