Awe-Inspiring AVIGNON A QUAIL WEST RESIDENCE DESIGNED WITH A FRENCH AESTHETIC PARED DOWN TO ITS SIMPLEST FORM.

14

LondonBay.com

The Avignon, a custom luxury singlefamily estate model built by London Bay Homes, embodies elegant Frenchinspired architecture and interior design complemented by a country club lifestyle.

Overlooking one of two Arthur Hillsdesigned golf courses in the exclusive Quail West community, the two-story, four-bedroom model captures the romance of the French countryside and Florida’s famous outdoor lifestyle.

“We’ve created the Avignon to complement endless possibilities for the

lifestyle desired in Southwest Florida— whether it’s playing a round of golf on the course, boating along the Gulf of Mexico or dining and shopping at nearby top-rated restaurants and shops,” said Mark Wilson, president and CEO of London Bay Homes. “What started as a blank canvas transformed into a genuine and unique expression of luxury, lifestyle and privacy that’s mindful of the way the future homeowner will live within the home.”

Built upon London Bay Homes’ brand promise of Private Label Living, the Avignon

reflects a commitment to ensuring the highest quality, attention to detail, and a refined process honed by decades of expertise, comprehensive knowledge of building sciences and new technologies, and industry-setting standards.

The Avignon offers a sitting room with a gas fireplace, a great room, study, dining room, second-floor loft, five full baths and a powder room within nearly 5,900 square feet of interior living space. It also offers elements of the unexpected—a private garden shower accessible from the master bathroom and

contemporary as well as retro furniture and lighting complementing a pared-down French design aesthetic.

Designed for outdoor living with coveted southern views, the Avignon offers multiple outdoor destinations, including covered sitting areas, an outdoor kitchen, freestanding bar and second-floor balconies. Water and fire features provide a relaxing soundtrack and setting for gathering around a fire table or enjoying fire-and-water views from the custom pool’s sun shelf or spa.

Interiors by Melissa Allen of Romanza Interior Design feature a clean look and a palette of soft aqua, seafoam and blue against white and neutral backgrounds.

The style is evoked in the shapes of select furniture pieces, antique mirrors, and the classic combination of ivory and bisque finishes with classic French blues.

The Avignon’s 24-by-24-inch shell stone flooring in main gathering areas emphasizes

the openness of the kitchen, casual dining area and great room. The combined rooms create a large space for entertaining, aided by an adjoining butler’s bar and the kitchen’s steam oven, freezer drawers, 42-inch refrigerator and double ovens.

The model also features beamed and specialty ceiling treatments, custom cabinetry and millwork, quartzite countertops, polished marble and mosaic finishes, and random-length wire-brushed European white oak wood floors in the study, master bedroom and loft.

The Avignon’s interior design complements its architecture, which 16

features mansard rooflines, simple blackgray metal accents, formal landscaping and a grass-and-paver driveway leading to its two two-car garages on each side of the entry court. Watercolor blue embellishes window casings and mullions, shutters and the home’s entry.

The Avignon is priced at $4,975,000, fully furnished.

SELECTION STUDIO THE GRAND OPENING OF LONDON BAY’S SELECTION STUDIO REVEALS A HOME-LIKE EXPERIENCE WHERE CLIENTS CAN DELIGHT IN THEIR SENSES.

London Bay Homes has opened a new Selection Studio showcasing the latest design trends in the building industry.

“Every room of the Selection Studio has been designed to reinforce London Bay Homes’ brand promise of Private Label Living, and ensure that each home is a personal expression of the homeowner’s distinctive needs, passion and desires,” said Mark Wilson, president and CEO of London Bay Homes. “Clients experience a personalized approach the moment they enter the Selection Studio. They connect with our award-winning team of architects, designers and building experts, who offer a true design-build method to ensure a smooth and enjoyable process.”

The 3,500-square-foot studio offers intimate vignette spaces with varied designs featuring state-of-the-art finish selections.

“The Selection Studio has all of the elements needed to build a home—from flooring and cabinets to countertops and appliances,” said Selection Studio Manager, 18

Alena Birger. “Rather than selecting from a catalog or online, the studio allows homeowners to touch, feel and experience the lifestyle they desire for their custom home.”

Featuring an open floor plan design, the Selection Studio immediately welcomes guests to the hospitality bar, reception lounge and kitchen. Additional spaces include a home office, flooring, cabinet and outdoor living studios, a planning room, millwork gallery, and master suite and bathrooms.

“We designed the space to showcase a multitude of living scenarios and selections to spark imagination,” said Birger.

