SKY LAKE
TYPE: RESIDENTIAL RENOVATION
LOCATION: AVENTURA
SIZE: 1,000 sq ft
STATUS CONSTRUCTION
SKY LAKE IS A RESIDENTIAL RENOVATION CONSISTING OF A 1,000 SQ RENOVATION TO COMBINE TWO BEDROOMS AND TWO BATHROOMS INTO ONE MASTER SUITE. ONE OF THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE PROJECT WAS TO BRING MORE LIGHT INTO THE MASTER BATHROOM AND ALLOW THE CLIENT TO FEEL CLOSER TO THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT WHILE IN THE BATHROOM. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WE REPLACED THE WALLS WITH FULL FLOOR TO CEILING WINDOWS AND A SLIDING GLASS DOOR WHICH CONNECTED TO THE NEW EXTERIOR COURTYARD SPACE.
SITE PLAN
THE PROJECT SITS ON A LARGE LOT NEAR SKY LAKE AND CONSISTS OF MULTIPLE ADDITIONS ON THE REAR OF THE HOUSE. THIS PROJECT WAS FOCUSED ON RENOVATING THE MASTER SUITE.
CONCEPT DIAGRAMS
THE PROJECT AIMED TO TAKE THE EXISTING TWO ROOMS AND TRY TO MAKE THEM MORE FEEL MORE CONNECTED WHILE ALSO KEEPING ENOUGH OF A BOUNDARY TO MAKE THEM FEEL AS DISTINCT SPACES. WE STARTED WITH COMPLETELY OPENING UP THE TWO ROOMS TOGETHER AND THEN USED A SINGULAR PIECE OF MILLWORK THAT CONNECTED THE TWO ROOMS TO PROVIDE A PHYSICAL CONTINUITY. HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO ROOM SO WE THEN THICKENED THE CENTRAL MASS OF THE MILLWORK TO ACT AS A MEDIATOR BETWEEN THE TWO SPACES WHILE THE CONTINUOUS MILLWORK STILL ACTED AS A VISUAL CONTINUITY BETWEEN THE TWO SPACES.
