What We Do
Alys Beach Custom Home Design Inspired by Timeless Coastal Architecture
Alys Beach is unlike any other coastal community in Florida. Its clean architectural lines, white masonry homes, private courtyards, and carefully planned streetscapes have created one of the country’s most recognizable luxury residential communities. Every home contributes to a cohesive architectural vision while remaining uniquely personal to the homeowner.
At Beacon Home Design, we create Alys Beach custom home design solutions that respect this architectural character while tailoring every residence to the way our clients live. From primary residences to second homes along Florida’s Emerald Coast, our custom home plans balance timeless architecture with modern comfort, creating homes that feel sophisticated without sacrificing warmth or livability.
Our design philosophy begins with understanding the property, the surrounding environment, and the homeowner’s vision. Seamless indoor-outdoor living are carefully considered throughout every stage of the design process.
"AJ and his team have done a fantastic job designing our home in Anna Maria. His creativity and willingness to listen to us and make our design come to life has been a great experience. He is personable, easy to work with, and his experience helped us to design and build a very unique home just the way we envisioned it but do it very economically. We have worked with a lot of architects over time, but Beacon Home Design has exceeded our expectations in every way. Give them a call. We believe you will be glad you did."

"Competent, creative, efficient, flexible, and talented is how I would sum up Beacon Home Designer, AJ Barnard. AJ has designed hundreds of houses in the Manatee County area, mostly on Anna Maria Island. And the reason is clear, because his vision for a house that one would find most appealing comes to life in his drawing. Walk along any of the streets of the city of Anna Maria, and you will see a lot of his work. I highly recommend him."

About Us
About Alys Beach Custom Home Design
Building a custom home in Alys Beach begins long before construction. Every successful project starts with thoughtful planning, architectural consistency, and a clear understanding of how the home will function for years to come.
At Beacon Home Design, we approach every custom home plan with careful attention to proportion, site orientation, and the relationship between interior and exterior spaces. Open living areas, private courtyards, covered outdoor rooms, and carefully framed views all contribute to homes that embrace the coastal lifestyle while remaining timeless in their design.
Led by Chief Architectural Designer AJ Barnard, our team collaborates closely with homeowners, builders, interior designers, and engineering professionals throughout the planning process. Immersive 3D visualizations allow clients to experience the home before construction begins, providing confidence in every design decision.
