Green Building in 32129.

“We own a well designed and built 1926 bungalow, which had a not-so-well designed addition in the 1950s. We loved and treasured the original part of the house, but wanted to remove the addition and add a master bedroom suite and home office that would blend in with the charm of the original house and its steep-pitched (12/12) tile roof. We talked to three architects (paid two to draw concept sketches) but no one could – or wanted to take the time to - determine how to tie into the stick-built roof and create an addition large enough to meet our needs but not overwhelm the original structure. That is, no one until we met Mark Pemberton. We had heard of Mark and knew he had designed a number of beautiful – and very large – homes in central Florida and thought that our little addition would not be of interest to him; but decided to contact him. It was clear from our first meeting that if anybody could solve our design problem it would be Mark. It didn’t come easy but he was engaged, involved, innovative, and persistent. With Mark’s attention to detail – and a builder and roofer (who found and installed matching 1926 Ludowici tile) with the same craftsman dedication – we have a wonderful addition to our home.”

“Mangrove Design produced tiles that incorporated melted glass that gave a unique design for our backsplash in the kitchen. The design coordinated and enhanced the entire kitchen. We receive many compliments for the work and we would recommend Mangrove Design to others without hesitation.”

“Great attention to detail. Exception design quality focusing on classical elements with modern logic. A quality project every single time.”

“Very knowledgeable professional. Extremely detail oriented. Blueprints included all needed details plus extras. Genuinely concerned with matching the addition to the original Victorian style.”
