A single-family residence in Biscayne Point, the Cossu Residence lifts the main living space, an allusion to the firm’s adapting to sea level rise. Our goal was to create a modern and minimalist home that feels warm and inviting, with a strong indoor-outdoor connection.
This project design was inspired by a desire for a modern yet timeless home with interconnected spaces. Our team’s emphasis was on balancing raw and refined textures to create harmony. We strategically used integrated lighting to highlight architectural details and enhance ambiance. There is a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor areas, fostering a connection with nature.
The first level comprises the garage and storage, with the approach moving through the middle of two volumes. Moving through an interior bridge connects the two, creating a courtyard before moving through the house. Wood louvers and cladding complements the exposed concrete as a primary material.
Deep overhangs help with sun shading, while planters immerse the private terraces into the Florida native landscape. Advanced lighting solutions were seamlessly integrated into the architecture. While smart home systems were incorporated for enhanced comfort and efficiency. The project employed high-performance materials selected for durability and warmth, suitable for the coastal environment. The design utilized natural materials like wood and stone, clean architectural lines, and soft lighting as well as precise detailing to ensure a cohesive and intentional design.
