Arguably the most architecturally significant home to ever be brought to market on Captiva, Bella Luna was nationally recognized for impeccable design when it received the American Institute of Building Design’s (AIBD) prestigious American Residential Design Award (ARDA) in 2021. Conceptualized by the renowned Wayne Visbeen of Visbeen Architects, Bella Luna reflects the exceptional craftsmanship and innovative design for which the firm is celebrated. Known for collaborating with prestigious clients such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Martha Stewart, and Disney, Visbeen Architects brings the same level of artistry and attention to detail to residential projects, making this property a masterpiece of design and livability. Constructed to be a fortress of concrete and steel, the substantial nature of the structure is resilient yet refined. Employing hotel and hospitality design techniques, every detail was meticulously tailored to enhance the human experience through sophistication and functionality, creating intimate experiences in the grandeur of larger spaces.
