Villa di la Rosa

Appropriately named “Villa di la Rosa,” the large scale of this 6,000-square-foot Italianate villa is reduced to a relaxed environment by intimate and casual interior spaces. With concrete masonry walls and poured-in-place concrete exterior porches and stairs, this home is designed to withstand the harsh natural elements that the Gulf Coast region can experience. As a beachfront residence, it was vital for all living spaces and bedrooms to have water views. Generous porches on the second and third floors are inviting places to take in the sights, sounds, and breezes of Carillon Beach on the westernmost side of Panama City Beach, Florida.
