This Gulf-front home showcases careful design, construction, and style for spectacular results. F rom the Gulf-side porches of Alex and Kim Pruitt's new beach home, a tapestry of grasses and flowers weaves over the dunes
QUALITY COLLABORATORS
The San Antonio, Texas, couple built this Gulf-front home at Cinnamon Shore South after owning a home with distant Gulf views at Cinnamon Shore North for years. The former home’s floor plan by a previous owner had never quite met their family’s needs, and they had pined for Gulf-front sights and sounds. When Gulf sites opened at “South,” they turned to architect Bill Davies of Davies Collaborative in Austin, Texas, Waggoner Custom Homes of Port Aransas, Texas, and Interior Designer Paige Schnell of Tracery Interiors in Inlet Beach, Florida. “We admired Paige’s work
in a green swath that complements sand and surf. In addition to the direct Gulf view they had longed for, this close-up dune view was a pleasant surprise. “Being Gulf-front gives us a new appreciation of the beauty of the dunes, with flowers, cattails, and changes in the vegetation depending on the season,” Kim says. After close collaboration with a top-tier design-build team, the couple enjoys all aspects of the view from Blue Havana, a three-story masterpiece, and the home itself is a wonder.
