New Awards: SRQ Home of the Year and Aurora Awards

We have won 2 more awards from SRQ magazine for the Bayshore house at 4948 Bay Shore Road: Gold or 2nd place for Home of the Year and First place or platinum for Outdoor Spaces. 

GOLD WINNER - BAYSHORE “GREEN” HOUSE -Terry G. Green, Architect
The inspiration for this project came from the Balinese concept of detached “Bale” pavilions—an architecture form representative of separate living zones. The Balinese style of architecture exemplifies a strong link between the indoors and outdoors and is achieved in this house through the use of a series of high French doors that open directly onto heavily shaded porches on the second floor and to the pool/patio on the first floor. The true focus of this house is the pool/patio area with features such as two waterfalls, a connecting bridge to the guest suite and a cooking/dining pavilion. The project is certified by the Florida Green Building Coalition.

Some Jurors Comments:

"Your use of bamboo inside a house is certainly beautiful and would be a joy for any person who appreciates bamboo to live in."

"I THOUGHT THIS WAS A LOVELY, COMPLETE PRESENTATION. MR. GREEN HAD APPLIED BEFORE, BUT THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER. LOVE THE DETAIL SHOTS, ESPECIALLY IN THE BATHROOM! TELL HIM, THANK YOU FOR APPLYING AGAIN!!"

"The design throughout the structure is superb, and the use of bamboo is imaginative, such as rounds to support the bathroom mirror and the use of the bamboo pole to complete the arc, as well as stair treads, ceiling covering, flooring, beautifully designed cabinets and many details. "
