Las Olas Residence | Hugo Mijares

This project is part of a personal exploration where different volumes and the void generated between them are protagonist. The volume was proposed as a large white box that has been excavated, with different “cubes” of various materials (wood, white stucco, etc.) appearing within. The social area on the first level was turned with a dual purpose: First, to lay out the social area on the first level so that it overlooks not only the canal in the back of the house, but also the pool area and boardwalk . Second, to break the continuity of the orthogonal walls of nearby houses, generating a particular vantage point from the street leading to the canal.
