A Classic Time Piece

The T.H. Mitchell House by Seibert Architects is recognized in the article

"The Once and Future House"

from the Style Magazine A Magazine of the Herald-Tribune March 2009

By Marty Fugate

The article walks you through the home, detailing every encounter and the man accountable for it - with always having a great story to tell behind every piece.

"The lines are clean and the materials honest; a simple, rectilinear geometry of glass, white Ocala block and white fir post and beams."

"New Owner Michael Cichon is the man responsible. An avid art collector and art dealer, he's equally in love with the art of yesterday and today. Ancient tribal masks and figures bump shoulders with contemporary paintings, photographs and sculptures. It all looks great in this timeless house."

Cichon had purchased the house in 2003 with ambitions of restoring a lost civilization's timepiece.

"Cichon got to work, 'I took a utility blade to the rug...' Cichon kept working, but not alone. Architect Sam Holladay, AIA at Seibert Architects coordinated the restoration"

"For Cichon, it's the perfect house. There's 1560 square feet of interior space and 940 square feet of patio space, but it's all the house he needs. Nothing needs to be added, nothing could be taken away without hurting it. And that's how he defines perfection."

Cichon continues to say,

"Keep it honest - nothing fake. It's a good policy for architecture, and a good policy for life."
