functionality with form, old with new, innovation

many jaw dropping attributes—from cantilevered
construction and sleek finishes to architectural
elements and design bearing the handiwork of some
of the very best minds in the business—the vision

but a home to be lived in and loved. “This house
was designed to be a living house, and we really
do use the entire house,” says Bill. “There are no
wasted areas and no rooms that are kept only for
display. We’re active people, with an active family
and an active lifestyle, so we designed the house to
accommodate that.”
The founder of Destin Plastic Surgery, Bill’s
stream of work as a renowned plastic surgeon
certainly keeps his schedule full—as does Pam’s
own current role as property manager and social
manager keep her days operating at a high pace.
