CASA CORTILE, COCONUT GROVE, CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA, 2020:

Casa Cortile is one of two houses built in the historic Coconut Grove neighborhood. The design of this home attempts to take advantage of Miami’s favorable outdoor environment and thus incorporates a variety of exterior spaces, including a pool deck and rear patio as well as a convertible front court that can accommodate parked cars, but also is meant to be a useable gathering space. Furthermore, two distinct covered exterior spaces – a rear side yard loggia and a street-facing second floor terrace – offer additional outdoor living experiences.