“Whether it’s an exotic stone and motherof-pearl backsplash or a feature wall made out of wood mosaic tile and sculptural 3D elements, the showrooms prompt homeowners to think outside the box and create a truly individualized experience.”

The hospitality bar’s industrial-glam theme is complemented by top-of-the-line Wolf appliances, including a coffee maker,

Sub-Zero 24-inch tall wine refrigerator, under counter beverage center and ice maker. The space also includes a snowfall-hued granite countertop, a peacock-themed handmade stained glass and mirror backsplash, and floor-to-ceiling stone feature wall.

“ We designed the space to showcase a multitude of living scenarios and selections to spark imagination” said Alena Birger, Selection Studio Manager, London Bay Homes.

The reception lounge features clean-lined furnishings and Feng Shui elements enhanced by a fireplace and a limestone sidewall.

Selection Studio Master Suite Bathroom

The fully equipped kitchen features Wolf appliances, including wall ovens, a steam oven, microwave oven, induction cooktop and Sub-Zero refrigerators

Positioned as the focal point of the Selection Studio, the loft-style chef’s kitchen offers a contemporary approach with custom-stained, rift oak cabinetry featuring a push hydraulic lift system, wood and leather barstools, and an 11-foot Pompeii quartz cascading waterfall island. The fully equipped kitchen also features Wolf appliances, including wall ovens, a steam oven, microwave oven, induction cooktop and Sub-Zero refrigerators.

The studio’s home office features a tranquil coastal design with custom finishes and furniture by Omega, and detailed wood flooring that mimics the dome-shaped wood ceiling. Bi-parting glass doors add privacy for client discussion and planning.

Birger designed the studio’s master suite to evoke a spa-like luxury retreat with all-white marble walls, a marble and mother-of-pearl laser cut mosaic glass tile feature wall set behind a Kohler soaking tub, and white-ice Carrera tile flooring. The space also has a contemporary multilight

pendant overhead fixture and built-in storage alcoves with warm lighting.

Taking a fresh approach to the traditional, the flooring studio showcases wood flooring installed on the ceiling in a diamond pattern—also repeated on the floor.

The studio’s dual bathrooms and custom built-in closet spaces display a contrasting juxtaposition of light, bright and ethereal designs situated opposite a more masculine, mid-century modern aesthetic. Elements in one of the bathrooms include custom furniture and vanities with illuminated glass and a sandblasted top, while the adjacent bathroom features a psychedelic mosaic tile floor pattern, a granite sink and countertop, and a black tile feature wall. Both bathrooms have Venetian plaster on the walls and ceiling.

The Selection Studio is staffed with a team of professionals to answer questions and work with clients to create custom designs reflecting the homeowner’s individual tastes.

Custom CRAZE

YOU DREAM IT, AND LONDON B AY H O M ES WI LL B UI L D I T— FR OM NAPLES TO SARASOTA.

YOU DREAM IT, AND LONDON BAY HOMES WILL BUILD IT.

Southwest Florida’s top luxury homebuilder transforms aspirations, ideas and very specific requests into the area’s most distinguished custom homes—each a masterpiece of individual expression that reflects the homeowner’s distinct needs, passions and desires. From Sarasota’s bay and beachfront to its dynamic downtown and top country club communities, London Bay Homes translates personal visions into reality.

The company’s all-encompassing tagline, Private Label Living, is a commitment to a custom homebuilding experience that ensures the highest quality and attention to detail, and a refined process honed by its decades of expertise, comprehensive knowledge of building sciences and new technologies, and industry-setting standards.

Building a home—whether it’s inspired by a model, a floor plan or a blank canvas

of inspiration—is a major milestone.

Sarasota provides endless lifestyle opportunities with its famous white sugarsand beaches, backyard boats along Sarasota Bay, or, perhaps a bit farther inland, nestled amid rolling golf fairways and nature preserves. Downtown, one is merely a quick stroll to Main Street’s Zagat-rated restaurants, boutiques and world-class arts and culture venues.

London Bay Homes fulfills these scenarios with its custom building programs throughout the Sarasota Keys, at The Founders Club, a premier golf and social club community, and in Lakewood Ranch’s most exclusive neighborhoods.

“London Bay Homes was founded on creating luxury custom residences,” said Mark Wilson, president and CEO of the award-winning builder. “We work with input from buyers to ensure their home is their own, by customizing it to bring their ideal Sarasota lifestyle to reality.”

LondonBay.com

Featuring one of the area’s only true design-build processes and a staff of inhouse architects, interior designers, and experts in custom pools and landscaping, London Bay Homes offers clients a personalized experience, expressing and fulfilling their wants and desires.

