Architectural Award-winning Beach House. This dramatic sculptural residence is situated in the very
private and gated Sanderling Club on Siesta Key. The home turns abstract art into concrete reality. After
a four year collaboration, the homeowners and their architect, Guy Peterson, agree that they achieved
exactly the modern masterpiece they envisioned. Peterson organized living spaces in color coded
"cubes". The cubes reflect a privacy gradient from public uses to shared spaces to family areas to
children's zone. The home is perfectly designed for its' beachfront setting with deep overhangs which
shade the property from direct sunlight but allow for maximum light and spectacular water views. The
home functions like a private family resort with its wonderfully large pool designed to accommodate
both water polo games and lap swimming. The pool features a slide purely for the fun of it and an
oversized Jacuzzi for relaxing. A fire pit is ideal for evening gatherings and the volley ball court attracts
players of all ages. The stunning 1.53 acre site features beautifully landscaped gardens on both the entry
side of the residence and the beach side living and entertaining area.
