large windows made from impact glass and a pagoda-style tower. The
low pitched hitched roof also echoes the Asian flare and incorporates
contemporary styling. The eaves are hand carved out of cedar beams
and the porches have cedar plank ceilings. The copper gutters and
casings can endure the environment and add a beautiful finish to the
exterior. The striking blue J-tiles on the roof were imported from Japan
and are hand glazed and baked three times to achieve their unique
blue color.
The Hulihans wanted their new home to have plenty of room for
entertaining while being a tranquil calm living space for spending
time together as a family. This philosophy is obvious when you walk
in the front door. Visitors are greeted in the entryway by glass double
doors and a fountain made from copper, bronze and stone. Water
features represent good feng shui attracting wealth and abundance.
Once inside the home, the image of serenity, tranquility and calm
pervades, with every room having a view of the Intracoastal Waterway,
the lagoon or both.
The kitchen was designed for gourmet cooking and the Viking
cooktop even has a wok burner. The custom cabinets have display
areas for the Hulihans’ museum quality coral collection. The outdoor
living spaces are simply stunning with an expansive covered portico,
huge summer kitchen, fireplace, meditation garden, award winning
infinity pool with two fire braziers.
While living abroad, the Hulihans started collecting art from the
many countries they visited. The home was designed to display the
Hulihan’s eclectic art collection, with gallery style walls and lighted
niches.
Even the handmade glass light fixtures and floating staircase can be
considered art. The home has a detached guest suite with his and her
garages. This is a truly extraordinary home in a serene setting.
