Malugen House in Rosemary Beach, FloridaRarely does such a GEM of residential craftsmanship realize! This home, built in the lovely Rosemary Beach, FL is in our backyard, and it is filled with architectural woodwork and other forms of beauty both in the interior and the exterior.

Overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, a residence influenced by the grand plantation houses of the Caribbean sits in the New Urbanist resort town of Rosemary Beach, FL. Minimally ornamented on the exterior, the Malugen House fits perfectly with its neighbors, while making a unique statement through a subtle mix of color and texture from its white stucco walls and dark stained timberwork.

A project this beautiful doesn’t come often and it doesn’t come without a visionary designer and awesome client to support such an undertaking. Having recently posted an image online of the kitchen, the buzz has been quite overwhelming and much of the credit should be attributed to Phillip Sides – the designer responsible for this amazing work of art in WaterColor, Florida.

Hand hewn salvaged beams from Louisiana, antique fumed white oak plank flooring from South Carolina, pecky cypress reclaimed from the swamps of the Apalachicola River in the big bend of Florida…the list goes on as does the adjectives. Where words come up short, the photography excels. Again, our thanks to our customer and the opportunity to work with a truly gifted designer - Phillip Sides.
