Celebrating Excellence in Remodeling
Murray Homes is delighted to have earned a prestigious second-place award for complete remodeling excellence on projects exceeding $1 million at the Tampa NARI Coty Awards 2024. This recognition highlights the company’s dedication to quality craftsmanship and innovative design, which is showcased in its stunning transformation of a canal-front property on Siesta Key.
The recognition honours the Murray Homes team’s hard work and creativity and celebrates their dedication to providing clients with beautiful, functional spaces.
An Owner’s Vision Brought to Life
The owners of the Siesta Key property had a clear vision for their home: they wanted a space that adhered to modern design standards while also serving as a gallery-like setting to showcase their impressive collection of artwork. Additionally, they wanted to maximize the natural light available in the home, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere that would highlight both the art and the architectural features of the newly designed space.
The owners were savvy enough to understand that remodeling an entire home – especially one along the water or within wind velocity zones – is unlike other renovations and that many older Sarasota homes are not up to current structure or safety standards.
They chose Murray Homes because of their decades of experience dealing with waterfront properties and working with the Sarasota city and county, understanding all the aspects required to create a beautiful home in keeping with the lasting legacy of successful remodels across the region.
A Comprehensive Transformation
Murray Homes understood the brief and was up for the challenge, involving an extensive renovation of both the home’s exterior and interior. The goal was to breathe new life into the property, transforming it into a contemporary coastal retreat that embraced modern design principles and reflected the owners’ unique aesthetic vision.
Exterior Revamp
The property’s exterior underwent a complete overhaul, starting with the fundamentals – replacing all windows and doors. These upgrades improved the home’s energy efficiency and durability and positively contributed to its fresh, coastal contemporary style.
The design transformation was in complete harmony with the natural beauty of the Siesta Key waterfront, creating a striking first impression for visitors and passersby alike.
Interior Innovation
The remodeling efforts inside the home were equally ambitious and extended to every corner of the property. The team at Murray Homes stripped out all existing ceilings and columns, opening up the space to allow for a more modern, airy, and open living environment.
This reconfiguration laid the groundwork for a seamless flow between the home’s various living spaces, enhancing functionality and aesthetic appeal.
The bathrooms were completely remodeled, featuring sleek fixtures and contemporary designs that complemented the home’s overall modern vibe.
New flooring was installed throughout, providing a unified, sophisticated look that tied the spaces together.
Additionally, updated lighting, automation, audiovisual, and a new air conditioning system were integrated to enhance the home’s comfort and function.
A significant highlight of the interior remodel was the kitchen, which featured a redesign and installation of professional-grade appliances. This upgrade transformed the kitchen into a chef’s dream, offering a functional and stylish space for cooking and entertaining. The new layout also created a more open environment, making the kitchen a central hub of activity in the home.
Harmonious Home
The owners of the Siesta Key property were thrilled with the results, as their vision of a dream home was brought to life in every sense. The project is a shining example of what can be achieved when expert craftsmanship, innovative design, and a clear vision come together.
On-Time and On-Budget Success
One of the most impressive aspects of the project was its completion within the expected time frame and budget.
The team at Murray Homes worked diligently to ensure that every detail was executed to perfection while adhering to the project’s schedule and financial plan. This commitment and professionalism set Murray Homes apart as they continue to deliver the gold standard for luxury remodeling and custom home building in Sarasota, and their latest award-winning project is yet another milestone in their legacy of excellence.
