9403 Gulf Drive, Anna Maria, Florida

Next door to its sibling on Gulf Drive, this property answers the same brief with a different accent: water on both sides of the house.

The pool takes a winding, lazy-river-inspired form with a private spa worked into it, sitting inside a deck that runs to a putting green on one edge and a lanai on the other. Behind the house a private dock opens the property to the water for boats, which changes what a day here can be. The rooftop deck collects the whole thing, with water views in more than one direction.

Elements designed it so the built water and the real water read as one idea rather than two.
