THE BATHORY-FROTA RESIDENCE

A Brief Overview

This Longwood, FL, whole-home remodel completely transformed a dark, dated residence into a bright, modern coastal retreat for a family newly relocated from Canada. The renovation reimagined the kitchen, living room, six bathrooms, grand foyer, home theater, and laundry room — establishing a single, cohesive design language across every space and delivering the light-filled Florida lifestyle the homeowners envisioned. 

Key Features:

The Vision

Having recently relocated from Canada, the clients envisioned a bright, modern coastal retreat that fully embraced the Florida lifestyle — but the home’s dark flooring, heavy cabinetry, and dated details told a different story. Despite its generous scale and strong layout, the space felt closed in and disconnected from how they wanted to live. 

The kitchen lacked both function and presence: a small enclosed pantry limited cabinetry, an irregular island disrupted flow, and an underutilized office nook took up valuable square footage. Off-center built-ins, an aging built-in jacuzzi, and a series of dated bathrooms left other key spaces equally out of step with their vision. 

The 3 Phase Process

Step 1

Design

Detailed plans and thoughtful designs were developed to reimagine every space in the home. Each room was studied individually and as part of the whole — refining flow, expanding footprints where it mattered, and layering finishes into a single, cohesive design language carried throughout. 

Step 2

Build

Existing flooring was removed throughout, walls were carefully demoed to expand the kitchen footprint and reshape the living room, and structural modifications were executed to support the new stone fireplace. Plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems were fully reconfigured to accommodate six renovated bathrooms, a steam shower, updated kitchen layout, and new lighting throughout. 

Step 3

Enjoy

The final result gave the family a home that fully embraces the Florida lifestyle they envisioned — bright, open, and effortlessly refined. Every space was designed to support the rhythm of everyday living while offering the perfect setting for entertaining, hosting family, and making the most of their new chapter in the sun. 

Brought to Life

Graceful Transitions

A stunning barrel-vaulted hallway connects the kitchen and dining spaces, creating an elegant look and seamless flow.

Spacious Mudroom

The newly designed mudroom provides a practical drop zone with direct garage access, abundant cabinetry, bench seating, and convenient hooks.

The renovation transformed a dark, dated residence into a bright, modern coastal retreat. Light hardwood flooring and a soft off-white palette established an airy foundation, while an expanded kitchen with a new square island and custom coffee bar created an effortless hub for daily life and entertaining. A symmetrical living room anchored by a large-scale stone fireplace, six fully renovated bathrooms led by a spa-inspired primary suite, and refined moments throughout the foyer, home theater, and laundry room deliver a cohesive home that perfectly reflects the Florida lifestyle our clients came here to build.
