Inspired Modern Living
When tasked with designing a home on this stunning oceanfront site, it was
evident that views, light, and the beachfront context would be the driving force.
The KODA team took inspiration from the numerous catamarans that line the sand
beyond and explored how the geometry of their components could be expressed
through architecture.
In the design, the sail became a ribbon that wraps around the building and envelops
the third floor. Alternating projections orient the east façade with the shoreline
and thrust occupants of the primary suite into the view. Continuing the motif of a
vessel, wing walls along the north and south flank the terrace, framing the primary
view.
The building's site design acts as an extension of the beach and dune directly
across the street. The primary objective was to create a beautiful and functional
design rooted in Delray Beach's natural environment, celebrating its distinct
coastal character and maritime setting.
