For a Belgian developer, specialized in minimalist architecture on the coast, Modern Villas did this quick study to show the potential of the building plot they bought in Marbella Club.
The design was made by the Brazilian team, based on the modernist, but warm, tropical minimalism so typical for this tropical country.
Modern Villas designed this home for a luxury builder, who already built several of our designs in Turks & Caicos,and now wanted to realise her own dream house in the luxury enclave of Pinecrest – Miami, FL.
What made this project extra challenging was the requirement to exactly reuse the foundation plan of an existing (quite boring) home. The house features 4/6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a home cinema, gym and office… and of course, an amazing poolscape and a pickleball court.
The design is based on Modern Villas signature luxurious minimalism – with a little touch of Palm Springs modernist creativity.
Interesting, a client from Turks & Caicos liked the plan so much that he asked us to make a similar home – but with more traditional Caribbean architecture – in Providenciales – now under construction.
