New House- Palm Beach, Florida

This Palm Beach House with a free standing garage and guest house was conceived to appear as if it had originally been detached and was later connected with a 1 story non- masonry addition. It has an English terracotta tile roof, lattice work, Chinese Chippendale railings and the use of louvered shutters- all elements found in British Colonial houses in the Caribbean and other tropical locations.

The entire house is made up of masses that are 1 room deep; allowing for abundant natural light, cross ventilation and enhanced views of the ocean and gardens. The numerous porches and loggias offer shelter from the heat of the day, but don’t deter the light, air and views from flowing freely through the structure.

The entrance sequence is designed to heighten the arrival experience visually and auditorily- elegant gardens and fountains greet you and lead you to an elliptical arched entry which opens into the stair hall. This hall passes through a transverse hallway which is narrow and detailed with round arches. This creates a contrast between the primary access and secondary access end to end. This hallway leads you to an expansive view of the beach and ocean surrounded by beautiful gardens and outdoor living spaces.
