This luxury custom home in Gulfstream, Florida is designed to seamlessly blend historic coastal architecture with modern resort-style living. Located within one of Dade County’s most architecturally significant historic districts, the residence draws inspiration from the timeless character, proportions, and material palette of traditional Gulf Stream-Bermuda Style.
Our extensive experience designing within highly restrictive communities—including landmark districts in New York City and the iconic coastal vernacular of Martha’s Vineyard—allows us to balance preservation-minded design with innovation. Rather than replicating historic styles, the home reimagines classic South Florida architectural elements through refined detailing, open floor plans, and seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces.
The compact, load-bearing masonry design is rooted in a deep understanding of the region’s architectural history and climate-responsive principles. Traditional features such as white cement tile roofs, white stucco walls, window shutters and deep eaves enhance energy efficiency, reduce heat gain, and maximize comfort throughout the year. The result is a sophisticated coastal residence that feels authentic to Gulfstream’s historic context while offering the functionality and flexibility of a modern luxury home. At the center of the property, expansive glass openings connect the interior living spaces to a lush private outdoor retreat featuring a linear swimming pool, landscaped gardens, and generous entertaining areas. Open-concept interiors, abundant natural light, and thoughtfully designed transitions between indoor and outdoor environments create an elevated living experience inspired by the relaxed elegance of South Florida coastal living.
This bespoke Gulfstream residence represents a thoughtful fusion of historic district architecture, luxury residential design, sustainable coastal planning, and contemporary lifestyle amenities—crafted to feel timeless, livable, and uniquely connected to place.
