BOCA RATON, Fla. -- A recent customer satisfaction survey by J.D. Power and Associates ranked Minto Communities number one in new home design in the Palm Beach County area. Boca Raton-based Affiniti Architects created the winning designs for Minto to better meet the needs of today’s changing real estate market. The designs incorporate beloved, circa-1920s-style architecture with floor plans that fit today’s lifestyles.

To make Minto’s products stand out in a slowed real estate market, Affiniti increased the quality of the homes beyond the usual standards for production models. Minto accepted and embraced the concept that investing more in the quality of each home will bring a desirable return. “Our goal was to help Minto achieve a better bottom line through increased customer satisfaction,” says Benjamin Schreier, AIA, a partner in Affiniti. “Quality is always a winning component.”

AFFINITI ARCHITECTS
DESIGNS HOME FOR BUILDER’S FAMILY

BOCA RATON, Fla.—Affiniti Architects has designed a family home now under construction for the personal use of Buddy Cribb, a major South Florida builder.

Built on 10 acres of land, the home at Jupiter Farms will have 10,000 total square feet, with 6,700 under air. Features include five garage bays split in a three-two configuration, a media room, living and dining rooms, a screened dog run with a doggy door that can be shuttered for hurricanes, and a “safe room” in which the ceiling as well as the walls are poured concrete.

The architectural style is Carolina low country, with Hardi board siding to look like wood and large front and rear porches. Outbuildings will include a 5,000-square-foot stable for eight horses, and the long driveway will curve around equine jumping rings.

BOCA RATON, Fla.—Affiniti Architects is expanding further into the global marketplace with a variety of commissions in the Bahamas. Affiniti is one of the only U.S. architectural firms licensed to consult there, which they do through their affiliate firm, Affiniti Architects Bahamas Limited.

On Rum Cay, Affiniti is designing five single-family model homes ranging from 3,500 to 5,500 square feet of living area. Each residence will have a different, unique floor plan with elevation styles from all parts of the Caribbean. The designs include courtyard, pod, cabana, beach and great house. Affiniti is also designing a 13,000-square-foot beach clubhouse to serve the luxury community. The designs are being developed by Ron Rickert, AIA, the firm’s managing partner for the region.

At Emerald Bay on Great Exuma, Affiniti is designing a uniquely modern, single-family home with a simple tropical flair. The residence will overlook the Four Seasons ocean-side championship golf course designed by the legendary Greg Norman, and the famous Emerald Bay, with its clear turquoise water.

Affiniti is also consulting on the design of the single-family residences associated with Cotton Bay on Eleuthera. Cotton Bay is one of Starwood Hotels’ Luxury Collection of resorts. Preliminary designs for one of the ocean-view residences are complete, with two additional projects pending.

In addition, Affiniti is working on plans for a custom oceanfront residence located on the famous Cat Cay, just south of Bimini.

5 NEW HOMES IN EAST BOCA RATON

BOCA RATON, Fla.—Affiniti Architects has designed five homes, all within walking distance of each other, in a conveniently located, east Boca Raton neighborhood. The homes are less than a mile from the town hall and the library, and a five-minute drive from dining and shopping at Mizner Park and Royal Palm Plaza.

The two-story homes being developed by Elizabeth and Bobby Delfan of Peregreene Construction will feature Florida vernacular and Key West, island-style architecture with balconies, large windows and light-filled spaces. The lower levels will be constructed of stucco. The upper levels will be built with simulated board planking, a cement product that is impervious to moisture and insects, yet perfectly mimics the appearance of wood. Above the garages will be “in-law” suites or studio spaces with their own private entrances.

AFFINITI ARCHITECTS TO DESIGN UPSIDE-DOWN HOME

BOCA RATON, Fla.— A house that’s upside down? Well, not quite. But Affiniti Architects in Boca Raton has been commissioned to design a waterfront home on Jupiter Island that will have bedrooms on the first floor, and common living areas like the kitchen and living, dining, and family rooms on the second floor.

The unusual design that is the opposite of traditional two-story layouts makes the most efficient use of a sloping oceanfront lot. The water view is much more visible from the second floor, where most daytime activities will take place, than from the first floor, where the homeowners will sleep.

One hundred for-sale hotel condo suites will be located individually throughout the property, which will include natural lush, indigenous vegetation and a 50-foot-high hill. No cars will be allowed past the gatehouse, and all power and water will be produced onsite. Visitors will experience traditional Bahamian culture while helping to preserve it.

24,000-square-foot multi-generational home among architect’s commissions

BOCA RATON, Fla. — A 24,000-square-foot, country-style home designed to house three generations is among the new commissions recently accepted by Benjamin Schreier, AIA. Schreier is a partner in Affiniti Architects, a full-service architectural firm headquartered n Boca Raton.

The home will have separate wings that allow an extended family to live together during holidays and vacations and still have privacy. Among the features: a children’s study area that evokes the ambience of a 1920s railroad clerk’s office, and a decorative tin ceiling in the family room. The dramatic foyer has a sweeping staircase defined by a unique iron railing with metal dowels attached to the sides of the steps.

Affiniti Architects has offices in Boca Raton, Tampa, and the Bahamas. The firm has earned more than 200 national and regional design awards for residential architecture, including numerous “Best of Show” awards from the South Florida Builder’s Association.

BOCA RATON, Fla.- Ben Schreier, AIA, recently accepted a commission to design a 10,000-square-foot, oceanfront spec home in Delray Beach for luxury builder Mark Timothy, Inc. Schreier is a partner in Affiniti Architects, a full-service architectural firm headquartered in Boca Raton.

The Georgian design is part of a trend Schreier sees toward northern-style architecture in South Florida. “The home will be elegant and understated, with Georgian moldings, bandings and proportions, but with an exterior of Florida stucco instead of traditional brick,” he said. “These more northern-style designs are becoming alternatives to Mediterranean and island-style architecture.”

The home will have three loggias overlooking the ocean featuring a summer kitchen, a dining area, comfortable seating and a fireplace. The two garages will be air-conditioned. “Air-conditioned garages are something that many discerning home buyers are asking for today,” Schreier said. “They expect more comfort, more luxurious finishes, and higher quality in every area.”

Mark Timothy, Inc. has been building homes priced between $15 million and $40 million for 18 years. Just a few months ago, the firm offered a spec home priced at $20 million for sale and almost immediately had four offers on it, including one that was $1 million higher than his asking price.

The Delray Beach home that Schreier is designing will be of a similar genre, and one of three oceanfront spec homes in Palm Beach County that Mark Timothy, Inc. will offer over the next 18 months. “I’m building them because I’m confident that the buyers will be there,” he said.

Affiniti Architects is located at 6100 Broken Sound Parkway NW, Suite 8 in Boca Raton. For more information, call 561-750-0445 or visit www.AffinitiArchitects.com.
