It has won numerous architectural awards, including the American Institute of Architects’ State of Florida Design Award of Excellence, and the American Institute of Architects’ Tampa Bay Chapter Design Merit Award “Best Modern Building in Florida.”  Built primarily from concrete, raw steel and high-impact-resistant glass, the north-to-south facing property features an open-air office environment designed to capture natural light throughout the building while keeping temperatures cool. Two large suites include ample, flexible office and meeting space.  The building also includes a theater and full kitchen.

Small spaces along the paths allow visitors to step off to contemplate the artful design. Landscape transitions from outer, park-like green space to structured, paved inner core.  Our nation's national cemeteries are the final resting places for men and women who served our country with unmatched valor.

Over the four decades of his Sarasota practice, Abbott has adapted the thinking behind Frank Lloyd Wright’s organic architecture to designs appropriate to the subtropics.  After studying under Paul Rudolph at Yale University, Abbott received his master’s degree in architecture in 1962. After beginning his practice in Hawaii, he went on to work with I.M. Pei in New York City, and was an original member of TEAM4 in London with his Yale classmates, Richard Rogers and Norman Foster. In the 1960s, Abbott opened his firm in Sarasota, where he soon became a recognized exponent of the Sarasota School of Architecture.

Although he does not work from anyone’s theories on the appropriate direction for contemporary art, most of his photographs exemplify the post modernist notion that to be relevant to the final quarter of the 20th century, art needs to be political in nature. Steven is, however, an artist, not a propagandist. Consequently, his images are not overtly political: the viewer must take time to think about each photograph to arrive at its ultimate message.  The home is full of not only Stevens work but other significant artists as well.

Located just 10 miles from the beach, and with all of Vero Beach’s cultural and entertainment attractions nearby.  The WillowBrooke Court addition follows a nationwide movement to make senior care more homelike, where residents live in “households” and share a kitchen, dining room and living room. Other features include flexible schedules and activities, enhanced dining options, as well as larger living spaces and activity areas that promote socialization.

Residents at Indian River Estates donated more than $3 million toward the expansion at the continuing care retirement community that features a new model of senior care widely lauded within the healthcare industry for its person-centered service delivery and architectural design.  A very cool design that feels more like a 5 star hotel than a retirement community.

The well-appointed rooms of this estate have been carefully planned to capture the island’s best views and gentle sea breezes, while providing all of today’s modern conveniences.

Additionally with the location of the property being Bird Key in Sarasota, it made shooting close to home possible for a change.
