@modulodesignstudio was at the office today installing our materials and samples cubbies! They did an amazing job and we wanted to send the entire team a big thank you!
Behind the garden walls of Shibusa, arriving guests are immersed in tropical gardens containing a lap pool and outdoor entertainment areas. Framed views to Big Sarasota Pass and downtown captivate your attention along this tranquil entry sequence. . . . . . . . . . . . #hivearchitects #sarasota #siestakey #florida #shibusa #architecture #sarasotaarchitecture #sarasotamodern #tropicalmodern #floridamodern #tropicalarchitecture #floridaliving #modernhouse #architonic #sarasotaschoolofarchitecture #minimal #design #archilovers #lovedesign #indooroutdoorliving #residentialarchitecture #pool #architecturestudio #steel #fabrication #midcenturymod #modern #waterfront
Similarly to ancient parchments from which the written substance was erased in order to be reused for new script, this existing house was “scraped clean and ready to be used again”. Like a Palimpsest, the existing structure was carefully stripped of the architectural and programmatic elements that were no longer relevant for the new Owners’ daily usage of the house. The existing architectural elements were meticulously analyzed to be edited, reconfigured, eliminated, or drawn upon to generate a carefully constructed assemblage in symbiosis with the new programatic elements. The new adaptive design takes cues from the existing exposed cast-in-place shadow box that accentuates the expansive water views from the kitchen area. The dynamic equilibrium of the rectilinear shadow box composition and its expanse of glass was analyzed and drawn upon to generate the aesthetic and materialistic integration of the new master bedroom wing. . . . . . . . . . . . . #hivearchitects #sarasota #florida #architecture #sarasotaarchitecture #sarasotamodern #tropicalmodern #floridamodern #tropicalarchitecture #floridaliving #modernhouse #architonic #minimal #design #archilovers #lovedesign #indooroutdoorliving #residentialarchitecture #adaptivereuse #remodel #palimpsest #exposedconcrete #modern #pool
VOA - To achieve the purity of form, the existing volume was simplified with the elimination of the angled walls and the extension of the partial height walls to the ceilings to create larger wall surfaces for art display. The existing grounded stair was replaced with a light cantilevered steel stair with glass railing that seems to float in space. In addition, the purity of materials resulted from the use of simple but honest elements. White surfaces create a uniform backdrop for the art, light wood paneling warms the space and separates one surface from another, glass doors and railings allow light to flow from room to room, and floating steel treads create the illusion that the stair defies gravity becoming in itself an art piece. 📷 @rgammaphoto Steel Stair: @modulodesignstudio . . . . . . . . . #hivearchitects #sarasota #florida #architecture #sarasotaarchitecture #sarasotamodern #tropicalmodern #floridamodern #tropicalarchitecture #floridaliving #modernhouse #architonic #minimal #design #archilovers #lovedesign #residentialarchitecture #modulo #steel #fabrication #modern #woodpaneling #warm #blankcanvas #interiorarchitecture #remodel #renovation #cantilever #knoll #classicfurniture
"Shibusa" an enriched, subdued appearance or experience of intrinsically fine quality with economy of form, line, and effort, producing a timeless tranquility . . . . . . . . . . . . #hivearchitects #siestakey #sarasota #florida #architecture #sarasotaarchitecture #sarasotamodern #tropicalmodern #floridamodern #tropicalarchitecture #floridaliving #modernhouse #architonic #sarasotaschoolofarchitecture #minimal #design #archilovers #lovedesign #indooroutdoorliving #residentialarchitecture #steel #fabrication #midcenturymod #modern #nativelandscapes
With purity of form and materials as a required aesthetic, the conceptual idea for this project evolved in the direction that the Owner's art collection needed to be contained in a simple but elegant receptacle. As many ancient cultures have done in the past with their most valuable treasures such as food, perfume, or jewelry, the purpose of this container is to display but also protect the Owners’ collection thus creating a Vessel of Art (VOA) 📷@rgammaphoto . . . . . . . . . #hivearchitects #sarasota #florida #architecture #sarasotaarchitecture #sarasotamodern #tropicalmodern #floridamodern #tropicalarchitecture #floridaliving #modernhouse #architonic #sarasotaschoolofarchitecture #minimal #design #archilovers #lovedesign #indooroutdoorliving #residentialarchitecture #renovation #remodel #steel #fabrication #modern #voa #vesselofart #art
