ダイニングルームスペースからキッチンスペースを見る。2階をワンルームの生活スペースとし、その高さだからこそ望む事の出来る非日常的な風景を、左右対照の空間越しに、それぞれ違った表情を切り取り、それを楽しめるように考えています。

From our first meeting with the client, the process focused on a design that was inspired by the Asian Garden Theory. The home is sited to overlook a tranquil saltwater lagoon to the south, which uses barrowed landscaping as a powerful element of design to draw you through the house. Visitors enter through a path of stones floating upon a reflecting pool that extends to the home’s foundations. The centralized entertaining area is flanked by family spaces to the east and private spaces to the west. Large spaces for social gathering are linked with intimate niches of reflection and retreat to create a home that is both spacious yet intimate. Transparent window walls provide expansive views of the garden spaces to create a sense of connectivity between the home and nature. This Asian contemporary home also contains the latest in green technology and design. Photovoltaic panels, LED lighting, VRF Air Conditioning, and a high-performance building envelope reduce the energy consumption. Strategically located loggias and garden elements provide additional protection from the direct heat of the South Florida sun, bringing natural diffused light to the interior and helping to reduce reliance on electric lighting and air conditioning. Low VOC substances and responsibly, locally, and sustainably sourced materials were also selected for both interior and exterior finishes. One of the challenging aspects of this home’s design was to make it appear as if it were floating on one continuous body of water. The reflecting pools and ponds located at the perimeter of the house were designed to be integrated into the foundation of the house. The result is a sanctuary from the hectic lifestyle of South Florida into a reflective and tranquil retreat within. Photography by Sargent Architectual Photography

エントランスからダイニングキッチンを見る。コンパクトな空間でありながら、自然光を取り込む大開口と吹き抜けにより、森の中にダイニングがあるような開放感が生まれた。

The Wooden Jewel Box Custom dining room addition to an existing 70's Deckhouse. The playful design was influenced by the Asian inspired unisonian style of Frank Lloyd Wright. The result was a creative "jewel box" that is reminiscent of a tree house structure within this deeply wooden lot. -JFF Design
