Ocean View House
SIZE
3000 sqft - 5000 sqft
Set in the barrier island of Key Biscayne,
overlooking the intracoastalwaterway,
Ocean View House is a residence for an European couple with two teenage
daughters. Positioned in a tight standard lot (7,500sf), and separated from the
sea by a road, the organization of the plan focuses on maximizing water views
while creating privacy for its occupants.
The residence is laid-out with a
compact footprint and an open floor plan organization of the public functions, a layout
that reinforces the desire to be outdoors.
To further strengthen the relationship with
the sea and blur the distinction between indoor
and outdoor, the house incorporates a porch running the full front,
which is defined by a large operable glass wall that can slide out of view in
good weather. The traditional Key Biscayne
dry-lot plan organization is
inverted by positioning the garage at the back of the house, and the swimming
pool, living and kitchen on the front.
The residence is placed as far back as possible on the lot to create a sense of
expanse at arrival and to take advantage of
a 50’ easement fronting the street that
becomes part of the front lawn.
