In this highly coveted Naples community of Pine Ridge Estates, the lots are generous — none under an acre. “This is not a house we have ever built before,” relishes the Director of Residential Construction at McGarvey Custom Homes, Jennifer McGarvey Burch. Residential Designer Richard Guzman of R.G. Designs creates a unique floor plan specifically for this lot. “The house design would normally be front to back, but we angled it to achieve the beautiful view of the lake,” shares Guzman. u
Foyer | Stairs: The dark charcoal, solid sapele wood entry door opens into the foyer that steals your breath away with this lighter-than-air custom staircase. A single beam runs down the center, cradling the white oak treads that match the glass and white oak railing caps by McGarvey Custom Homes. Deconstructed, tropical artwork climbs the wall of this two-story space, adding a touch of the tropics to this high-contrast contemporary design. Front Elevation: Landscape Designer Christian Andrea of Architectural Land Design selects foliage with varying heights to create a delightful composition of leafy green that softens this architecture while palm trees line this meandering driveway. The lush, central roundabout greets you at the end of the arcing, taupe and charcoal stone drive from TriCircle Pavers. A weathered ash slate roof rests atop this clean exterior in Sherwin-Williams Alpaca with trim in Toque White and a Dusty Grey accent on the shutters. Great Room (previous spread): An ebony-stained white oak built-in surrounds the polished mushroom hue porcelain tile on the fireplace, and this deep earthy tone repeats on the bar in the lounge, where Lead Interior Designer Arlynn McDaniel of Freestyle Interiors creates a striking art wall of wine bottles that rest in a stainless-steel rack. Clean white fabrics and chrome feet adorn these supple and durable recliners from Hancock & Moore, while other notable pieces like the acrylic base stool and see-through cocktail table lend a weightless feel to this design.

This house sits approximately 200 feet from the road. Project Manager Ben McGarvey of McGarvey Custom Homes shares, “We situated the house toward the rear of the lot for privacy, and that gave us the ability to create this grand, winding driveway toward this estatestyle home.” Against a clean and cool contemporary exterior, Landscape Designer Christian Andrea of Architectural Land Design blends coconut and foxtail palms with mid-canopy ligustrum trees and low-lying copper leaf plants for pops of color — all to honor the tropical lake environment. Andrea places an outlying fire pit deck where this peaceful lot touches the lake. u
Kitchen: This airy, high-gloss kitchen shows off McDaniel’s fearless design talent. “I’m the type of designer that with each project I do, I want to do something a little bit different,” shares McDaniel, who purposefully leaves the chrome handles off of the back wall to preserve the clean aesthetic on the white cabinets from McGarvey Custom Homes’ cabinetry division Southlinks Custom Cabinetry. The satin nickel on the high-end Sub-Zero refrigerator repeats on the backs of the modern counter stools from Elite Manufacturing that McDaniel dresses in a softer hue, making them feel more contemporary. Dining Room: McDaniel structures a custom ebony shelf detail around abstract art pieces from Art Classics — adding pinpoint lights to highlight the dashes of turquoise, taupe, and midnight black in the art and décor. High contrast between the white Arabescato Pompeii quartz countertop and the deep tone cabinets from Southlinks Custom Cabinetry is an invert of the adjacent kitchen color scheme. This sleek chandelier carries the curvilinear forms that McDaniel uses to soften the strong lines of the architectural detailing.

“We love creating homes that are comfortable for family and friends, and in this home, we infused warmth into the clean lines of the contemporary design,” shares Faith Fix, owner of Freestyle Interiors. Lead Interior Designer of Freestyle Interiors Arlynn McDaniel casts an inviting feel over this home by incorporating high-contrast and high-impact touches. With a backdrop of soothing gray hues and glistening chrome accents, McDaniel adds pops of turquoise and aqua to tie in the lake-life experience with this stunning interior. “We wanted large gathering spaces throughout the home, and we achieved that all over — from the great upstairs bonus room to the open great room, and to the outdoor living,” shares Burch. Typically, McDaniel designs the furniture layouts first and then tackles the ceiling plan, but for this open concept on the main floor, McDaniel starts with the creation of this hybrid ceiling design. “I love the architectural aspect of designing a house because it can really create a lot of ambiance for the home,” declares McDaniel. These unique ceiling treatments bridge the open spaces and create cohesiveness throughout the home. High-impact features, such as the airy glass staircase and the geometric custom ceiling designs are in harmony with such intricate details as the artistic built-ins. McDaniel works side by side with McGarvey Custom Homes’ in-house cabinetry company to design these artistic niches. This strong connection between custom home builder and a fully functioning wood shop ensures that everything can be custom built to any design. The cumulative skills and talents of this dedicated builder and the designers are what make this luxury home an inviting lakeside contemporary design. n

Master Bedroom: Guzman designs a magnificent master bedroom with wrap-around lake views through these floor-toceiling windows. On a motorized system, these translucent, silvery gray draperies from Fabricut — custom made locally — fill the space with a delightful, romantic atmosphere. McDaniel designs this luxurious bed and provides her drawings to Southlinks Custom Cabinetry, who create this magnificent white oak with ebony stain bed, housing a hidden television that rises out of the footboard and swivels. Master Bathroom: McDaniel embraces geometric tile shapes to tie this master bathroom and morning kitchen together. Above the morning kitchen hangs a custom shelf detail similar to the dining room, yet here it is done in a gray laminate to match the cabinets below and on the vanity from Southlinks Custom Cabinetry. A soothing gray and silky silver tone vinyl wallcovering lines the space. McDaniel selects this tapered tub from Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery, and to break up the lines, she chooses this angular, white glass pendant. homeanddesign.net

Lanai: Carrying the theme to the outdoors, McDaniel uses a cloud ceiling design on this lanai. Tape lighting where dark meets light creates a dynamic layered effect. This outdoor kitchen features Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances from Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery. The outdoor sectional sofa from Summer Classics pairs well with the clean line lounge chairs from CabanaCoast that create a delightful conversation nook in front of the fireplace.
Loft: This loft opens to the open-air balcony with pocketing sliding glass doors from Andersen Windows & Doors, installed by Florida Wood Window & Door. McDaniel delineates this large space with a cloud ceiling design in three unique yet subtle colors. The pendant from Lighting First offers the space beautiful arcing curves that echo in the floor lamps. Long, gray-washed, wide-plank flooring is a subtle backdrop for the interesting furniture pieces, like the white marble top and metal base high-top table, as well as the Burton James chaise and loveseat. Guest Suite: Energetic and vibrant, the artwork in this guest space boasts refreshing, lake-inspired hues in turquoise, teal, and cobalt. Low profile, tufted-back club chairs from Sunpan rest beneath the artwork for a picture-perfect visual. McDaniel darkens the gray palette for a stronger presence that shows in the Bernhardt bed in charcoal fabric with a chrome inlay. These iron tripod lamps with linen shades from Surya have an angular quality that melds with the edgy chrome benches from Neuvo.

Rear Elevation & Pool: “Pools tend to take on an architectural styling and design today,” describes Andrea. “Current fashion favors contemporary design, and this pool becomes a lovely extension of this home.” The warm gray and silver travertine covers the deck and pool, creating a seamless visual, while Castle Services of Southwest Florida provide much-needed protection from the elements with motorized roll down shutters and insect screens, in addition to Bahama access panels and decorative hinged shutters. The waterline tile is a white and gray glass that glistens and carries the colorway out to the edge of this expansive 40-foot pool.
