Where Architecture Becomes Art. A Rare Expression of Luxury Living.
Some homes are built to impress. Others are designed to be remembered. Clive Daniel Home Sarasota interior designer Kelli Smith, in collaboration with luxury builder John Cannon Homes, proudly unveils The Oulina—a bold contemporary residence that redefines modern waterfront living at Kingfisher Estates in Lakewood Ranch.
From the moment you step inside, The Oulina reveals itself not simply as a home, but as a curated experience—one that merges architecture and interior design in a seamless expression of modern sophistication. With its crisp geometry, expansive walls of glass, and effortless indoor-outdoor flow, the residence feels open, luminous, and sculptural—yet unmistakably warm.
The Oulina’s design is rooted in modern minimalism, this is where architecture becomes atmosphere but elevated through intentional contrast. Clean lines and sharp structural forms are softened through rich materials, layered finishes, and a carefully composed palette that gives the home its signature mood.
Inside, the atmosphere is defined by a bold mix of deep-sea blues, soft luminous whites, and the refined warmth of brushed bronze accents. Texture plays a starring role—bringing dimension to every space through sleek stone surfaces, custom wood details, and tactile furnishings that invite comfort while maintaining architectural clarity.
Rather than overwhelming the home’s modern framework, the design amplifies it—allowing every finish, every fixture, and every detail to feel purposeful.
At the heart of the residence, is a statement kitchen and open-concept living space, both dramatic and inviting. Sleek cabinetry and modern surfaces create a streamlined foundation, while layered lighting and warm wood tones add depth and sophistication.
Striking contemporary pendants float above the kitchen like functional art, while reflective finishes and ambient underlighting add an elevated glow that transitions effortlessly from day to evening. Every element—from the placement of furnishings to the flow of the space—supports the home’s entertaining-forward lifestyle.
Large glass sliders dissolve the boundaries between inside and out, allowing natural light to become a design feature.
The primary suite is a sanctuary of calm modern refinement. Designed with clean silhouettes and an elevated sense of serenity, the bedroom captures the surrounding waterfront views while offering a layered sense of intimacy.
In the bathroom, the design reaches a new level of architectural drama. A sculptural freestanding tub rests atop a striking stone platform, illuminated from beneath to create the sensation that the space itself is floating. Glossy surfaces, glass enclosures, and bold stone selections transform the room into a spa-inspired retreat—both modern and indulgent.
While The Oulina’s architecture makes a bold statement, its interiors reveal an equally thoughtful softness. Throughout the home, intimate design moments—such as a curated reading nook and tailored lounge areas—introduce comfort without compromising the modern aesthetic.
It is this balance of boldness and warmth that makes The Oulina exceptional: modern design that feels elevated, but still livable.
“The Oulina is a celebration of bold modernity paired with livable elegance,” says Kelli Smith, Interior Designer at Clive Daniel Home Sarasota. “Every material, every finish, every detail was selected to honor simplicity—while elevating the experience of everyday living.”
The Oulina reflects the shared commitment to excellence between Clive Daniel Home and John Cannon Homes—two leaders in luxury design and construction.
“Choosing to partner with Clive Daniel Home was a clear choice for us,” said John Cannon, President and CEO of John Cannon Homes. “Their award-winning interior designers mirror our own uncompromising craftsmanship and dedication to creating custom dream homes.”
More than a residence, The Oulina is a statement of contemporary luxury—where architecture and interiors are designed as one cohesive vision. Every space reflects intention. Every material tells a story. Every detail contributes to an atmosphere of understated drama and refined elegance.
The result is a home that feels both timeless and forward-thinking—crafted for those who see luxury not as excess, but as precision.
