Residential

In the Pines - Parkland, Florida

Project Description

Design and Construction of new custom single family residence and separate entertainment guest house on one acres in gated community with sensitivity to existing tree and ground coverage.

Project Location

In the Pines Gated Community, Parkland Florida

Project Challenges

The concern for existing environment resulted in placement of the primary residence and pool house to reflect the attention to details and conservation. The location of the pool house takes advantage of the southwest corner of the property by enclosing the pool area and screening the neighboring property to the south. Its placement also allows for easy access and protection from the sun for the owners.

Project Description

The project consisted of the construction of a new residence designed by the acclaimed Palm Beach Architect, Jeffrey W. Smith, AIA, in collaboration with world renowned Interior Designer Mario Buatta. The project was completed in 2002 with Bruce Cianci as project manager at Miller Construction Company and was featured in the April 2006 issue of Architectural Digest. The estate is set on over 2 acres of elegantly landscaping created by Martin L. Fox, an English horticulturalist. The residence is over 16,000 sqft.

Project Location

This estate residence is located on a private island just to the west of Surfside called Indian Creek. Indian Creek is known for its large estate homes surrounding a world class golf course. The club house is also a historical landmark designed by Maurice Fatio, a well known architect in the 1920’s.

Project Challenges

The new residence replaced an older residence that was demolished. During construction the old structural piling were encountered during excavation for the basement which was built 25’ below water to house the windows and lifts for the rear covered loggia. The Covered Loggia is normally open to the bay breezes from the south but when desired or during a rain storm these 12’ high windows could be raised to stop the rain from entering into this space which was then cooled by the air conditioning system.
