The narrow project site with double front street setbacks of 40’ created the need for a linear solution, while maintaining the goal of maximizing the views across the large bay toward a barrier island. The project carefully and purposely erodes to allow for view opportunities as well as separation of program functions. A three-story structural curtain wall system is used in areas where maximum views are available. The program calls for a main house and a guesthouse. The main house contains the living area for the client as well as a separate area for a live-in caretaker. A separate guest building is located east of the main house and is connected with an internal vaulted gallery. The guestrooms enjoy views to the Bay and a large second level rear terrace overlooks the rear courtyard. Between the main house and the guesthouse is a private pool area and garden. Both the main house and the guesthouse enjoy views into this area as well as from the connecting gallery. This area enjoys complete privacy from the street. Behind the guesthouse is a large private courtyard anchored by two majestic Live Oak trees. A fifteen-foot grid was established between the oak trees to create an interactive garden containing thirty-seven silver reflecting gazing balls all located at precisely the same height. This house represents a calmness and peacefulness through its palette of nine shades of white, blue tinted glass reflecting the Florida sky and water, and white polished porcelain floors to reflect the water and sky within the house. The project is a careful study of positive and negative space and creates an environment that is filled with freedom and light.
