Bal Harbour Residence in Florida by SDH Studio Architecture + Design

Article source: SDH Studio Architecture + Design

Nestled in a corner lot in the heart of Bal Harbour Village this home was designed for a family that truly enjoys outdoor living, the intimacy of family life, but at the same time love to entertain. They have a passion for nature and therefore blurring the lines between the interior and the exterior of the home became our number one design goal.

However, in the process of fulfilling this goal, we encounter a major challenge. The house would have its two main facades facing the street. Therefore privacy became another important factor that needed to be considered.

Taking all this into consideration the design developed as a play of volumes and planes that create a playful balance between interior privacy and outdoor views of the exterior landscape.

An open floorplan concept was adopted to make everyday living extremely comfortable for the entire family while being the perfect setup for entertaining. The main living areas are double-height volumes with floor to ceiling sliding glass doors that fill the interior space with natural light while being completely surrounded by the spectacular views of the outdoors.
