He and Strang made a formidable team.
‘This design echoes some of the timeless modern sensibilities from Coconut Grove’s midcentury architecture,’ Strang explains. ‘I did not want this building to be one of the ubiquitous white boxes that proliferate [across] the Miami skyline. I took inspiration from Alfred Browning Parker’s famous Woodsong Residence and also a nearby botanical garden, The Kampong, known for its engagement of the local limestone.
Not that the project was entirely challenge-free, although any obstacle only helped make this a more finely tuned and considered piece of architecture. ‘The biggest [design challenge] was probably on the rooftop, with its pool and cabanas,’ de Cárdenas recalls. ‘We had to create a space that was as grand and expansive and spectacular as it was intimate. This meant balancing openness with privacy and comfort; embracing the surrounding environment while also creating some separation from it.
