Turquoise House
This residence is organized around a cross-axis, with a primary axis aligned with the entry walkway beside a linear reflecting pool. This pool extends as a lap pool at the living room, merging indoor and outdoor aesthetics. A distinctive second-level balcony is halved by a glass wall, while the exterior features hard trowel pigmented stucco and stainless steel railings. Mitchell O'Neil's "Turquoise House" design was honored with an award from the American Institute of Architects for its architectural excellence.
The home exemplifies contemporary design, blending materials such as textured concrete and expansive glass windows to create striking visual and structural harmony. Its exterior showcases bold forms with both flat and curved roofing, accentuated by strategically placed pools and lighting that underline its elegance.
Inside, vibrant living spaces seamlessly integrate mid-century modern furnishings with expansive glass sections, creating an inviting, light-filled environment. Artistic elements and thoughtful design ensure both energy and comfort across all areas.
Central to the design is an emphasis on open living, with features like elegant staircases and expansive lounges enhancing fluidity between spaces. Poolside terraces with lush landscaping offer an opulent tropical retreat, perfect for luxury outdoor living.
Arriving via a palm-lined driveway, the home exudes grandeur, harmoniously blending architecture with nature. This modern sanctuary encapsulates innovative design and comfort, providing a unique, serene living experience within its elegant and functional spaces.
