The Seaside Avenue Residence has received a Palladio Award for New Design & Construction – less that 5,000 sq. ft.
Located in the master-planned community of Seaside, Florida, the house is an expression of Victorian-esque curvilinear forms of 19th Century coastal architecture found across the Eastern Seaboard. The elliptical porch spanning two floors is the defining feature of the house. A stipulation for all the houses on the street, the porch became an opportunity to explore the idea of this space as an exterior room with its own unique expression.
Period Homes Magazine featured Seaside Avenue along with other Palladio Award winners in their July issue. Also known as “In Surf We Trust,” an article about the residence also appeared in the July issue of the Seaside Times and Vie Magazine.
