The residence sits on the banks Philippi Creek in Sarasota County on a triangular shaped lot. The expansive design encourages interaction with the site and takes full advantage of Florida’s agreeable climate. The living room wing, bedroom wing, and detached garage together form a private courtyard around the pool shielding the owners from both the street and the public waterway.   

The office and guest room are reached by an exterior shaded gallery adjacent to the courtyard. The living room wing runs along the creek and opens to the long views over the small body of water.  The exterior shaded gallery is part of the entry sequence and is on axis with a grand oak on the river’s bank. A west facing balcony perched over the entrance offers a viewing platform to catch views of the setting sun.
