Architecture by Trussoni Architecture Group
Design & Concept by Caplow Manzano
Elevated high above sea level, this innovative home shows off Caplow Manzano’s signature “open construction”, designed to create the healthiest home available. Walls are aerated concrete and lime plaster, floors are polished cement and tile, and ceilings are exposed. The result: a hypoallergenic home with no drywall, no cavities, and no places for mold, mildew, dust, and pests to hide. A soaring glass atrium with opening wall panels conceals the plumbing for the entire home. The technically advanced structure is adapted to the urban tropics: glass fiber rods replace steel rebar and external columns allow unrivaled insulation. A large garage beneath the house expands the lot, while the rooftop deck provides views. The backyard pool terrace flows into an expansive living/dining area. Includes solar panels, EV charging, outdoor kitchen, and cabana bath. One of the first homes in Florida designed to both LEED platinum and WELL standards.
