What can I say... This 1971 Dan Duckham designed home is a masterpiece of architectural design. Barely a piece of drywall in the entire home. Not a single straight wall either. The home sits on a lagoon with a pool literally built into the lagoon itself. Amazing indoor outdoor feel throughout. Unique features like built in furniture and an amazing circular bubble window in the living room. Pics speak for themselves.

Take this story about the Parliament lodge in Orlando for example. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/opinion/guest-commentary/os-op-parliament-house-demolition-losing-gay-landmark-20201112-inuhsfda6bflvj7jjfpq6ur7ye-story.html New owners, particularly in commercial real estate, are finding highest and best use is demolition. Of course this isn't limited to only commercial. Many who follow MCM homes in Tampa Bay still miss Paul Rudolph's Leavengood residence on Park St. in St. Petersburg. https://www.paulrudolphheritagefoundation.org/195006-leavengood-residence It was one of the few structures Ruldolph, leader of the Sarasota school of Architecture, designed in the Bay area. To the best of our knowledge at Tampa Bay Modern Homes, there is only one of his designs left in Tampa Bay which is located in Thonotosassa. Another member of the Sarasota school who was much more prolific in Tampa Bay was Mark Hampton. He has many buildings around town still standing from schools to private residences. But that too is changing. A commercial building of his was recently raised on Florida Ave. in Tampa. This building had been modified from its original architecture for several years but it is now gone. Mid-century modern buildings are eligible for protected status from the National Registry of Historic Places and we would love to see some in the area tagged before they are torn down. What are some modern structures in Tampa Bay you would like to see tagged? What a better way to start up the blog again then to look at some houses?!
https://stellar.mlsmatrix.com/DE.asp?ID=DE-560914821437&agt=1 Here is a mix of currently active mid-century modern properties from all around the bay area. You have a great little MCM on a lake in Land O' Lakes for... https://stellar.mlsmatrix.com/DE.asp?ID=DE-561235660179&eml=dGZvbHoxN0BnbWFpbC5jb20= This one went under contract in just a couple of days. After years of asking our MLS service to add more modern searchables, they have finally added a mid-century modern architecture tag. That helps a lot but I still go through and search areas one by one. After working with MCM homes for several years, I have narrowed down which areas have them for the most part. This home in Pasco, however, still shows that there are several out there as one offs. The former Mayor of St. Petersburgs home is quite interesting if you want to see the high end of prices. Tampa Bay Modern Homes can help you find that modern house you are looking for or get your modern home to the people who are looking to buy. We will be updating this list every Friday. Tampa Bay modern homes will be undergoing a revamp over the next several days. What you can expect? Daily blog posts, new images and tons of new resources and guides to help with your modern home.
