The challenge

A blank, ground-up lot under mature tree canopy — no existing structure to react to, and every interior decision needing to be made ahead of construction.

The vision

An interior specified in lockstep with the architecture, so cabinetry, lighting and finishes were resolved before framing began, not bolted on after.

The transformation

Interior and construction drawings were coordinated from the same set of decisions, with a muted material palette chosen to work with filtered, canopy-softened light.

Coconut Grove Modern Residence — interior detail.
Detail

Designed alongside the build.

Interior specification ran in parallel with construction drawings, so lighting, cabinetry and finishes were resolved before walls were framed, not after.

Coconut Grove Modern Residence — material study.
Detail

Filtered light, tropical canopy.

Deep-set openings and a muted material palette respond to Coconut Grove's tree cover — light that arrives filtered, never flat.
