In 2015, the new owners undertook a transformative renovation collaborating with Guy Peterson FAIA, Michael K Walker, and Richard Geary, resulting in a newfound clarity of design that harmonizes seamlessly with the original architectural brilliance. Elegantly composed of four rectangular pavilions, each thoughtfully supported by a concrete framework, the exterior is a true work of art. Layers of concrete, intricate cutouts and artful glass details adorn the modern façade. As you approach, a seashell-textured concrete path welcomes you, setting the stage for the extraordinary experience that unfolds within. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by interiors that are equally awe-inspiring. The foyer gives way to views of all levels creating the perspective of a sculpture framed by glass, concrete, metal and pure white. The custom bar, elegantly appointed with an illuminated onyx top, blends effortlessly with its surroundings. The dining room showcases concrete columns against sanded glass walls, framing a mesmerizing beach view through towering floor-to-ceiling windows. The custom kitchen pays homage to the teak accents found throughout the home, featuring top-of-the-line Miele and Wolf appliances, marble counters, and dual islands. The owner's suite is a private oasis, complete with a cozy sitting area, a convenient coffee bar, meticulously organized closets, and a Gulf-front terrace to enjoy a morning coffee while taking in the tranquil blue Gulf of Mexico view.
