Ozona waterfront

Modern

We call this home ‘The Lighthouse’ because of the variety of ways it interacts with and defines light: both natural and manmade.  Because of the home’s waterfront location, the owners wanted a modern home built to withstand hurricanes.  We designed with that in mind, as well as an aesthetic that expresses the true materials of the home and endures in the harsh Florida coastal climate: poured concrete, steel, and minimal stone and wood. During the day, the rooftop solar array captures sunlight for energy use in the home, and the structural steel SIPS panel roof and deep balcony overhangs provide thermal comfort no matter the season.   

In the morning, sunlight streams through the colored glass blocks scattered on the east wall of the 3 story stair.  At day’s end, the home’s strong geometry and large openings frame spectacular sunset views to the west.
