The Challenges
The challenge was to design a home that utilized every inch of the lot while adhering to the city building setbacks on all four sides. Additionally, they required a sturdy, hurricane-resistant structure made entirely of concrete and masonry to ensure safety during Florida’s hurricane season.
The Solution
SSA designed an all-white, modern residence that perfectly fits the lot’s dimensions. The home incorporates both play space for the children and a tranquil retreat for the parents. A key design feature is the pocket-shaped layout with a central family pool, supporting the indoor-outdoor living concept desired by the family. The house is equipped with hurricane glass throughout, providing peace of mind during the storm season. This design achieved a seamless balance between style, functionality, and safety.
The Results
The completed home is a perfect fit for a family with young children in sunny South Florida. Sunlight reaches every part of the house, and the central pool is visible from key areas, including the children’s bedrooms, playroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, master bedroom, and even the garage. The design successfully integrates indoor-outdoor living with a sense of openness and security, creating a beautiful, functional space that exceeds the family’s expectations.
