Local, award-winning achitecture firm, DSDG Architects, recently celebrated 20 years in business—co-founded in 2001 by Mark Sultana, AIA. The now 13-person, full-service firm celebrates an impressive portfolio of awards and recognition over the years in creating and building over 200 contemporary home designs along the Gulf Coast that are not only iconic but comfortable and livable. 

Sultana designed and built his first modern home in 1999. The home won multiple home design categories, which launched his career. “Once that house got published in a few magazines, I started getting phone calls for modern commissions, and things really started to take off,” he says. Today, DSDG Architects is known for its contemporary, waterfront homes that include simple, clean and elegant design concepts. They continue to work on various projects, contributing stunning commercial and residential properties to the Florida Coast—including The Sarasota Yacht Club, Ringling College Studio Lab Campus, and two high rise condominiums under construction: The Collection and The Evolution. 

In addition to an impressive portfolio of awards and architecture, the company foundation was built on Sultana's reputation of always viewing architecture as art. A likely reason this 20-year milestone has been reached with multiple awards and featured publications of DSDG Architects. “We’ve never done the same custom home more than once,” Sultana said. “Every home looks and feels new."
