During the 39th Annual Aurora Awards competition presented by the Southeast Building Conference (SEBC) and the Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA), Mediterra Naples representatives were on hand to accept awards for the Catalina luxury home, as well as the community overall, to recognize the beauty and expert design of our luxury home community.
The SEBC is the largest building industry trade show in the southeast and honors architectural design, interior design, and planning excellence for companies throughout the Southeastern U.S. and Eastern Caribbean. Nearly 400 entries in 61 categories were considered within the 12-state region stretching west to Texas and Louisiana, north to Virginia and also including the eastern Caribbean. Mediterra Naples was honored to receive two Aurora Awards, including the Grand Aurora for the Catalina luxury model home in Cortile.
The Catalina in Cortile
Grand Aurora Award for Best Single Family Detached Home
The Catalina is one of the very few remaining luxury model homes available in the Cortile neighborhood at the heart of Mediterra and it received the Grand Aurora Award for Best Single Family Detached Home over 4,000 square feet. The single family home features 5,288 square feet under air with an inviting open floor plan blending the great room, kitchen, and café. From the café, large bonus room, and master bedroom, homeowners and guests can access the 950-square-foot outdoor living area with resort-inspired linear pool with a sun shelf, a raised spa, a fountain near a raised fire pit, a summer kitchen, and living and dining room areas. The second floor includes additional spaces for relaxation and entertaining with a loft, wet bar, and third guest suite. The loft leads out to a special design feature of the home called the “sunset overlook.” This balcony just outside of the loft was designed to create a perfect place to gaze at the stars and enjoy an evening by the fireplace.
Mediterra Naples
