The home’s design is inspired by the Spanish Eclectic architecture of early Davis Islands’ homes. Dave Davis, the developer of the islands in the 1920s, had a vision for a community themed around a Mediterranean motif, as displayed in the original homes remaining on the north and west side of Davis Islands. Stucco, sculpted parapets and figural walls, rough-sawn wood columns and beams, tile roofing, decorative metal railings, balconies and grilles comprise this popular style on the Islands. The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition house incorporates these elements in addition to providing outdoor living spaces with a generous wrap-around front porch, detached garage with guest suite, arched loggia with views to the channel, and an intimate courtyard with an inviting plunge pool.
