Program Summary:
A new single family home on Biscayne Bay in South Florida.
Program Statement:
This design adroitly incorporates a 25m lap pool within a small
site. The pool becomes a governing feature of the overall design as it
plunges deep into the heart of the home. The second floor of the
home is cantilevered above the pool below.
The residence features 4 bedrooms and is designed to take full
advantage of Florida’s outdoor lifestyle. Extreme privacy is
maintained from the street while extreme openness is provided on the
home’s interior and waterfront backyard.
Principal building materials include clean white stucco and “Florida
keystone”. Impact-resistant sliding glass doors are used throughout
and the presence of an internal courtyard breathes light and air into
the many living spaces. Deep overhangs protect the home from the
harsh afternoon sun and frequent downpours.

controlled material palette
consisting of split-face
keystone, porcelain wood
tile, and clean white stucco.
