Gulf Shore
Naples, FL
Located on the Gulf of Mexico, this waterfront residence in Naples, Florida reimagines an early-2000s Mediterranean home into a resilient and contemporary coastal dwelling. A restrained material palette and refined proportions clarify the architectural character of the house. On a constrained site with close neighbors, windows and shutters are carefully composed to balance privacy, light, and views. Designed to withstand a demanding coastal climate, the home incorporates hurricane-rated windows, roll-down storm shutters, and non-corrosive exterior metals. Careful consideration of salt air exposure and local lighting regulations intended to protect endangered sea turtle populations informed both material and lighting choices, resulting in a durable and contextually responsive coastal residence.
