Text description provided by architect.

Registered with the USGBC, this modern home is anticipated to be Winter Haven’s first LEED-certified residence.

The interior living areas are conceived as wooden volumes nestled within an outer stucco “shell”.

The shell provides generous eight-foot overhangs, which shelter the walls of glass from the Florida sun.

A narrow courtyard amplifies the arrival experience and creates a privacy barrier for the private realm of the home.

The home incorporates important passive environmental design concepts that result in abundant day-lighting and cross-ventilation potential.

Glazing on the south elevation is extremely limited and a mature oak tree filters afternoon solar heat gain. Active environmental design features include a solar photovoltaic system, solar hot-water heaters, geothermal HVAC and LED lighting.

The one-story home, located on a Central Florida lake, contains four bedrooms and a kitchen, dining room, living room and office. 

A pool and covered terrace are positioned along the lake-side of the home.
