TOTeMS Architecture presents symphonic Casey Keys Guest House

By Springer, of ArchitectureLinked.com

In a mature oak hammock along Sarasota Bay, the architecture of the Casey Key Guest House is inspired by the forms of the oaks, which have been shaped by the prevailing coastal winds from the west.   The Florida-based firm TOTeMS Architecture designed the home to be a “house in the trees,” with curved glulam pine beams that reflect the arching quality of the live oak limbs.  The small structure includes one bedroom, one bath, a living area with kitchenette, and a loft.  It also provides privacy between a neighboring property to the north, while offering broad views of the oak hammock to the south and west, and the intercoastal waterway to the east.
