Mellet & Human Architects designed a previous house in South Africa for this client, who again asked the firm for a design on an exclusive waterfront lot in Bay Point, Miami. It is situated in a well-established gated community with easy waterway access to Biscayne Bay. Due to scarcity and of land here, the request was that full use be made of the development rights on the property. The design also had to conform to the strict hurricane and flood level building codes set by the City of Miami.
