Selected from London Bay's extensive custom home designs, the Portfolio Collection offers a wide range of floor plans and architectural styles, varying from traditional Florida to a Spanish country house, a Mediterranean estate or an Italian Tuscan villa.

Ranging from approximately 3,000 to 5,000 square feet under air, the Portfolio Collection currently includes the Abriana, which features a rustic Italian design centered around outdoor spaces; the Castello, a two-story Mediterranean home with numerous options for entertaining; the Claiborne, a stately Mediterranean home that accentuates gracious living; the San Michele and the Valencia, designs that reflect the warmth of Mediterranean countries while highlighting a Florida lifestyle.

According to Mark Wilson, president of Naples-based London Bay Homes, the Portfolio Collection is a natural progression in the company's product offerings and ability to serve a broader market.

"The beauty of the Portfolio Collection is the buyer gets a custom home, anywhere in Southwest Florida they wish, and most of the work has already been done for them," Wilson said. "However, a key feature of the Portfolio Collection is the wide range of base plans still allows the buyer to customize the home to suit their own lifestyle needs."
