Kasper Modern Homes: A Showcase of Japandi Style and Sophistication – Update 1/21/25
When it comes to modern design trends, Kasper Modern Homes has consistently set the benchmark. Their latest Japandi-style property redefines contemporary living by blending minimalist elegance with functional luxury. This stunning new construction not only embodies cutting-edge design but also pays homage to timeless aesthetics and sustainable principles.
The Return of Beige: A Softer, More Sophisticated Palette
One of the most striking features of this home is its thoughtfully curated color scheme. “We’re seeing a resurgence of beige, but it’s not the beige of yesteryear,” explains Aaron Hunt, Broker of Avalon Group Realty. “This time around, it’s softer, more sophisticated, and devoid of those intense yellow undertones that dominated the early 2000s.”
The property’s exterior and interior are painted in Sherwin Williams’ Natural Choice, a warm neutral hue that perfectly complements the Japandi aesthetic. This versatile shade creates a timeless backdrop, allowing architectural features and decor to shine.
Embracing Wabi-Sabi: The Beauty of Imperfection
A defining element of this Kasper Modern Homes property is its embrace of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
“The use of raw copper for all exterior lighting is a brilliant touch,” remarks Pam Amante, a valued realtor at Avalon Group. “As these fixtures age and develop a patina, they’ll tell the story of the home’s journey through time. It’s a living, evolving design element that adds character and depth.”
The courtyard pool, a centerpiece of the property, features a raw cement wall adorned with copper Japanese scuppers. This harmonious blend of materials creates a visually striking and serene outdoor space, embodying the wabi-sabi aesthetic.
Poolside Serenity
- Off-white beige colors accentuate the pool area.
- A raw concrete gray feature wall adds contrast and texture.
- Copper scuppers highlight the home’s connection to nature and impermanence.
Japandi Style: Where Japanese and Scandinavian Design Meet
The Japandi style of Kasper Modern Homes perfectly blends Japanese and Scandinavian design principles. This fusion emphasizes minimalism, functionality, and a profound connection to nature.
“The use of muted cedar wood sections on the exterior, paired with Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze soffit, creates a warm, organic feel that’s quintessentially Japandi,” says Josh Zanow, a seasoned Avalon Group realtor. “It’s a perfect balance of natural elements and modern design.”
Interior Highlights
- Fluted wood accent walls add texture and elegance.
- Large-scale tile flooring matches the Natural Choice walls for seamless flow.
- Scandinavian principles of light and airy interiors shine throughout the home.
Luxurious Details and Modern Amenities
While simplicity defines the overall aesthetic, the home boasts a wealth of luxurious details and modern conveniences. From the spa-inspired master bathroom to the gourmet kitchen, every element has been carefully considered.
“The attention to detail in this home is extraordinary,” notes Yvette Kim, a key member of the Avalon Group team. “The tadelakt walls and ceiling in the bathroom are not only beautiful but also a testament to expert craftsmanship.”
Key Features
- Master Bath: A spa shower with waterfall and rain shower options.
- Kitchen: European solid wood cabinets, natural stone countertops, and a 10-foot waterfall island.
- Lighting: A stunning 17-light art cluster pendant adorns the main living area.
Modern Technology Meets Timeless Design
This Kasper Modern Homes property seamlessly integrates modern technology while honoring traditional elements. Gas appliances, including a cooktop, water heaters, and a lantern on the front porch, enhance functionality and charm.
“It’s worth noting that gas wasn’t initially available on this block,” Aaron Hunt explains. “The homebuyer’s decision to invest in extending gas service underscores their commitment to quality and authenticity.”

Kasper Modern Homes: Newest Homes Under Construction
Mid-century modern homes have gained a new fan base in the 21st century, with homebuyers eager to renovate the original homes, and architects and builders looking for ways to incorporate elements of mid-century modern into new homes. The layout of mid-century modern homes resonates with the younger generation, with the kitchen, dining, and living spaces being contiguous and indoor/outdoor living being a key feature. Currently, there are two new homes being built in conjunction with Avalon Group. Additionally, you can see the home renderings below. The address of the build below is 5100 2nd Ave. N, St Petersburg FL.
The driving force behind the creation of the mid-century modern design was to come out of a period where more was more and celebrate the beauty of simple things like concrete block. The homes are not about extravagance, but instead, they celebrate simplicity and elegance.
