Bay Shore Road House Featured in Florida Green Building
We are featured on the cover of Florida Green Building magazine. From the article: "Six years ago architect Terry Green took a trip to Bali, and was so inspired by the architecture, he incorporated Balinese design concepts into a home he built on By Shore Road, in Sarasota. This 3,600-square-foot home stands out for both its beauty and energy-efficiency." Click Here to see the rest of the feature article.
Green, in name and design
By Harold Bubil
Back in 1969, when Terry Green was still cleaning up from the “muddy mess” he encountered at the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, he was becoming interested in the ecology.
Around that time, he was reading about counterculture lifestyle practices in the Whole Earth Catalog. And, while an architecture student at the University of Florida, he wrote his thesis on self-sustainable community design.
So it follows, especially given his surname, that he has built a green house in Sarasota’s Museum District, on Bay Shore Road. Built on speculation, the 3,600-square-foot house recently won several awards for its design.
“‘Green’ is not that new of a thing for me,” said the architect. “I did a solar-passive home in 1980 in North Carolina. I was using radiant barriers in the 1980s in houses in Sarasota. My thesis in college was on an alternative-lifestyle community. We didn’t use the word ‘green’ then, but it was a project that was self-sustainable, with rammed-earth walls and geodesic domes, that kind of thing.”

Cape Leyte Remodel (click here for more photos)
A beautiful remodel on Cape Leyte on Siesta Key - the client, from Germany and wanted a truly modern look. They visit with their young children every year and needed clean maintenance-free modern living. Accented with a splash of a different color in each room complemented by the furnishings. All new infrastructure, kitchens and baths.
Sun Circle House (click here for more photos)
This house was completely renovated in 1997- here are some before and after pictures - one of the most successful pools I have ever designed, with a 46' lap lane, a one foot deep lounging area for young children and relaxing adults, and highlighted by a splashing waterfall - all encircled by tropical palms and bamboos. The house was originally a 1954 2/1, typical for it's time with small encapsulated rooms that I opened up into a modern style home. We added a master bedroom suite with closet, master bath, guest bath, and vaulted ceilings. For the interior there is extensive use of bamboo trim and cabinets. The Living Room and Kitchen both open up to covered porches which interface with the tropical landscaping.
The style is what I call "Key West Craftsman" style.

GOLD WINNER - BAYSHORE “GREEN” HOUSE -Terry G. Green, Architect
The inspiration for this project came from the Balinese concept of detached “Bale” pavilions—an architecture form representative of separate living zones. The Balinese style of architecture exemplifies a strong link between the indoors and outdoors and is achieved in this house through the use of a series of high French doors that open directly onto heavily shaded porches on the second floor and to the pool/patio on the first floor. The true focus of this house is the pool/patio area with features such as two waterfalls, a connecting bridge to the guest suite and a cooking/dining pavilion. The project is certified by the Florida Green Building Coalition.

A beautiful example of Florida Green Architecture on Bayshore Road, Sarasota Florida.
Open outdoor living is emphasized by integrating the house with the natural Florida environment. Most of the rooms have “French” glass doors, opening to patios, pools or waterscapes. Upper level rooms open to heavily shaded private decks.
Terry G. Green - Architect - Philosophy of design
I strive to create original high quality designs that honor their unique setting; that represent a sensitivity to environmental sustainability: and that reflect the individual character of the Owner’s lifestyle.
