Sospiro Canal House — a sequence of volumes and courtyards that culminates in views of sun and water

Fort Lauderdale, FL
6,300 square feet
Type: Houses / Interiors
Theme: Living with Art

We designed this new house in a historic neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale. The property fronts a canal, offering water views but requiring privacy. An “H-shaped” plan creates courtyards which function as outdoor rooms sheltered from the street and the canal, and allows interior rooms to have multiple exposures.
