Tribeca-Style Custom Townhome in St. Petersburg's Grand Central

This 4,800-square-foot residence on Central Avenue is one of MTBH Studios' most architecturally ambitious projects in St. Petersburg's Grand Central District, a Tribeca-style townhome that brings genuine urban-loft sensibility to a city that doesn't have many true examples of the typology. The result is a home that operates at multiple scales simultaneously: gallery, residence, and entertaining venue.

The architecture leads with vertical drama. Thirty-foot ceilings in the central volume open the home to a quality of light closer to a photography studio than a residential space, and the gallery-style stair carries that light through every level. Three bedrooms, three full baths, and two half-baths accommodate adult living and overnight guests, while a private ADU adds flexibility for extended family, a guest suite, or remote work without compromising the main residence.

Finishes throughout match the architectural ambition. The Gaggenau chef's kitchen anchors a kitchen-living-dining volume designed for serious entertaining, while a loft media room with bar provides a more intimate counterpoint. Smart-home systems are integrated into the architecture rather than retrofitted onto it. The private rooftop retreat, outdoor kitchen, lounge zones, and panoramic city views, extends the home's livable footprint into a fourth dimension that most St. Pete residences simply don't have access to.

This project reflects MTBH Studios' ability to deliver urban architecture at the scale and detail level normally reserved for major-metro builds, executed locally through an architect-led design-build process.
