A retrospective look at the San Marco Residence
- The New York Times
[Raise] above existing grade, accommodating this home to its South Floridian climate:
- Constricted by site conditions, resulting in an open air courtyard.
- Adapted by utilizing protective louvers and deep overhangs for interior spaces.
- Raised to accommodate the occasional hurricane, and the uncertainties of sea level rise.
The home is organized around a garden courtyard, a time-tested strategy which was regularly employed by Florida’s mid-century modernists such as Paul Rudolph and Gene Leedy. In this iteration, however, the challenges of a constricted site combined with a prescriptive zoning code to result in a two-story courtyard that is open to one side.

The design of the San Marco Residence demonstrates a careful interconnection of privacy and transparency. Interior spaces are nested within a complex arrangement of sun-shielding forms, while protective louvers provide further expression of the building’s adaptation to its specific climate.
