Custom home architectural design trends and fads change all the time, year after year, day after day, but there are some fundamental qualities and principles that never go out of style, like classic beauty, balance, and elegance. Benjamin P. Butera’s signature architectural style faithfully embodies these design elements as they shine through in each of his works, whether modern, Mediterranean, farmhouse, or beyond. No matter the style, the timeless look and quality remain.
A fine expression of the Ben Butera timeless architecture signature design style is this striking oceanfront custom house, designed by award-winning architect Benjamin P. Butera and built in 2021 in Ormond Beach, Florida, a premium residential area close to Daytona Beach and strategically located between Orlando and Jacksonville.
Luxury Custom Home Design Elements That Add Value
With a beautiful curb appeal distinguished by a unique blend of curved and linear details, perfect symmetry, and masterful lighting, this custom house’s thoughtful design stands out from the rest. Looking both grand and inviting, its travertine driveway offers expansive outdoor parking space and leads the way to the property’s magnificent glass and concrete entrance.
The 3-story, 6,000-square-foot mansion sits on over a half-acre lot and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. It features 22 ft. high ceilings with large windows and large sliding glass doors that showcase the breathtaking ocean view, making nature and its prime beachfront location carefully crafted home spaces that invite the outdoors in.
Equipped with 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a home office, a gym, walk-in closets, a 4-car garage, a media room, and an open-plan living room, dining room, and kitchen, this luxury home accommodates growth and change, offering a range of private and shared spaces tailored to contemporary coastal living and family lifestyles.
The large fenced-in yard was designed to include an ocean-view infinity pool with a hot tub and a travertine-covered patio with an outdoor kitchen, lounge, and seating area. The backyard connects the house to the sand and ocean through a private beach walkover, giving this custom-built house prime water access and transforming it into a tropical retreat. This waterfront property is an oasis designed for privacy, calm, and comfort while also providing an ideal space for entertaining and social gathering.
As is customary for Benjamin P. Butera’s designs, every structural element and all rooms in a mansion are thoughtfully oriented to frame and celebrate the water view, ensuring the architecture enhances the beautiful scenery rather than interrupt it. Each home space and room is designed to maximize the panorama and natural light, going as far as to add floating stairs and balconies, both with glass railings so as to not obstruct the view and flow of the home, and add dramatic geometry to the structure.
