WHY
At Caplow Manzano we believe in adaptation. We are committed to creating architecture that will withstand the test of climate and time. We embrace sustainable and resilient design, minimizing reliance on non-renewables sources. As Miami faces increasing sea level rise and climate change we focus on exceeding elevation standards and building homes that will last at least 100 years - promoting stability, community, and long-term value. We believe in the future of Miami
Design for Life
We think adaptation to our environment requires a complete reinvention of the home from the inside out, so that we prevent health problems before they happen.
Hypostruction: Life without Drywall
After six years of tearing apart conventional notions of what should be inside a home, we have developed a design philosophy that we call hypostruction.
Ready for a Century of Sea Level Rise
With a changing climate, we are observing rising seas, and scientists expect this trend to accelerate over the next 100 years. When we design a house to be ready for a century of rising seas, the question we face is, how high is high enough?
