Mid-Century Inspired Custom Home near Bayshore, Tampa
Built in 2012, this 4-bed, 3-bath, 2,500 sq. ft. South Tampa home draws from mid-century modern design with open living, European-style kitchens and baths, and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces. Featuring Energy Star certification with tankless water heater, foam insulation, and Low-E glass, it also offers expansive outdoor dining and lounge areas with fireplace and kitchen—just steps from Bayshore Boulevard.
This 2,500-square-foot residence at 5707 Interbay Boulevard, completed in 2012, was one of MTBH Studios' earlier mid-century-inspired projects in South Tampa — and it remains a clear demonstration of the architectural principles the firm applies to the typology. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a plan organized around open living and indoor-outdoor flow give the home a quiet ambition that holds up more than a decade after delivery.
The architectural inheritance from mid-century modern shows up in the specific places it should: in the proportion of the public rooms, the relationship between interior volumes and the courtyard, and the disciplined material palette. European-style kitchens and baths bring a finishing sensibility that complements the architecture rather than competing with it, with cabinetry, hardware, and stone surfaces calibrated to the period's restraint.
Indoor-outdoor living is engineered as a continuous architectural sequence. Expansive outdoor dining and lounge areas, a fireplace, and a built-in outdoor kitchen extend the home's entertaining footprint into year-round usable Florida space. The architectural move is more than amenity — it's the spatial logic the entire plan is built around.
The envelope was specified for long-term performance: Energy Star certification, tankless water heater, foam insulation, and Low-E glass throughout. These were design decisions, not retrofits — the kind of envelope discipline that delivers measurable operating-cost benefits across the lifecycle of the home.
The location puts owners steps from Bayshore Boulevard. This residence reflects MTBH Studios' early commitment to environmentally disciplined contemporary residential design, delivered through architect-led integrated design-build from concept to completion.