Our Palimpsest House is creating new horizons on Lido Key in Sarasota. We are well underway with construction on this waterfront property with protected views of the beautiful mangrove island known as Otter Key. Playing Dolphins, slow moving manatees, and an assortment of birds frequent this tranquil site. . . . . . . . . . . . . #hivearchitects #sarasota #florida #architecture #sarasotaarchitecture #sarasotamodern #tropicalmodern #floridamodern #tropicalarchitecture #floridaliving #modernhouse #architonic #sarasotaschoolofarchitecture #minimal #design #archilovers #lovedesign #indooroutdoorliving #residentialarchitecture #architecturestudio #steel #fabrication #modern #waterfront #kitchen #roomwithaview #lidokey

Gourmet at heart, the Owners of this condominium did not find the remote location of their current kitchen, nor its 90’s generic design, efficient or adequate to serve their life style. With the desire to entertain their family and friends, the Owners wanted to reconfigure their condominium layout to provide an open kitchen with no physical barrier and a better connectivity to the dinning room and living spaces beyond. . . . . . . . . 📷 @rgammaphoto #hivearchitects #sarasota #florida #architecture #sarasotaarchitecture #sarasotamodern #floridamodern #floridaliving #modernhouse #architonic #minimal #design #archilovers #lovedesign #residentialarchitecture #modern #modernkitchen #condoremodel #lbk #longboatkey

Three enclosed phone booths provide privacy for phone calls in an otherwise open office space, and can also serve as solo work stations when needed. The use of color, selected from one of the company’s logo colors, activates the small rooms located on the side of the open ‘Work’ space . . . . . . . . . 📷 @rgammaphoto #hivearchitects #sarasota #florida #commercialinterior #interiors #architecture #sarasotaarchitecture #sarasotamodern #floridamodern #minimal #design #archilovers #lovedesign #phonebooth #wood #woodcladding #accentcolor #steel #customfurniture #framelessglass #tech
Located on Westway Drive In Lido Shores, the original house was designed by Sarasota Architect, Don Chappell, in the mid 80’s as his personal home. Although the current Owners requested the updating of all finishes, the original pastel colored cabinetry in the kitchen and its dynamic configuration designed by Don Chappell, known as a ‘trademark’ of the late architect, was partially kept and made a prominent feature in the new kitchen design. . . . . . . . . . . #hivearchitects #sarasota #florida #architecture #sarasotaarchitecture #sarasotamodern #tropicalmodern #floridamodern #tropicalarchitecture #floridaliving #sarasotaschoolofarchitecture #minimal #design #archilovers #lovedesign #indooroutdoorliving #residential #donchappell #lidoshores #kitchen #remodel
We are excited to begin construction of our new architecture studio at the BOTA Center. The building is fully restored and ready for construction to begin. . . . . . . . . . 📷: @rgammaphoto #hivearchitects #sarasota #florida #architecture #sarasotaarchitecture #sarasotamodern #tropicalmodern #floridamodern #tropicalarchitecture #floridaliving #sarasotaschoolofarchitecture #minimal #design #archilovers #lovedesign #historicrestoration #adaptivereuse #roadsidearchitecture #architectureoffice #midcenturymod #botacenter
Our tenant improvement design for @adrizertech is fully operational. To celebrate the mid-century features of the building, the original structure is uniformly painted and remains exposed. The continuation of the homogenous ceiling and concrete floor from one end of the building to the other, ties every element of the program and eliminates boundaries between them. . . . . . . . . . #hivearchitects #sarasota #florida #architecture #sarasotaarchitecture #sarasotamodern #floridamodern #sarasotaschoolofarchitecture #minimal #design #archilovers #lovedesign #tech #advertising #advertisingagency #ryangammaphotography #tenantimprovement #midcenturymodern #steel #wood #cladding #interiordesign
The BOTA Center, formally known as the Baker’s Badcock Furniture store was originally built in 1957. After being rescued in 2015 by local developer, Howard Davis of Latitude 27 Properties, the abandoned mid-century building was carefully restored and adapted to serve as creative commercial space in the newly revitalized Rosemary District. Completed in 2017, exactly 60 years after its inception, the building has new tenants moving in and in a few months time will be the new home of hive architects! . . .
