to help clients push the boundaries of design while creating homes that truly reflect their goals and lifestyle.”
On the topic of design, Dave offers an interesting view on how trends are evolving away from specific features and towards the overall feel of a home.“ Clients are moving beyond simply asking for larger homes or more amenities, and instead becoming more interested in proportion, spatial flow, natural light, materiality, and the experience of living within a home,” he says.“ Another trend is the desire for simplicity throughout the building process. Clients increasingly value having architecture, interior design, selections, and construction under one roof, as the integrated model provides greater continuity and clearer communication.”
With this trend in mind, Divco is constantly moving toward greater integration between design and construction as it looks to the future.“ Homeowners are more intentional in the decisions they make, and they want a team that can guide them through the entire process while maintaining consistency from the initial vision through to final execution. Technology will continue to transform client experience. Visualization tools, digital collaboration, and integrated planning systems allow homeowners to participate more actively in the design process while reducing uncertainty and improving communication.
“ I also see architecture becoming a more dominant lever in the luxury market. For many years, the conversation centered around square footage and features, but the focus is shifting towards experience, such as how the home feels, how it connects to its surroundings, and how it supports the homeowners’ lifestyles.
“ Longer term, our focus is on elevating the architectural quality of our work while building upon the trust and reputation we’ ve established. We’ re investing in design, visualization, technology, and process improvements that allow us to offer a more seamless experience for our clients. We want to create a stronger architectural identity. While our legacy portfolio reflects decades of successful projects tailored to the individual tastes and goals of our homeowners, we are excited about the future direction of the firm and the opportunities to deliver increasingly sophisticated, architecturally significant residences throughout Southwest Florida.” ■
