One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Pre-Construction. To be built. Experience the pinnacle of contemporary luxury in this meticulously designed cantilevered home by the globally renowned Spanish architect Fran Silvestre. Paired with its contrasting twin under simultaneous construction next door, this groundbreaking project epitomizes the underlying principles of balance and dualism—a first for the esteemed architect in the USA. Encompassing nearly 3,450 conditioned square feet across two impossibly balanced floors, this residence stands as a testament to architectural excellence. Fran Silvestre's distinctive design philosophy, characterized by clean lines, geometric precision, and seamless integration with the natural environment, results in spaces that are visually striking and profoundly livable. Adorned with two primary bedrooms—one on each floor, accessible by an elevator—the house offers a harmonious blend of private and convenient living. A third bedroom on the second floor enhances versatility, accommodating guests or family members with ease. The ground floor unfolds into a seamless open floor plan, effortlessly blending the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Minimalist luxury permeates throughout, with practicality and style evident in the spacious two-car garage and adjacent storage room, ensuring functionality without compromising the overall design coherence. Outdoors, the residence beckons residents to indulge in the alfresco lifestyle, featuring an in-ground lap pool, a vast stone deck, and a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen—an ideal setting for hosting gatherings or savoring serene moments in Gulf-side nature. Covered terraces for both master bedrooms, along with one spanning the length of the ground floor, seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living, offering a harmonious blend of nature and architectural sophistication. Revel in partial views of the bay from the larger second-floor primary and terrace, and find solace in a private rooftop patio—a retreat for relaxation and bay views. Fran Silvestre's architectural aesthetics play a pivotal role in elevating this residence to the status of a veritable work of art. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows drench the interior in natural light, erasing boundaries between inside and outside. High-end finishes, including natural stone, polished concrete, and a warm wood plank floor, contribute to a timeless elegance. Sustainability is central, with geothermal heating and cooling ensuring optimal comfort while minimizing the ecological footprint. Beyond its prestigious address in the highly sought-after neighborhood of Sapphire Shores, this property is poised to stand as a coveted modern residence for decades. Renowned within the international modern architecture community, the studio's illustrious portfolio extends beyond this masterpiece, featuring projects like the serene elegance of the Balint House, the gravity-defying design of the House on the Cliff, and the environmentally conscious Casa del Acantilado. Living in a Fran Silvestre-designed home transcends homeownership—it's an immersive experience where innovation, luxury, and sustainability coalesce seamlessly. The global recognition and awards underscore the unparalleled desirability of his work. In this minimalist masterpiece, every detail reflects a dedication to pushing boundaries, creating not just a shelter but a true sanctuary—a work of art that intrigues the mind and stands as an emblem of Sarasota modern architecture at its finest.
