“After Mark’s design, we sometimes feel the guesthouse is nicer than our main home.”
-Patrick A.

We hear kind words like these often, and they mean a great deal to us.

We believe the best homes are designed *with* our clients, not simply for them. Every project begins with listening. Our clients bring the vision, and we bring more than 30 years of experience to shape it into a home that feels entirely their own.

In Florida, the view is part of the home.

Thoughtful window placement lets you experience the outdoors from every room. In this waterfront dining room, windows frame the river at eye level from the table, sliding doors open to the covered porch, and natural light pours in from three sides.

We design each space with intention, to capture a view, invite a breeze, or bring the landscape inside.

Found the perfect lot? Before you buy, look beyond the view.

A beautiful property can shape your future home in ways that aren’t always obvious at first glance. Before a client closes on a lot, these are the considerations we review:

Setbacks. How close you can build to property lines and the water determines the size and placement of your home.

Flood zone and elevation. Many Florida properties require the home to sit above a set flood elevation, which influences the design, the budget, and how the house meets the landscape.

Drainage. Low areas and poor runoff can call for additional fill and site work.

Sun exposure. Orientation guides where we place porches, windows, and shaded outdoor living, especially on a west-facing lot.

Access. Narrow roads, tight drives, and bridges affect how materials and equipment reach the site.

Soil conditions. What lies beneath the surface can determine the type of foundation your home requires.

None of these need be deal-breakers. Understanding them early simply means fewer surprises and a home designed to make the most of its setting.

Before & After. Same lot, same bones, a whole new home. ✨

Some of our favorite work is reimagining homes that already have good foundations, opening floor plans, updating exteriors, and making older homes ready for the next 30 years of Florida living.

In high-end coastal architecture, the greatest design challenges are entirely invisible to the naked eye.

Designing for the tropics requires a delicate balance: engineering for extreme elements without compromising on classical luxury. Many believe that strict hurricane codes and harsh marine environments force a pivot toward stark, modern minimalism. We disagree. Timeless, classical architecture is uniquely suited to withstand the coast when engineered correctly from the foundation up.

Estates

The home's layout, site conditions, structural details, and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces all need to work together.

We help clients work through critical design decisions before construction begins. A well-developed plan can reduce unnecessary revisions, improve coordination with the builder, and help avoid costly changes once construction is underway.

The more you resolve on paper, the fewer surprises you may face on site.

How long does it take to design your custom home?

Depending on the home's size and complexity, the design process may take around three months or longer. Larger homes may also require additional engineering and coordination.

One of the biggest factors affecting the timeline is how quickly the plans come together. When you have a clear vision, decisions can move forward more efficiently. Multiple rounds of floor plan and elevation revisions can add weeks or even months to the process.

We'll work with you too create a design that reflects your vision while keeping the project moving forward.
