As put in the Sunday January 18, 2009 edition of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune Michael Saunders & Company section:
"Textbook Modern"
"...Mediterranean Revival is not a Florida home-grown style..."
The article continues to state that there is a Floridian style that emanated from the mid twentieth century having roots here in Sarasota. Known as the Sarasota School of Architecture, this style of deep overhangs, flat roofs, large movable glass walls, floating planes that give the sense of light and airiness can be found through-out Sarasota. This iconic time period took prominent from the 1940s through the late 1960 early 1970s and forming fathers were Ralph Twitchell, Paul Rudolph, Mark Hampton, Victor Lundy, Gene Leedy, and our very own Tim Seibert whom founded Seibert Architects.
The article continues by talking about Seibert Archtects' remodeled and addition to 250 Bird Key Drive House.
"...in the style of the Sarasota School of Architecture; its clean lines and open feeling true to that renowned style. The dramatic foyer is visible as you approach the home and, once inside the walls of glass drink-in its lush setting even as the home delivers maximum privacy."
250 Bird Key Drive House was a remodel and addition done by Samuel Holladay AIA, Dale S. Parks AIA, and Pamela Holladay ASID.
