Project Description

Heliopolis Villa

Sarasota, FL

The project is 25,000sf villa on a one acre site outside of the city center.

Concept: TRANSFORMATIONAL COURTYARD
The house is organized around a central exterior courtyard space. The part of the building closest to the main street entry is the most formal part of the house and contains the living and dining areas. As one moves through the interior, the house becomes less formal and increasingly private. The “family” wing is more relaxed with less definition between different areas. The third wing of the U-shaped house is the recreation wing. This is a flexible open space plan which accommodates a range different activities.
