Located on the banks of Choctawhatchee Bay along the Emerald Coast of Florida, this permanent residence sits among the 100-year-old Southern Live Oaks and exists at the convergence of local vernacular, wave theory, and environmental responsibility.
This family’s connection to the bay is palpable. From daily cruising to competitive fishing, the bay’s water is a crucial part of everyday life. This strong connection became a cornerstone of design influencing both the home’s organization & visual relationship to the water.
Incorporating the architectural southern heritage of the region, using vernacular materials both on the interior and exterior was important. But to reflect further, the design also incorporates spiritual and ritualistic symbols of the indigenous Muscogee Indian tribe experienced between water and fire upon entry.
Desiring to go even deeper, we sought to explore the mathematics of water and how it could influence the design of the house. Specifically, we studied how water relates to a boat traveling upon it. This process led us to a study by the US Navy and the effects that waves have on the hull of a boat. We allowed this wave theory to influence the geometries and forms of the roof structure and planes, creating a holistic organizational language.
Using lumber reclaimed from a previous structure on the site as flooring, sourcing locally quarried stone, placing the new home on piles reducing its impact on the site, managing rainwater, heat island reductions, to using efficient water and energy systems, this residence meets LEED Silver certification criteria.