“We’ve built an indoor basketball court in a two-story garage that doesn’t look like a garage. We’ve created custom wine cellars, specialized garages for car collectors and yoga gardens,” Wilson said. “The most important element of each custom home is that it’s our client’s vision—not ours.”

“London Bay Homes understood who we were, instantly, and nothing we asked for

The Isabella Grande Model Home

was too much,” said client Evelyn Follit.

Barb Wesley, another buyer, praised the homebuilder “for getting to know their clients and making the process personal.”

A custom home evolves with continual input from buyers, evolving from ideas to paper and concept to completion.

The process, Wilson said, also informs and educates his team. “As a result of working with well-educated homeowners who have very specific ideas of what they want, we’re now designing homes with, for example, a large master bedroom and boutique-inspired walk-in closets to display luxury shoes and bags,” he said.

Custom home architecture now spans the gamut—from country French and West Indies to coastal contemporary.

“It’s part of creating a home that’s uniquely theirs,” Wilson said. “We provide every tool and a multifaceted team to make that happen, while making it an effortless and enjoyable experience.”

At London Bay Homes, quality isn’t just a part of the luxury homebuilding process— it is the process. Unlike any other luxury homebuilder in Sarasota, the company conducts a 500-point final quality control inspection.

“We challenge ourselves to raise the bar on quality, and that translates into everything we do—from having the most talented employees and trade partners, to using the most innovative building techniques and materials, to our whiteglove inspection process,” said Wilson.

“This ensures each home’s performance, durability and sustainability meets the client’s complete satisfaction.”

For Evelyn Follit and Barb Wesley, their new homes are exactly what they imagined—and more. Watch their stories online at Vimeo.com/LondonBayHomes.

Three single-family luxury model homes currently open for viewing at The Founders Club offer three and four bedrooms and 3,300 to 4,400 square feet of living space, and are priced from $1,494,779 to $2,178,900. Created by the award-winning team of London Bay Homes and Romanza Interior Design, the single-story models showcase the latest in luxury architectural and interior design, and offer resort-style outdoor destinations with custom pools and spas.

The 700-acre Founders Club offers large homesites overlooking nature preserves, lakes and fairways along the Robert Trent Jones, Jr.-designed championship golf course.

Reserve Collection homes and custom estates ranging from 3,100 to more than 6,000 square feet of living space are available at The Founders Club. Home and homesite packages are priced from the $900,000s to more than $5 million.

The Founders Club is close to Sarasota’s famed Gulf of Mexico beaches, the University Town Center mall, and the acclaimed local restaurants, boutiques, and arts and cultural venues of downtown Sarasota.

Visitors can stop by The Founders Club Sales Center Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm, located at 3001 Founders Club Drive, three miles east of I-75 on Fruitville Road, Exit 210.

BRIGHT, WARM WELCOME

Visitors to Mediterra’s redesigned sales center will receive a bright warm welcome. A complete renovation updated the building’s darker colors to light neutral backgrounds, incorporated cleaner lines and simple forms throughout the interior architectural elements, and reworked signage to echo the new modern artwork throughout the center.

“The new look reflects a clean, contemporary attitude,” said Deana Skelly,

an interior designer with Romanza Interior Design, who completed the transformation.

“We selected furnishings, finishes and accent pieces that took the space from old world traditional to sleek and modern.”

The project was led by Milesbrand, a Denver-based firm that works with leading global real estate companies, communities and homebuilders to create distinctive brand identification. The agency simplified the sales center’s displays and used new photography from Mediterra to visually tell

32

LondonBay.com

the lifestyle story of Naples’ premier golf and beach club community.

“The displays were created to seamlessly integrate with Romanza’s interior design,” said Deborah Wesler, design director for Milesbrand. “The marketing messaging was shortened to encourage quick engagement focused on key selling points.”

For the interior, Skelly removed the old chiseled edge stone floor and replaced it with a wide, smooth, wood-look porcelain tile. The old world barrel vaulted ceiling and elaborate cast-stone columns were removed. A sitting area in the front lobby offers matching tourmaline-turquoise settees and pillows. A separate, larger lounge offers a digital display and four large club chairs centered around a square walnut coffee table with aged brass inlay.

“We also added a selfserve beverage center where clients can grab a coffee, fruit-infused water or snacks and relax at the bar area while they learn more about Mediterra from the dedicated sales team,” Skelly said.

