SECOND PLACE (tie)
Lucia, Kassik & Monday
Various Elevations
Retro-Modern, Modern and Classical elevations were submitted by Jim Lucia for the same floorplan. A multi-level design with an elevator allowed incorporation of a basement option—unusual in Florida. The first floor encompasses a kitchen,a dining room, a living room and a foyer, all in defined spaces and yet open to one another. The kitchen opens onto an outdoor living area with a pool and a lanai. The basement encompasses a home theater, a guest room and a bar. Upstairs, the master bedroom suite with sitting area leads to a balcony, as does the his-and-her office, which could be converted into two additional bedrooms.
Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 5
Square feet: 4,296

From the Judges The spaces are both highly ordered and coherently arranged, yet flexible and open...Relegation of the cars to the backyard makes this a neighborly house.
