    Stewart Avenue Residence
    Miami, 2023

    Located on a canal in South Coconut Grove, just 900 feet from Bisycane Bay, this site is in Miami’s most extreme flood zone and therefore had to be designed specially to respond to issues of hurricanes, storm surges, flooding and sea level rise. Projects located in this zone must have their first floor—as well as all mechanical equipment—raised 12 feet above sea level, requiring houses to be raised on stilts by an entire story.
