SUNARC Architecture

A Home Should Belong to the Place Where It Stands and the People Who Live Within It.

At SUNARC, architecture begins with listening. We take the time to understand the lives, aspirations, and everyday rituals of the people we design for. We study the land, the movement of sunlight, the surrounding landscape, and the views worth capturing. Somewhere between the people and the place, a home begins to take shape.

SUNARC designs custom homes across Tampa Bay and the Pinellas County beaches.

What we hold to

Our process is thoughtful, collaborative, and built around you.

A design process clients genuinely enjoy

At SUNARC, we believe the experience of creating your home should be just as rewarding as living in it.

Obsessive attention to detail

There is a remarkable amount happening behind every drawing, every detail, and every decision. Our job is to make it all feel a little simpler.

Construction engineered for wherever it is built

At SUNARC, we believe a coastal home must be designed for more than how it looks on a beautiful day. It must respond thoughtfully to the conditions it may face during the most demanding ones.

Questions We Hear Often

All questions

  • How long does it take to design a custom home?

    We do not like defining this answer as every client and project is completely different but on average about four to six months for the design phase, which covers pre-design, schematic design, design development and the construction documents. Larger or more complex sites take longer, whereas smaller and less complex sites may take less time. We will be able to give you a more accurate answer after our first meeting.
  • How are your fees structured?

    By phase, so you are never committing to the entire project at once. Each phase has a defined scope and a defined deliverable, and you approve the work before the next one begins. We walk you through the whole structure in the services proposal, before anything is signed.
