Subtropical Design

Located in a mature oak hammock, the clients of La Escondida requested a house that celebrated the lush vegetation and beauty of the landscape while also providing privacy for the family. The structure is oriented so the views from each room focus on specific trees in the landscape.

The house, “Out of the Blue,” was inspired by the many vibrant shades of blue characteristic of vibrant Cat Cay’s sea. The nature-inspired palette connects the house to the local beauty of the island: relaxing white and pastel blue walls contrast the vivid colors of the tropical seas and gardens. The house features elements with roots in the Bahamian tradition and allows for 20 feet of gorgeous, uninterrupted ocean views.

Winner of the 20148 AIA Florid Merit Award for Masonry in Design, the concept design and materiality for this flagship retail site were inspired by the Dade County pine forest and coral-rock bluffs.

Winner of the 2020 AIA Miami Divine Detail/Honor, Lincoln Road's Nike Flagship seamlessly marries Nike’s global design brand with the local culture of Miami Beach’s historic block.
