5861 GULF
The Horizon in View
5861 Gulf is a timeless and elegant oceanfront estate slated to begin construction in late 2021 on Longboat Key, Florida.
Comprised of four main components, the home is creatively connected to allow for a resort-style guest experience: main living, guest house, attached bedroom wing, and owners level. The floorplan incorporates natural light, interior plant areas, communal gathering areas, private moments, and easy connections to the ever-present ocean views and sea breezes.
5861 Gulf is a contemporary home that exudes Zen-like calm in a tropical jungle garden located on over an acre beachfront estate on Longboat Key.

THE ESTATE
A Singular Opportunity
The unique property consists of 100’ of frontage and close to 500’ of depth for a gulf front estate of over one acre. This extremely rare parcel allows for an unusual approach to creating a retreat for everyday living and family gatherings. As the last estate lot on Longboat Key, this is a singular opportunity to experience the true Gulf coast experience.
THE RESIDENCE
Tropical Modernism for the Gulf Coast of Florida
The architectural direction was influenced by Tropical Modernism, Balinese, Hawaiian, and Indonesian style, but 5861 Gulf is uniquely designed for the gulf coast. These architectural influences guided the design team towards clean lines, honest construction methods, natural materials, rugged textures and an emphasis on breezes, natural light, outdoor living, and lush vegetation. The house utilizes rough stone, smooth plaster, and natural woods to form an architecture that will endure - a compound for generations to come.
THE FLOOR PLANS
Floor Plans for Gathering
The design of the house is one that above all prioritizes the things that matter — privacy, respite, calm, and connection to the landscape. The three floors offer a gradient of public to private spaces always framing the unobstructed view of coast and horizon.