Kasper Modern Homes: Pool Installation
In October of 2019, Aaron Hunt of Avalon Group Realtors St. Petersburg decided to buy a Kasper Modern Home (5045 Dartmouth Ave N) and he attests to the high quality of the home. He was impressed with the expansive master bath that features a 7 by 11-foot double shower with a huge upper wall window. He is now building the home at 5100 2nd Ave. N to have more square footage and to have a bigger yard. In addition, you can choose to have a pool installed as the home is built. Both 5100 2nd Ave. N and 5000 Dartmouth Ave. N (Pictured Below) are having pools built with the homes.
Buying a new “mid-century modern” home is buying a vision of oneself in composed yet carefree happiness. The homes are focused around large, airy entertainment spaces, with clean angles and unadorned edges in place of what in recent decades were curvy, decorated facades. The new “mid-century modern” homes recreate the sparkling, effortless cocktail vibe associated with the 1950s period, and they are about creating a home that is sleek and minimalist, sparsely decorated, with clean lines that make the viewer imagine that the more ornate ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s never happened.

New Home Builder St Petersburg FL
With their creative light-filled, open floor plans and emphasis on indoor/outdoor living, Kasper Modern Homes builds mid-century modern style homes. Why Mid Century Modern? You ask? Because of a new fan base in the 21st century. Homebuyers are eagerly snapping up and renovating the original homes, while architects and builders look for ways to incorporate elements of mid-century modern into new homes.
Windows illuminate the living spaces.
“The layout of mid-century modern homes resonates with the younger generation, with the kitchen, dining, and living spaces all being contiguous,” says architect Hunter Fleetwood, founding principal of Fleetwood/Fernandez in Santa Monica, Calif. “And indoor/outdoor living is something that mid-century modern architects in Southern California really tried to build into their designs.”
This home that is under construction will feature vaulted ceilings throughout.
What was the driving force behind the creation of the Mid Century Modern Designed home? “These homes were introduced as we were coming out of a period where more is more,” says Phil Kean, president of Phil Kean Designs, Winter Park, Fla. “Mid-century modern isn’t about extravagance; it celebrates the beauty of simple things like concrete block.”
Avalon Group’s Founders buy a Kasper Modern Home: October 2019
Aaron Hunt of Avalon Group Realtors St. Petersburg decides to buy a Kasper Modern Home. He says “When I walked into the expansive master bath with a 7 by 11 foot double shower with a huge upper wall window, I knew I had to buy this home.” Aaron and I had been looking to buy a modern condo in downtown St. Petersburg FL. But one day, while showing clients from Washington, DC several new build homes by Kasper Modern, our minds changed.
Once our clients decided on the Kasper Modern Home they wanted to buy, we also put an offer on the home with the huge shower. We have been in our home for 7 months and we love it. All the creative use of windows, and the amazing kitchen and bath are perfect for our lifestyle of living. Also, I have a weekly spa time in the huge spa-like bathroom.
Buy A Happy Home
To buy a new “midcentury modern” home, then, is to buy a vision of oneself in such composed yet carefree happiness. For instance, what one can’t achieve in full glass walls, one can approximate with minimalist decor and large, open entertaining spaces. In addition, this is what the new “midcentury modern” developers are building and selling. Therefore, not necessarily replicas, but homes focused around large, airy entertainment space, with clean angles and unadorned edges in place of what in recent decades were curvy, decorated facades.
The New Mid Century Modern
First, the new “midcentury modern” housing recreates the sparkling, effortless cocktail vibe associated with the 1950s period. Second, it is about creating a home that is sleek and minimalist. Third, Mid Century Modern decorates sparsely. Fourth, the clean lines work hard to make the viewer imagine that the more ornate ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s never happened. While Kasper Modern deploys abundant glass panes to achieve Palm Springs’ requisite “indoor/outdoor” feeling, the use of glass remains limited to areas like patio sliders and windows, rather than entire lengths of the home.
Mid-century moderns are easy to live in because they reflect how we live today. Additionally, in St. Petersburg FL specifically, they pair well with the culture of companies like HSN, Hype., BigSea, Aurora Surgical, Gooee, and Valpak. St. Petersburg’s economy is highly design focused. But truly, design is more of a focus in America than it has been in a long time. Consider that we have IKEA furniture, which is affordable high-design. And if Apple was a house, it would be mid-century modern.
