Florida living is light, bright, and certainly colorful. In Southwest Florida, we fling open the doors and bring the outside in.
In this master bath, white high gloss cabinets with steamer trunk frames and custom hardware are set against the color of the Gulf of Mexico shallows as they appear in full sun.
Let it be. Outdoor cabana living is done right in this Pine Ridge Estates home. Designer Provost says “our clients wanted a place that was full-on comfort. They let the teak go to it’s natural patina and I’ve never seen it look better. Works so well with the vintage doors which together with the neutral stone fireplace makes a great backdrop for accents in saturated tropical colors.”
Sunset at Captiva. The saying “living the life” is realized in full splendor in this recreational area with resort-style pool. A sheer descent water feature near the shallow water sun deck make this the perfect place to enjoy the setting sun and to ponder why all that work to get “here” was worth it.
Dinner anyone? Is there a reason to cook inside anymore? K2 Kitchens created a beautiful full kitchen in a cabana designed by Jenny Provost, Design Principal at K2 Design. “Our clients wanted an outdoor living space in which they could spend quality time with their three beautiful children. The hammock is so loaded with pillows it reminds me of a bounce house”, says Provost, who also designed the swimming pool. Good times shared by wonderful people in a great environment.
Clean lines make modern, warm colors and rich exotic woods make it tropical. It’s the perfect blend of everything that is “today without the sterility. A stunning Kravet rug anchors the mahogany paneling and imported Italian furniture by K2 Design.
Fireplaces reign even in the tropics. The imported stone fireplace houses an ethanol burner which provides a nice glow on the occasional chilly night.
Bali meets Captiva in this beachfront house designed by Jenny Provost of K2 Design. Roof lines intersect to create the feel of the South Pacific at South Seas Resort. Well planned lighting makes the night sparkle and puts one in the mood for a beach party.
Now this is making an entrance! Mahogany faux beams and columns create a colonnade effect with amazing art work from celebrated El Salvadoran artists.
Atmosphere is everything when dining al fresco. Weathered exotic woods show warmth and endurance and are a great contrast to the lively color associated with tropical dining.
Can you the hear the water? Feel the cool splash? Breath in the salt air and fragrant flora? Last question: Do you just want to be here? This is Tropical Modern.
