Lusic ResidenceMiami, Florida

The Miami Beach Residence is for a European family living in Miami. Positioned in a tight standard-size lot (7,500sf) and separated from the sea by Harbor Drive, the three-story house has a frontal view of the intra-coastal waterway. The organization responds to the desire to maximize water views, natural light, and vegetation. Blurring the distinction between indoors and outdoors, the house incorporates a front porch as an extension of the public areas, which can be joined to the living room by sliding a large glass façade out of the way. The second floor has bedrooms, and the last floor has a terrace, barbeque, and jacuzzi for large entertaining.
