The Task: To build a new Equestrian farm focused on the enjoyment and viewing of the horses. The project includes a seasonal family residence, farm management office, stables & riding rings, hot walker and service buildings including garage and grooms quarters.
Our Approach: Taking precedent from the Palladian farms of the Renaissance, the complex was organized around a grand inner courtyard with a large reflecting pool. Covered arcades bracket the north and south sides of this courtyard, providing shade from the Florida sun and forming a sanctuary from the surrounding suburban neighborhood. At the center of the composition, the double height Great Room of the residence is flanked by Serliana windows framing views over the courtyard and Stables to the east, and through the Loggia to a vista of the Sand Ring to the west. The high vaulting over the pool Loggia evokes Roman baths and Renaissance Palaces while a heavy timber roof soars over the basilica-like Stables. An alley of iron columns defines the stalls and culminates in an octagonal sanctum of the Tack Room. The whole complex is anchored to the near-by show grounds by a processional rout passing through an arched & vaulted gate-house into the Courtyard.
The attention to materials and custom detailing in this project hark back to the last century and beyond. Examples of this attention to detail include custom bronze gates with jumping-horse latches and carved pecky cypress ceilings in the Mudejar style. Extensive use was made of handcrafted natural materials, including a commissioned tile mural across the pool. Imported carved stone columns, arches, door and window surrounds in rich golden hues are set off against buff stucco walls and heritage tile roofs. Bronze window frames (one with a Latin inscription chosen by the owner) grace the Serlianas. Bespoke gas lanterns in patinated bronze romantically illuminate the arcades and loggias, reflecting gently in the pools.
