Description
Grounded in the Modernist tenets of the Sarasota School of Architecture, with its use of open floor plans and large panes of glass, the Citrus Avenue Residence manifests the idea of a clear geometry floating above the Florida landscape. The landscape is then experienced from each interior space, providing uninterrupted connection to the environment and daylight.
In addition to providing a natural oasis in a downtown neighborhood, the site needed to facilitate the homeowners’ active lifestyles. The programming includes a lap pool, a meditation garden, and clear pedestrian circulation that lets the owners and neighbors interact in a meaningful way.
At the heart of the site is the courtyard, where a covered porch steps down into the pool garden. The long southern exposure of the courtyard is densely planted to mask sight lines from large multistory houses across the street, and a vibrant Barragan-esque accent wall with a scupper spillway circulates water to muffle the road noise.
This Garden Dialogue will be led by David Young, the project’s landscape architect.
