BIRD KEY RENOVATION

ECHT ARCHITECTS

GOLD WINNER : BEST REMODEL | RENOVATION

Sweeping views of Downtown Sarasota across the Bay from Bird Key create a dramatic backdrop for this neo-modern renovation. Situated at the corner of a waterfront street, the original home had strong bones and great sightlines. The spaces are opened inward toward each other—and out toward the dramatic views. Large-format concretelook porcelain tiles blend them together. A tall walnut-stained front door welcomes guests into the living room, with a broad custom concrete fireplace surrounded with tapering edges and a soaring walnut-paneled over-mantel and ceiling detail. With walnut and lacquer finishes, a large, open kitchen sits center stage, while elegant stairs with a center stringer and wood block treads bring you upstairs to the guest suites. Aside from the family room, a custom concrete bartop with a waterfall and tapering details provides ample space for relaxation and play.
