Opening up indoor spaces to extend living areas outdoors brings a resort feel to the backyard. Screened lanais, lagoon pools and waterfalls provide scenic environments for entertaining and relaxing. Summer kitchens have evolved to offer a variety of cooking options. Stylish outdoor furnishings enhanced by fire pits and outdoor entertainment systems afford a serene setting to enjoy the sunshine, tropical landscapes and warm water year round. tHE MastEr suitE It's the "suite" life, indeed, when you invest in an opulent, spa-like experience within the master suite. Perhaps the most important part of the residence is the master bedroom, a private retreat to refresh and recharge. There are so many beautiful baths to choose from, with a variety of amenities. Cleanse yourself in a multi-head steam shower or relax in the sauna in a sanctuary adorned with stone, glass, polished metals and luxurious furnishings. It always feels like a "stay-cation" in these coveted spaces. PErsOnaL PrEFErEnCE Each home reveals its own personality through distinct characteristics. It's human nature to want something uniquely our own, and a home is no exception. Whether it's a meditation garden, a home theater, a fitness center or basketball court, the features create the style of living for its residents. The most intriguing trend in home design may be the move toward conscious living. Energy saving technologies, such as solar water heating and solar electricity, skylights, tinted windows and energy-efficient landscaping, are all helping to reduce home energy use as cost-effectively as possible.
