Proposal

An application for Design Review Approval for the construction of a new 2-story home with an understory to replace an existing home. The applicant is requesting two design waivers for side elevations exceeding 60 feet in length.

From the Letter of Intent

Construction of an elegant, integrated designed 2-story residence with an 'Understory' that takes advantage of view corridor to Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami by rotating the main living area. The home is centrally located in the wedge lot and organized by 2 radiating grids super-imposed to support the architecture.

  • Construct new 2-story single-family residence with understory
  • Install raised swimming pool deck
  • Implement lush landscaping with native, salt-tolerant, Florida-friendly plants
  • Create entry lobby and parking in understory level
  • Install resilient landscaping for flood resilience and stormwater drainage
  • Implement water retention systems
  • Use cool/porous pavement materials
  • Install roof terrace with landscaping

Review and continue the application to the May 7, 2024 DRB meeting
