Los Olas - Ft. Lauderdale

This build is located in Los Olas, a unique location surrounded by canals. It is a beautiful mid-century modern gem for a busy executive who loves to entertain and enjoy the views. It had, however, been badly neglected and was close to becoming a tear-down when the client purchased it. We decided that the bones of the house should remain and that the design direction should be focused on highlighting the historical significance.

We rearranged the original floorplan to bring the kitchen from the rear to the center of the house to allow for more light. One bedroom turned into an office with views of the owner’s sailboat, while an outbuilding once used for storage was converted into a canal-side guest quarters.
