Custom homes for Ocean Reef Club — ARC-ready from the first sketch.
Ocean Reef Club sits at the northern tip of Key Largo and runs by its own rules: a private community whose Architectural Review Committee approves nothing in a hurry. Materials are specified, plans are detailed, and the design has to fit the community's character before a shovel hits dirt. Summerland is built for that submission — General Contractor with a Degree in Architecture coordinating tightly with a Florida-licensed architect of record, in the same county, producing the kind of paperwork the ARC actually expects.

Local Building Insight
ARC submissions that pair architect-drafted plans with the contractor-of-record's specifications, prepared in tight coordination from day one, move through review faster than submissions where the architect and contractor work in silos. Summerland coordinates closely with the architect of record on every project so the package lands together — fewer rounds with the committee.

My original enclosed downstairs was only about 800 sq ft, and the rest was just a covered open space facing the pool. Mercedes, who is both a dear friend of mine and a general contractor in Key Largo, gave me excellent advice that transformed my property in the ground floor. She knew the building department was about to change the flood elevation requirements to 10 feet, and warned me that once the new rules passed, I wouldn't be able to get a permit for the ground floor ever again.
Following her guidance, we enclosed the rest of the downstairs with a gorgeous wall of glass windows facing the pool. Thanks to her, my enclosed space jumped to 2,800 sq ft before the code changes took effect. The space is absolutely beautiful, and it massively increased the overall value of my home. I highly recommend Mercedes and her team to anyone looking to build or renovate!
