VILLA AZURA
PERRONE CONSTRUCTION S I LV E R
Villa Azure defies convention and takes you on a journey through the owners’ imaginations. Gracing 230 feet of uninterrupted coastline overlooking Sarasota Bay, Azure presents itself boldly with an eclectic coastal modern aesthetic. Evoking a clean, crisp feel that is warmed by the use of natural materials on the ceilings, soffits and louvres, Azure rests upon a recessed coral-stone stem wall that gives the home a weightless feel.Designed entirely by the owners, this truly bespoke home maintains a constant flow of experiences for the senses. Enter the foyer through double 12-foot backlit onyx cabinets, dine next to a fish tank of glowing glass sea creatures, warm under the sunlight filtering through to the interior planter, become spellbound by the Gucci wallpaper or step outside the master bath directly into the three-level infinity-edge pool. Boldly balanced, the home itself is an incredible collection of furniture and art, much of which was specially commissioned for the home.
