AIA Jacksonville 2012 Design Excellence Award
The project site is located in Vilano Beach, Florida which is not too far from St. Augustine on the ocean side of historic State Road A1A. Along this area the Coastal Control Construction Line runs within a few feet of the landward property line; making building on this property a challenge. The State of Florida would need to approve any proposed design and would prefer the design to be shallow to minimize the impact on the sand dunes and natural vegetation. With that in mind, this residence was designed on a 25’ deep footprint.
The design began as a rectangle but unlike many of it’s neighbors it did not end there. Volumes were subtracted to create relief and exterior spaces. A large volume was pushed into the rectangle. This motion created a transition point where public space meets private space. The volume started to generate points of privacy for the residents and this action worked to add interest to the project by creating depth and shadow.
The interior is arranged to maximize the views of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and St. Augustine, FL on the other. Large expanses of glazing brings daylight into the space and large overhangs are used to protect the glazing. The living spaces are elevated one level, with the first level committed to vehicle parking and beach related spaces. The second floor holds the living areas and a guest bedroom. The third floor holds the master and one additional bedroom. All major living areas have access to exterior porches to help inspire outdoor living.
The residence that started as a white stucco rectangle was dramatically altered by the use of glazing and negative space. The change in material for the inserted volume, a wood clad rain screen was intended to add warmth to the form and works to make the design more inviting.
All of the movements, forms, and voids work to create an understandable order to the composition.
