Modern Custom Home in Bartlett Park, St. Petersburg

Bartlett Park is one of the St. Petersburg neighborhoods quietly redefining what modern infill can look like — a corridor where well-designed contemporary residences are establishing a new architectural baseline without erasing the neighborhood's working-class character. This 13th Avenue S home contributes to that conversation with a sleek, confident presence and a material vocabulary that takes design risks where it should and stays restrained everywhere else.

Bold horizontal lines anchor the front elevation, broken up by deliberate texture changes — a stucco-and-wood combination that gives the home dimensional interest without resorting to over-detailing. Large windows pull natural light deep into the interior and visually extend the public rooms into the landscape beyond.

Inside, the plan emphasizes flow. Kitchen, dining, and living areas operate as a continuous volume, with full-height openings extending the entertaining footprint outdoors when needed. Bedroom wings retreat into quieter parts of the home, organized for both privacy and natural cross-ventilation. Indoor-outdoor flow isn't a marketing line on this project — it's the spatial logic the entire plan is built around.

Clean landscaping wraps the residence in a way that supports the architecture rather than competing with it. Statement design lives in the proportion and the material, not in unnecessary ornament.

This project illustrates the kind of contemporary infill work MTBH Studios is doing across St. Petersburg: design-forward homes that respect neighborhood scale while moving the architectural conversation forward, delivered through an integrated design-build process from concept through completion.
