COLLABORATE RENOVATIONS | YODER HOMES
Guided by their company core value of “unquestionable integrity,” Yoder Homes specializes in custom-built homes, remodeling projects, room additions, and historical renovations. Over the past decade Yoder Homes has built a reputation as a reliable source for homeowners looking to incorporate unique interior features into their homes. Many of these projects involve high-end finishing that requires a superior level of expertise and proficiency. Yoder Homes has shared that Suncoast homeowners enjoy living in spaces with clean, modern lines. To implement this trend, Yoder Homes has recently completed a large scale, remodeling project where trey ceilings and soffits were removed to create a flat, one-level ceiling. The complexity of the project was furthered by the task of leveling the room’s floors to remove step-downs in an effort to maximize water views. Yoder Homes understands that these complex renovations, which are often fashioned in a Coastal Contemporary style, require expert planning, design, and craftmanship. The Yoder Homes team can work directly with clients from start to finish or can collaborate with a client and their architect to manage the construction side of a project. In addition to home building and renovations, Yoder Homes also offers custom cabinetry, storage solutions, hardware installation, flooring and window coverings. To assist with the design process, Yoder Homes maintains a state-of-the-art showroom to display their wide range of high-quality cabinetry and resources. Whether a client is seeking a new home or looking to renovate an existing one, Yoder Homes is dedicated to incorporating practices that support long term sustainability to projects- so integrity and craftmanship can be enjoyed well into the future.

Specializing in luxury interior design services, Collins Interiors LLC offers a highly personalized approach to helping clients transform their homes. Each new project begins with a comprehensive trademarked questionnaire developed by the firm’s founder Barbara Vanderkolk Gardner. By taking the time to understand a client’s taste, style preferences, family routine, budget and lifestyle, the dedicated designers at Collins Interiors are able to ensure that each finished project reflects the unique style of their clients. Treating each project with the same care as if they were designing or renovating their own homes, the Collins Interiors team uses their design expertise to incorporate texture, color and finishes that make spaces stylish and functional. When a project requires something bespoke that cannot be sourced, Collins Interiors takes on the production of custom pieces. The firm has designed and created furniture, area rugs, lighting, bedding, window treatments, art and accessories. With over twelve years of experience in the Suncoast region and as the recipient of numerous design awards, Collins Interiors specializes in high end residences on Lido, Longboat and Bird Key, in downtown Sarasota and within other local waterfront communities.

OUTDOOR SANCTUARIES | DENNIS A. BARTH LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT Third-generation, Sarasota native Dennis Barth has nearly thirty
years of extensive design expertise and botanical knowledge. As a Landscape Architect, Barth designs and manages his vision for landscapes, hardscapes, lighting, pools, fountains and areas that are essential for Floridians to entertain outdoors – herb/veggie gardens, fire pits, kitchens, and tiki huts. Complementing architectural styles that range from Modern to Mediterranean, he works closely with clients to create outdoor spaces that serve as sanctuaries for relaxation complete with intimate pathways, curated water features, and lush flora and fauna suitable for the Sun Coast climate. Dennis Barth notes that especially now as we experience this year’s pandemic, clients are seeking environments that they can escape to while enjoying the natural tranquility of their home’s surroundings. Mindfulness about sustainability, organically sourced fertilizers and maintaining a low carbon footprint are still top of mind. Trends for Fall 2020 landscape design include: decorative privacy panels, wood grain porcelain tile pool decks, hydro-planters and renewable materials. Trending at resort pools around the world, is the use of Sukabumi green tile mined in Java, Indonesia with purification properties - giving clients the effect of being transported to Bali. Dennis is incorporating this into a current project and looks forward to the results. When he’s not working with clients to create their dream landscapes, you may find Barth tending to his own botanical garden that is home to more than one hundred orchids.

The statement is unequivocally reflected within the Sarasota-based Interior Designer’s extensive portfolio of livable, luxurious design. George Stilo’s focus on building relationships with his clients based on a foundation of trust and integrity has been key to his practice. Stilo provides turnkey services and works with his clientele from concept and design through installation to create stunning interior spaces in a variety of styles.

He shares that understated window treatments, wallpaper, and blending art deco elements with contemporary motifs are emerging design trends this year. He has also noticed that clients are doing away with tile and returning to wood flooring. Stilo advocates for his clients to live with objects that are meaningful and encourages them to become interested in integrating works of art into their homes. Art oftentimes becomes a dynamic focal point in a room but also showcases the client’s individual personality.
