Outdoor Living Design By Steve Murray For the majority of people moving to Florida, drinking a cocktail and flipping the steaks on the barby whilst looking out over their pool or bayfront view is their idea of utopia. Every day begins and ends the same way….enjoying their outdoor living space. As a result, over the years we have seen a trend in how homes have integrated lanais, covered decks and pool areas into the overall flow of the home. Homes built inland typically have more land and are less restricted on lot coverage allowing large living and eating areas under […]

Out With The Old, In With The New By Steve Murray For as long as I have been building in Sarasota, stretching back to 1995, architectural trends have been fairly staid and proponents of “evolution” rather than “revolution”. The “Spanish-Med” style that has adorned so many of our new subdivisions and neighborhoods has finally been laid to rest. Almost. There are still some models and new construction homes that display the applied foam trim, earthy colors and Corinthian columns that is the hallmark of that style of architecture. But there is a new movement in Sarasota being facilitated by our […]
Why Build Now? By Steve Murray It was about three years ago that I began to notice….there were less speculative phone calls from people asking about building new custom homes on the waterfront. At the time we were really busy, but in construction the long lead time means that if you are not getting the phone calls today, then you are not going to be busy in a year’s time. In addition, we began to get more calls for remodeling or renovating existing houses which is typically due to the fact that people are not moving, are not buying lots […]

Masterfully designed by renowned architect Cliff Scholz and constructed by the skilled team of Murray Homes this exceptional residence radiates utmost sophistication through pure design and unsurpassed quality construction.
Historic Versus Old By Steve Murray There is something about a historic car, boat or house that triggers the romantic in most of us…a 1956 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, a 1933 J-Class America’s Cup yacht or an 1850’s restored row house. Yet, “old” does not necessarily mean “good”. There are many old cars out there that you wouldn’t want to own, many boats that should probably be put out of their misery and there are certainly many old houses that would be best taken down rather than renovated. However, as with cars and yachts, certain houses that were designed and built […]

Are You Protecting Your Home? By Steve Murray As we enter into the cooler weather and with it the end of the hurricane season, we can be thankful for a quiet year during 2009. Not once this year did we have to stop work at our job sites and prepare the half-built structures for a possible “big wind”. Not only is this good news for our tourist trade and local economy, but it allows the CAT Fund, underwritten by Florida taxpayers, to carry over to next year without paying out for a natural disaster. Yet more importantly, it is good […]
