This 5,500 square foot canal-side residence in Punta Gorda, FL evokes the local Spanish Colonial vernacular style with its terra-cotta roof tiles and grand archways.

An open floor plan blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. Large glass expanses frame views from balcony to open living/dining area to the pool and yard beyond, connecting this active family to their boat dock on the waterways of the Gulf of Mexico.
