Waterfront Modern Estate in Stuart, FL | Custom Home by Affiniti Architects

This custom waterfront estate in Stuart, Florida showcases the modern tropical design expertise of Affiniti Architects. Located on a private riverfront parcel, the home balances resort-style living with clean architectural lines and indoor-outdoor integration. Large expanses of glass, deep overhangs, and natural materials define its modern coastal aesthetic.

The open living room features double-height ceilings, wood cladding, and panoramic views of the river through floor-to-ceiling windows. A dramatic circular chandelier and sculptural furniture add character without overpowering the space. Outdoors, the seamless transition continues with covered lounge areas and a waterfront lawn designed for unobstructed views and ocean breezes.

This Florida mansion sits among palms and landscaped gardens that connect every corner of the property. Multiple seating zones overlook the pool, while shaded terraces provide protection from the sun and privacy from neighbors. Every outdoor space is arranged to maximize views and ventilation, showcasing Affiniti’s signature spatial planning.

Custom elements throughout the home include a floating glass staircase, sculptural wood ceilings, and architectural lighting integrated into the structure. The material palette includes limestone cladding, stained wood, and architectural louvers. The clean lines and warm tones create a refined yet relaxed feel throughout.

This home was designed for both privacy and openness. The layout orients the main living areas toward the river, while guest suites and secondary spaces are placed for comfort and separation. Glass walls and large openings provide constant visual access to nature, while deep rooflines create protected zones of shade. These features are not just aesthetic—they are climate-adaptive, addressing Florida’s intense light and heat.

Located in Stuart, a quiet town on Florida’s Treasure Coast, the site offers water access and lush surroundings, making it ideal for a home of this scale. Every angle of the house is designed to frame the natural beauty of the location. The home’s position on the lot, the orientation of walls and windows, and the layout of gardens all reflect Affiniti’s precision in site-specific design.
