“Bespoke” is the buzzword for this extraordinary waterfront home. Located on Lido Key, the neighborhood of Lido Shores is a special place that conveys the rich history of Sarasota through its variety of architectural styles. The homeowners, who couldn’t settle on just one style, enlisted architect John Potvin to create a home that included several timeless elements customdesigned to suit their liking. Michael Voigt, president of Voigt Brothers Construction is no stranger to building on-of-a-kind homes. “From the elaborate millwork and tile details, to the aquarium and pool area complete with a grotto, the surprises never stop, whether you’re inside or out,” describes Voigt. u

The roof lines and plantation shutters denote West Indies island living, the contrast of light and dark is characteristically transitional, lantern lighting references Old World, and the pagoda-style entry calls to mind Asian construct. It’s eclectic, it’s fearless…and most importantly, it works!
