Already own land
We design around your lot
Zoning, flood zone, utilities and any deed restrictions get confirmed before a design line is drawn. The build-on-your-lot guide walks the whole sequence.
Buildable plan

The plan
PALMA Collection, built for entertaining.

The PALMA Collection is a four-bedroom, three-bath plan across 2,285 square feet under air. It takes the same split arrangement as the Coastal in a tighter footprint: the primary suite alone on one side, the secondary suite and bedroom three on the other, and the fourth bedroom off the entry, where it works as a den or office.
It is a step up in space where it matters - eight-foot doors, an oversized island, and a covered lanai with a built-in outdoor kitchen. The three-car garage stays.
Modern coastal or contemporary, waterfront or not. The elevation is the part that changes most from lot to lot, and it is the part we work through with you first.
Because the footprint is tighter than the Coastal, the PALMA fits comfortably on lots where a wider plan would fight the setbacks - which makes it the most flexible of the three across different communities.
What comes with it
Standard on every home we build.
Every home includes a commercial-grade aluminum metal roof and PGT impact-resistant windows, built for Florida weather and built to lower your insurance and energy bills for as long as you own it. Integrated smart home technology for lighting, climate and security comes standard.
- Four bedrooms, split across the plan. The primary suite alone on one side, two bedrooms on the other.
- A fourth bedroom off the entry. Works as a den or a home office without cutting into the bedroom wing.
- Oversized island and eight-foot doors. The entertaining space is where this plan spends its square footage.
- Covered lanai with a built-in outdoor kitchen. Spanning the back of the house, screened and usable year round.
- Three-car garage. Kept at full size despite the tighter overall footprint.
- Customizable designer finishes. A curated palette to select from, with our team guiding the choices.
The elevation
How the PALMA meets the street.
One elevation is drawn for this plan today. Drag through the 4 views of it - the materials, the entry and the roof line are all worked through with you before permitting.
Stone and stucco
A stone entry surround under a standing-seam roof, with the garage set back from the door.
The front elevation
Stone entry, stucco walls, wood garage doors.

How the rooms fall on the lot.
Interior renderings for this plan are not published yet. The floor plan below is the drawn layout, and the dimensioned version comes with the fact sheet.
The floor plan
Where every room actually sits.
The primary suite takes one side with two walk-in closets and its own bath. The secondary suite and bedroom three sit opposite, and bedroom four opens off the entry where it works as a den. A bar runs between the garage and the kitchen, and the covered lanai spans the back of the great room. The plan can be mirrored before permitting to suit which way your lot faces.
Dimensions and the full standard specification come with the fact sheet - ask and we will send it.
Where you can build it
Anywhere we build, not one community.
The PALMA is a set of drawings, so where it goes is up to you and your lot. We build throughout Charlotte, Lee and Sarasota counties, anchored in Punta Gorda - including Burnt Store Lakes, Burnt Store Isles, Burnt Store Marina, Punta Gorda Isles, Pirate Harbor and Deep Creek.
Still looking
We help you find one
James holds a Florida Real Estate Broker license, so lot search is part of the same conversation rather than a separate one you have to run yourself.
Across the coast
Five markets, one team
Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Cape Coral, Fort Myers and Sarasota.
The collections
Three plans, one standard.
Every collection carries four bedrooms and a three-car garage, the same roof and the same impact glass. What changes is the footprint, the bath count, and how the rooms are arranged around the way you live.

Questions
The PALMA, answered.
Yes. It is a plan, not a place. The PALMA can go on any suitable lot in Southwest Florida - yours or one we help you find - and it can be mirrored to suit which way your land faces.
No. If you already own land, we design around it. If you do not, James's Florida Real Estate Broker license means we can help you evaluate and find the right lot before you buy.
Same split-suite thinking, smaller footprint: 2,285 square feet under air against the Coastal's 2,600, and three baths rather than three and a half. The Coastal carries two full primary suites; the PALMA has one primary plus a secondary suite.
Finishes and selections are personalized with our team as standard. Structural changes are possible before permitting, so raise them early - in a deed-restricted community the association reviews plans before the county issues the building permit.
Yes - it is on this page, and the dimensioned version comes with the fact sheet. Ask and we will send it.
