Gulfshore Homes specializes in modern architecture

Gulfshore Homes is one of Southwest Florida’s most trusted, respected and talented luxury home builders – and with nearly 30 years’ experience – one of the longest established.

Within its experience in the Southwest Florida home building marketplace, the professionals at Gulfshore Homes have seen design trends come and go. One of the most popular today is the designing of homes featuring modern architecture. 

“Mediterranean had its day and for approximately 30 years was the architectural standard. Today, we are in the infancy of the trend of Modern Architecture,” said Steven Watt, President of Gulfshore Homes. “We specialize in the luxury home market and right now we are designing and building more homes with modern architecture than ever before.”

“No matter which community or neighborhood we build, it’s all about the customer and bringing their vision to life,” added Matthew Shull, Vice President of Construction for Gulfshore Homes. “And it’s very clear during our first meeting with them, our new clients have fallen in love with the clean lines and open spaces of modern architecture design. We see this as a trend which will certainly last through the next decade.”

Modern architecture does have many characteristics Southwest Florida homeowners love. The easiest to see are the clean lines, pure geometric in shape, an unfussiness yet eye-catching appeal visually.

“Some describe the look as beautiful geometry, with various sizes of horizontal and vertical rectangular lines, that join together perfectly,” Watt explained.

The clean lines allow for walls of glass, sometimes two or three stories high, which permit the natural sunlight to flood the interior space, which helps to bring the outdoors in.

“When it comes to modern architecture glass walls are in,” notes Shull. “ And many times the glass extends from floor to ceiling.”

There are many other elements that are characteristics of modern architecture. Among them are flat roofs and the use of traditional materials, such as wood, brick and stone which are configured to reflect the modern aesthetic. The living spaces are open and no longer defined by a grouping of small spaces. And the living room, dining room and kitchen is one contiguous interior space, creating a more relaxing and casual way of life.

“There are so many elements which make a modern home so appealing as well as energy efficient,” concludes Watt. “We specialize in those elements – those design features which many homeowners are requesting today.”
