Through its design-build approach, Zahn Development, Inc. delivered this ultra-contemporary residence in the tranquil Coral Shores neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale. Positioned on a wide, mangrove-lined canal off the Middle River, the home preserves its natural surroundings while introducing a bold modern presence with a flat roof and a crisp black, white, and grey palette. A 40-foot pool anchors the waterfront terrace, complemented by terrazzo pavers that are a nod to Florida’s architectural heritage. A composite dock extends outdoor living to the canal, while native mangroves thoughtfully preserved along the shoreline provide a rare sense of peace and seclusion.

Inside, limestone textured porcelain floors unify open living spaces, with cabinetry throughout designed in-house and crafted locally. A bar with a wine cooler and built-in espresso machine emphasizes entertaining, while a skylight above the shower floods the primary bath with natural light for a spa-like experience. Tailored as a custom residence for its owners, the home reflects Zahn Development’s commitment to delivering architecture and construction as one seamless vision.
