This single-family residence is located in Surfside city, Miami. The villa is designed in a strict minimalist style, reflecting the character of Miami estates.
The house features cantilevered overhangs and sunshades. They provide shading and comfort during sun, integrating passive solar architecture principles, maximizing solar protection, and shelter outdoor areas from heavy seasonal rain in summer, while ensuring comfort, energy efficiency, sustainability, and visual clarity throughout the villa. The interplay of setbacks and projecting volumes creates dynamic patterns of light and shadow on the exterior.
Facades are made of a rain-screen system with large-format, ultra-thin quartz high-tech panels. The second-floor balconies and loggias, where human touch is possible, are finished with warm, heat-treated Canadian Pine. Floor-to-ceiling windows, including double-height glazing over the living area, flood the interior with sunlight, creating a luminous, airy, and expansive atmosphere.
The villa has five bedrooms, a master suite occupying the southern wing on the second floor, a study, a playroom, a living room, dining room, and kitchen on the first floor. The villa also has five bathrooms, and multiple dressing rooms. Three bedrooms are located on the left side of the house, while one guest bedroom faces east, toward the street-facing façade.
Exterior spaces feature a pool with terrace, patio, and cabana bathroom. The backyard includes a poolside chaise longue area connected to the living room, patio-open kitchen, and cabana bathroom. The terrace links the pool to the patio, barbecue area, and lounge. A carport sits in the front yard, while balconies and terraces are lined with lavender bushes for views and fragrance, complemented by coonties and passionflowers, as well as Coconut palm trees and Paurotis palm trees in the front yard.
