Kitchen Area

Distinctive Communities was contracted to transform a courtyard style villa in Pelican Bay into an updated tropical retreat. The client felt that over the past 16 years, the home was not used to its fullest and set out to redefine spaces and maximize the utility of all the rooms in the home. In cooperation with Distinctive Communities and Vince Muller Interiors, the new and improved courtyard villa now overflows with unique spaces and environments for all aspects of life.

Wine Bistro Area

The main change was converting the little used living room into a cozy wine bistro. Designing the centerpiece built-in cabinet for the bar area was a challenge with space constraints, but the impact of the finished product was tremendous. With a cozy seating area that opens up to an enclosed lanai, true indoor/outdoor living can be experienced.

To open up the floor plan, the kitchen was redesigned to bring a new feel and look to one of the most important rooms of the house. A wall was replaced with a vast countertop lit by pendant lights. The original island with bar height counter was replaced with a large prep island with countertop height seating. The new cabinets reach from floor to ceiling and have designed spaces for decorative glass.

Naples is synonymous with outdoor living. The client wanted some changes to the feel of their courtyard. With the assistance of Christian Andrea, a flow-crete deck was replaced with a delightful chiseled edge stone and contrasting boarder. The pool design was left alone, but the transitional decor was transitioned to the outside with waterline tile inlaid with glass and a sheer decent water feature to capture the eye and ear.
