As construction and design continue to evolve over time, sustainable design that is mindful of resource allocation and strives to minimize waste moves to the forefront. Award-winning architect Benjamin P. Butera has been a pioneer of green design, creating energy-efficient custom homes and passive houses for over four decades in the Sunshine State and beyond, successfully blending sustainability with beauty to redefine modern home design.

This beautiful, energy-efficient ocean-view home designed by Benjamin P. Butera features a beautiful 2-story open plan, a modern kitchen with an adjacent butler’s pantry, a large master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom equipped with a sauna, and a total of 5.5 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. It also has an air-conditioned, tiled garage for maximum comfort.
Located in Ormond Beach, only a short walk from the beach and one block away from the Intracoastal Waterway, this contemporary house boasts a large, fenced yard with a saltwater pool, a patio with a lounge and seating area, and an outdoor shower. This custom-built home was designed for both entertaining and relaxation and truly embodies the beach lifestyle that is so characteristic of coastal Florida.

Timeless Architecture That Prioritizes Safety & Efficiency
Like all Benjamin P. Butera Inc. designs, this beautiful home prioritizes safety and compliance with local building codes. It has sturdy steel framing throughout and is rated to withstand CAT 5 hurricane wind speeds (200 mph). It is also equipped with impact windows rated to 180 mph, which offer powerful protection against strong tropical storms and lasting peace of mind. They not only enhance home security but also reduce noise, improve energy efficiency, and may even lower insurance costs.
