EVERGLADES RESIDENCE

Everglades City, FL

Located on a 4 acre lot, the everglades house was designed for a couple's weekend retreat. The 1,500 sf home rests on a series of columns preserving the natural features of the surrounding hammock by minimizing the footprint of the building. The house is surrounded by trees that act as a canopy to maintain the house cool in the South Florida climate. The elevated floor plan enhances the expansive views of the everglades and an outdoor deck allows for the occupants to walk into the treeline and enjoy the nature and what it has to offer.
