A glamorous sophistication, infused with beauty and style in every carefully planned detail defines this alluring home in Naples’ Pine Ridge Estates. Rustic bones in its ceiling and wall treatments are juxtaposed with transitional furniture and décor, blending the traditional elements and classic glamour of a French chateau with the cleaner lines of modern-day interior design. Inspired by the client’s love of all things French, the project—from early sketches to the final romantic masterpiece—was a collaborative effort between the client, residential building designer, interior design team, and builder. Sunwest Custom Homes Managing Partner Glenn Midnet worked closely with Design West’s interior designers Kelly Kurtyka and Kaitlin Edwards, from concept to completion. “It was essential to have the interior design team involved from the beginning stages of this project in order to ensure the interior details were cohesive with the structural design, ceiling details and electrical plans both in style and function,” Midnet explains, adding, “Many interior architectural details were designed by Design West Vice President Edgar Ramirez, Associate AIA.” A clear departure from present-day southwest Florida architectural trends, the home is well-suited to its location, providing the much-needed leeway for lead residential building designer Travis Hite to accomplish the owners’ goals. “In Pine Ridge Estates you aren’t governed by the roof height limits as you are in the city in Naples. That gave us the opportunity to create dramatic 35-foot high vaulted ceilings and beam work. The great room concept modernizes the design, while the beam work ties it back to the traditional French chateau. It was an extremely fun project; it was out of the box.” HOME & DESIGN 2018 V1
