Located in the heart of Miami, this project was developed in a narrow lot overlooking the waterway, resulting in a one-story H-shaped layout with four wings that merge into a central gathering area. It is an incredible oasis in which no matter where you are in the house, you are surrounded by beautiful views.

We recreated a structure in the shape of a palm tree to integrate the space into the environment and recreate in a cinematographic way a scene that could be part of the context and coexist in it, this concept is a strategy of simplicity that invites us to be, look, explore and function in the landscape and with it.

This Andalusia-inspired home was designed for a former antiques dealer and connoisseur of the arts—an aerie retreat featuring lush terraces and gracious rooms. Here, space, art, objets d’art, and antique furnishings conspire to create a highly personal expression of home. The design leverages the particularly narrow site (25-foot-wide-by-110-foot-d...

There’s something singularly magical about the northern California coast, where wildflower-laden bluffs meet the churning pacific and gray whales seasonally leap from the waves. This landscape was like a siren call to a couple, both Massachusetts natives, who craved a return to life by the ocean.
