Private Residence, Key Largo, FL
This
project entails a new custom residence that was designed and
placed upon an existing foundation. This presented unique design
challenges.
Located
in world famous Key Largo, FL the vacation / getaway home had to meet
extensive zoning and association requirements including and not limited
to a review by a plant Biologist to be certain that indigenous plant
life was not disturbed and that no invasive species were being
introduced to the fragile ecosystem.
The design reflects a
Tidewater Colonial aesthetic and classic features with a few modern
hints. The site is thickly vegetated and affors the residents
privacy in sub-tropical surroundings. Due to the location and
surrounding waters of the Florida Keys, the main living area is located
approximately fourteen feet 14' above see level. in the event of
flooding and living quarters have a reasonable expectation of
maintaining a sufficient height above flooding levels. The lowest
habitable height is approx. seven feet (7') above Mean Sea Level (MSL)).
