Seibert Architects PA Over seventy years of design rooted in honesty, clarity, and climatic sensitivity.

Since our establishment in 1955, we have been recognized as a leader of the Sarasota School of Architecture. Today we continue our legacy in architecture, interiors and planning with an award-winning team led by firm principal Michael Lee Epstein AIA with design team members Dale Parks AIA and William J. Craig AIA. Seibert Architects offers complete professional services including architecture, interior design and planning. The firm’s experience includes public sector projects, private residences, high rise condominiums, commercial offices, historical restorations, educational buildings, and large-scale resorts. Seibert Architects has received recognition for design excellence and its ability to solve architectural problems in a variety of work based on sensitivity to the Florida Gulf Coast environment and concern for its inhabitants. To that end, client participation is facilitated throughout the course of design to arrive at architecture that is programmatically and aesthetically reflective to client needs, site context, and budget. We continue to meet each new project with creative and effective solutions that balances the built environment with the natural environment creating a timeless architecture. Seibert FAIA began his professional career in the Sarasota office of the world-renowned architect, Paul Rudolph. In 1955, he established his own firm in Sarasota and was nationally recognized early in his career as a leader in what is now referred to as the Sarasota School of Architecture. His work was widely praised for demonstrating that excellence was possible even in small projects with minimal budgets. Using ordinary materials and strong geometrical forms he made a new architecture remarkably suited to Florida’s semi-tropical environment. As the scale and nature of his practice grew from small houses to large projects, Seibert and his design team demonstrated great versatility while continuing to explore and refine a design philosophy of articulate geometry and sculpturally elegant spaces. Today, Seibert Architects PA continues this design legacy. Seibert Architects PA upholds its commitment to architecture as art.

This renovation of a 1950s era retail space in downtown Sarasota was intended to visually connect the interior space to the exterior for both maximum retail effect and increased natural light in the interior space. The original façade was modified to incorporate more glass into the upper clerestory and the storefront. The original canopy defining the entry and providing weather protection for pedestrians was reconstructed and finished with a bright metal fascia. Portions of the façade had to be restructured due to deferred maintenance. These improvements provided a fresh, open frontage to the urban streetscape.

We’re pleased to announce that Jardin du Ciel has been selected for the Archello Awards 2026 Longlist in the House of the Year (Urban) – Large category.

The Archello Awards recognize excellence and innovation in architecture and design, connecting outstanding projects with an international audience of architects and designers.

Located on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Jardin du Ciel is an elevated courtyard residence designed to balance flood resilience with an intimate connection to its landscape. A raised terrace, sheltered outdoor spaces, and mature vegetation shape the experience of the home, creating a series of spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. The design responds to the demands of its waterfront setting while maintaining a strong relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Finalists will be announced in November. We’re honored to be included on this year’s longlist and look forward to the next stage of the awards.

In the Godfrey House, swing doors open on all sides of the central pavilion, connecting the interior and landscape, with the orientation of the house capturing the prevailing southwestern breezes. The pavilion is created by four individual "cubes" at its corners. Each cube serves a distinct function: two for sleeping, one for cooking/dining, and one for parking. The house was built in 1960 and is located on Siesta Key.
