SPARBEL RESIDENCE

Situated on the North tip of Siesta Key in Sarasota, Florida, this newly constructed home seamlessly blends modern design with the natural beauty of its surroundings. The elevated structure rises above with two main floors atop an open ground floor, providing both functional living space and protection from the elements.

The house is a testament to transparency and light, with extensive glass walls that invite an abundance of natural light while offering unobstructed views of the canal and waterfront. The main living area channels the inhabitants view, creating a serene connection with the outdoors where dolphins frequently play in the canal. Beneath the house, the pool deck offers a shaded retreat, featuring a lap pool, hot tub, and sun shelf that cater to both relaxation and recreation. The pool deck itself is crafted through several variations in elevation, cascading gently down to meet the waterfront, enhancing the visual and experiential flow from the house to the coastal context.

Upon entering the home, visitors ascend a floating stairway that leads them to an open, sky-lit courtyard—the very heart of this dynamic residence. This elevated exterior foyer serves as a central hub, from which one can access either the main house or a charming guest house situated to the side.

The exterior utilizes wood siding, and the design is softened further by several planters that hang from the home's exterior, bringing these natural elements closer to the living spaces. The master suite occupies the top floor, boasting panoramic views of the bay and breathtaking sunsets, complemented by a rooftop terrace perfect for evening relaxation. 

One of the home's most distinctive features is the playful chair swing, suspended from the third-floor roof and extending down two floors to hover over the sun shelf pool. This unique element not only adds a whimsical touch but also emphasizes the home's connection to its idyllic waterfront setting, making it one of the several standout feature in this modern coastal retreat.
