Design & Collaboration
Originally conceived as a Venetian Renaissance-inspired estate, the home required a careful and disciplined approach to restoration. The work involved maintaining the structure’s formal symmetry, proportion, and architectural detailing while integrating modern functionality.
Each intervention was approached with restraint—ensuring that updates complemented the existing architecture rather than competing with it, preserving the home’s identity and sense of permanence.
Execution & Key Elements
The scope included restoration of the façade and skylight, integration of a new pool and spa environment, and upgrades to lighting and home automation systems.
Execution required precise coordination between legacy construction and modern systems, with particular attention given to transitions between original and new elements. Material continuity, detailing, and sequencing were critical to maintaining cohesion throughout the project.

Outcome
The result is a residence that retains its architectural character while supporting contemporary living—balancing preservation with performance. Its subsequent sale at $30.3 million, completed in just 25 days, set a new benchmark for the Sarasota and Longboat Key luxury market, underscoring the lasting value of well-executed, architecturally significant waterfront properties.
