See the New Face of Home Construction in St. Petersburg and Gulfport

Searching for your new dream home in St. Petersburg, Gulfport, St. Pete Beach, or other coastal communities around our Sunshine City? It can be a struggle to find the features and characteristics you want in many traditional (and often limited) floor plans. Fortunately, there are custom home builders in Pinellas County who specialize in a full-service construction experience, like Winway Homes. Our innovative architects and builders are changing the face of new constructions in St. Pete. We offer a wide array of floor plans, and each one can be fully customized to your exact specifications.

Take, for example, our new model home, which has been customized to blend modern comforts with timeless luxury. This includes the Chef’s Kitchen equipped with high-end Bosch appliances, as well as a spa-inspired Master Suite with an electronic-control shower and a freestanding tub. The new model home is also crafted for coastal living, including an outdoor oasis with a custom saltwater pool. Welcome to the new face of home construction in Pinellas County!

In this blog, we’ll walk you through some of the creative features used to create this truly custom home and other distinctive dwellings for our Winway clients. These are just a few of the ways that a local, custom home builder can deliver more value for your new home investment, including designing and building homes that are just as uniquely beautiful as Pinellas County.

More Choices to Customize Your New Home

Spend any time on Pinterest or Reddit, and you’ll quickly discover new home constructions with more choices for unique design aesthetics. For example, our designers created the Winway model home with herringbone flooring for a distinctive pattern, along with upgraded black railing, unique finishes, and carefully thought-out light fixtures — all the things you would never find in a traditional spec home.

Here are some other ways that Winway Homes can personalize each custom home to your lifestyle.

Two Master Suite Homes

Why limit yourself to one master suite when you can have two? Our Winway model home has two master suites, including one downstairs that’s perfect for children or other family members, in addition to the master bedroom suite upstairs.

This design trend is a way to future-proof your home as your family’s needs change. And doubling your master suite is a way to double your home amenities, like large luxurious walk-in closets and bathrooms that no longer need to be relegated to only one room in the home.

Main-Level Master Suites

Gone are the days of cramming every bedroom upstairs. First-floor master homes afford the ease and comfort of a master bedroom on the ground level. Imagine your end-of-day retreat to a convenient first-floor primary suite, featuring a floor-to-ceiling spa-inspired wet room while hosting guests upstairs. Or stroll directly to a private patio and pool area (like our model home’s custom pool area, accessible directly from the bedroom via custom French doors.

Multigenerational Living

An increasing number of new home buyers are embracing multigenerational family living, which is why Winway Homes often designs custom homes in Pinellas County that are meant to be shared. Perhaps your children are still working their way through school, or maybe you’ve invited your parents to come live with you. Multigenerational homes are often essential to these changing family dynamics.

Storm-Smart & Elegantly Resilient

Storm-resilient materials can help future-proof a custom home against storm damage, such as the hurricane-rated windows and fencing in our Winway model home, which is also built outside of a flood zone. Additionally, Winway designs and builds elevated custom homes for more flood-prone areas. What’s more, we believe that building a storm-resilient home doesn’t have to mean sacrificing curb appeal.

For example, our model home features an elegant, wrap-around porch and an upgraded garage door designed to complement the entire exterior. We’ve also added weather-resistant turf in the front yard for easy upkeep and increased curb appeal (looks like natural grass). This luxury residence seamlessly blends storm resiliency, timeless comfort, and modern craftsmanship.

For your custom home, our Winway architects and builders can also layer in shielded, coastal-rated fixtures to light stairs and porches. Subtle, warm lighting can minimize harsh shadows beneath the home and guide guests safely at night.

Blurring the Lines Between Indoor & Outdoor

At Winway Homes, we’re always innovating thoughtful home layouts that beautifully blur the lines between the inside and the outdoors. Think shaded lanais that transcend traditional covered porches, along with storm-smart screen systems that help you live larger and stay comfortable in our salty, sunny, St. Pete weather year-round.

Luxury Water Features & Outdoor Living

Did you know that Winway also designs and builds custom pools in Pinellas County? We can work with our sister company, Winway Pools, to seamlessly integrate a luxurious pool design with the architectural elements of your new custom home, while factoring in sunlight, privacy, and adjacent landscaping.

Some of the most-requested custom pool features from our new homeowners include:

• Infinity or Vanishing Edge Pools: These create a dramatic visual effect for your outdoor space by allowing water to flow over one or more edges, blending seamlessly into the surrounding landscape or waterfront.
• Waterfalls and Sheer Descents: Rock waterfalls, deck jets, and sheet-style water descents are luxury pool features that bring movement and tranquil sounds to a pool environment. These elements can also help soften hardscaping and turn the backyard into a private oasis.
• Spas and Hot Tubs: Raised spas can overflow into a pool with cascading water — creating a dynamic effect for the senses — with hydrotherapy benefits.
• Outdoor kitchens: Elevate your pool experience with a custom outdoor kitchen equipped with built-in grills, pizza ovens, and beverage stations with bar seating.
