HGTV Dream Home 2013

Although this home isn't exactly local and it's slightly more southern transitional than contemporary, we still thought it was an interesting subject for Contemporary Sarasota. Plus, there's no denying how great it would be to win this year's HGTV Dream Home on Kiawah Island, South Carolina! The network describes this year's prize as a "low-country zen cottage". The house sleeps 10 comfortably and has ample party and entertaining space. The color palette really takes advantage of the natural surroundings and at times gets bold, which adds that perfect element of playfulness for a vacation getaway! To finish things off, the property is surrounded in a lush southern landscape, which can easily be enjoyed from the numerous terraces and outdoor deck spaces.

Our Vision Becomes A Reality

We are pleased to share the long awaited unveiling of 320 Calle Miramar. This custom designed Siesta Key residence was created by Cheryl Gaddie of CG Designs. Architect, Mark H. Smith of Smith-Architects developed all plans, elevations, and renderings for the property. The home was built by Dan Gerdes of Gerdes Construction. All teams worked together seamlessly to create this contemporary coastal masterpiece, located just steps from Siesta Key beach.
