This project focused on reusing the extant building to extend, renovate and improve the panoramic views, access to light, and flow of the house. Our client was open to our ideas and these ideas were driven by budgetary constraints.

Residential › House, Rural Contemporary Architecture
Featured in Florida Design Magazine in 2022, this kid-approved home was built to last. This one acre lot proved to be the perfect canvas for a one-story, U shaped residence with contemporary Balinese flair, where “our goal was to make a beautiful architectural statement with a home that’s comfortable and practical for everyday life.”