The center also offers a redesigned original conference room and an alfresco patio. “The outdoor area is such an inviting space for clients to talk with our community representatives,” Skelly said. “The whole experience is much more interactive.”

guests were excited to learn more about the first tower to come to the Fort Myers Beach area in nearly a decade,” said Mark Wilson, president and CEO of London Bay Homes, named America’s Best Builder by Builder magazine. “The response was overwhelming.

Guests enjoyed the evening thoroughly and were pleased with the designs that capture the island contemporary style of the building and the elegant lifestyle only a select few will enjoy in this once-in-a-lifetime location.”

Featuring architecture designed by Bob Hall of Curts Gaines Hall Jones Architects, Grandview’s variegated floor plan designs enhance panoramic views, with sunset and sunrise terraces and large expanses of glass

creating a “see-through” feel in its residences.

“Unlike many project names, London Bay’s Grandview perfectly depicts the splayed views homeowers can expect.

From the water views from the east to the sunset views to the west­—the views are truly special,” said Bob Hall of Curts Gaines Hall Jones Architects.

NEXT-GEN Retirement LONDON BAY HOMES PLANS NEW COMMUNITY FOR NEXT GENERATION OF RETIREES London Bay Homes is excited to announce that it is anticipating state approval on a new community planned for 55 acres in the heart of Naples: Moorings Park Grande Lake.

The new community would build upon the foundation that has made Moorings Park and Moorings Park at Grey Oaks the preferred choice for Life Plan communities in Southwest Florida.

42

LondonBay.com

The project would be in partnership with Moorings Park, and would combine one-of-a-kind vistas of magnificent lakes, luxury residences, exceptional healthcare, as well as optional access to Naples Grande Golf Club.

“Future residents will be attracted to its natural beauty, classic design and total commitment to enable them to live longer, healthier and happier lives,” stated Daniel Lavender, CEO of Moorings Park Institute, Inc. “For nearly three decades, the brand promise of ‘Private Label Living’ has reflected our commitment to building and developing the finest luxury homes in Southwest Florida,”

said Mark Wilson, President of London Bay Homes. “It’s an honor for us to now extend our philosophy of choice in design to the area’s newest community.”

Moorings Park Grande Lake would lay adjacent to the Naples Grande Golf Club, which is located on the south side of Golden Gate Parkway, between AirportPulling and Livingston roads.

Once approved, the community would provide luxurious mid-rise residences, including spacious penthouses.

Moorings Park Grande Lake is designed to take advantage of views of a 28-acre lake,

offering panoramic water and picturesque golf course views.

“The physical environment presents an innovative and resort-style blueprint that provides for seamless physical and visual experiences,” said Lavender.

“It also maximizes the beauty and appeal of waterfront living combined with high-end materials and services,” Wilson added.

For additional information regarding Moorings Park Grande Lake visit MooringsParkGL.org or call 239-919-1620.

ENTERTAINMENT Q: What are some of the most recent venues you’ve played in Naples, Florida?

We wish that we could name all the wonderful venues where we perform, but on any given weekend you can find any one of the Foreman Productions bands performing at the Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort, JW Marriott Marco Island, and the Boca Bay Pass Club in Boca Grande. We’ve even had several solo performances at London Bay’s beautiful model homes.

Q: Do you perform at golf and country clubs, or can you create in-home entertainment experiences?

Absolutely! In conjunction with Foreman Productions, we recently helped create a beautiful backyard wedding in Port Royal that included premium furnishings, live foliage, lighting, and of course the entertainment.

Q: What type of music do you play?

Describe the sights and sounds of the band.

To sum it up simply, we play it all! Brett guides the music at his events to work with what is appropriate at each given moment whether it is soft, background music or an up-tempo dance set. You are sure to see a floor full of multigenerational dancers enjoying the sounds of Motown one moment and the latest radio hit the next—and just wait until you see our saxophonist Gerald hit those high notes.

THE BRETT FOREMAN BAND The Brett Foreman Band is a hip, organic, highenergy party-band that has become a household name at premium venues throughout the state of Florida.

Bandleader Brett Foreman manages productions utilizing years of experience, consisting of thousands of shows and extensive training that began with the ‘Art of the Party’ curriculum at The Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia.

44

LondonBay.com

Q: Describe your favorite venue thus far and why?

Nearly every venue that we play can be described as our favorite for different reasons. For us, it is more about the amazing friends we make and energy within the venue—regardless if the event is a wedding, country club dance, gala, private event, fundraiser, or formal ball.

Q: What is the craziest thing you’ve witnessed at a venue?

While it may not be exactly crazy, we performed at Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach for a party hosted

by Donald Trump. Many A-list guests were in attendance including Regis Philbin—who happens to be a dancing machine.
