A Sculptural Waterfront Residence Takes Shape in Naples

In Naples’ sought-after Conners waterfront community, LivModern is bringing an ambitious custom residence to life—one shaped by its coastal setting, bold contemporary architecture, and several highly complex construction features.
Located at 104 Conners Avenue, the project represents an important expression of LivModern’s growing presence in Southwest Florida. It brings the company’s design-forward perspective and hands-on building approach to a residence created specifically for the Naples waterfront lifestyle.
Designing for an Exceptional Waterfront Setting
The home’s clean horizontal lines, expansive glass, and natural limestone create a refined contemporary composition. Its orientation takes full advantage of the waterfront setting, establishing a visual connection to the water throughout the residence.
Broad openings and carefully planned transitions will allow the interior living spaces to extend naturally toward the outdoor environment. The result will be a home that feels open and connected to its surroundings while still providing privacy, comfort, and a clear architectural identity.
The waterfront is not treated simply as a view. It is central to how the home is planned, experienced, and constructed.
A Custom Three-Story Spiral Staircase
At the center of the residence is one of its most distinctive architectural features: a custom spiral staircase extending through all three levels of the home.
More than a functional connection between floors, the staircase is being developed as a sculptural centerpiece. Its sweeping form introduces movement into the home’s clean geometry and creates a dramatic visual relationship among the different levels.
Executing a feature of this scale requires close coordination among the architect, engineers, fabricators, trade partners, and construction team. Structure, geometry, materials, installation sequencing, and finish details must all work together with
precision.
It is exactly the kind of custom element that demonstrates the importance of connecting design intent with practical construction expertise early in the process.
Turning Architectural Complexity Into a Cohesive Home
A residence of this caliber is defined by much more than its individual statement features. Every major architectural decision affects the systems and details surrounding it. Large expanses of glass must be integrated with structural requirements and Florida’s demanding building standards. Natural stone, custom millwork, lighting, mechanical systems, and finish transitions must align across multiple levels. Waterfront conditions introduce additional considerations that must be addressed throughout planning and construction.
LivModern’s role is to bring these moving parts together through experienced oversight, close collaboration, and attention to the details that will ultimately determine how the completed home looks, feels, and functions.
Building a Special Home Requires the Right Partnership
The homeowners were looking for a builder capable of creating a truly special residence in a unique waterfront location—one with ambitious architectural ideas and demanding construction requirements.
That search led them to LivModern.
“We knew this home would require a builder we could trust completely—someone who could understand our vision, respect the significance of the waterfront setting, and successfully navigate the project’s complex architectural and construction requirements. From the beginning, Dominic, David, and the entire LivModern team have given us tremendous confidence in both the vision and the process. Their experience, transparency, collaborative approach, and commitment to every detail have made them exceptional partners. We trust them wholeheartedly and could not be more pleased with the way they are bringing this very special home to life.”
— Mike and Jeannine Fontana
As the project continues to take shape, the relationship between the home and its setting is becoming increasingly clear. The sweeping staircase, layered geometry, natural materials, expansive glass, and waterfront orientation are coming together as parts of one cohesive vision.
When completed, 104 Conners Avenue will be more than a contemporary waterfront home. It will be a highly personal residence defined by architectural confidence, thoughtful construction, and details created specifically for the people and place it serves.
