The four residences, south bay to north

The four residences head-on at dusk, each occupying one bay of the sculpted facade.

The facade

The facade at sunset, seen from the street corner, with the sculpted white frame reading against a pink sky.
820 to 826 NE 26th Avenue · west elevation

  1. 01

    The exoskeleton is what you see

    Not a balcony rail and not a screen. The white forms stand in front of the glass across the whole elevation, so every residence gets its own face on the street rather than a share of one.

  2. 02

    The metalwork is shaped by hand

    Two-inch metal, distressed with a hammer rather than bent by machine, and carried inside into the railings and hardware. No two bays repeat, so the pattern never resolves into a module.

  3. 03

    It turns both corners

    At the north end the rings and the metalwork wrap the corner and run back along the flank. At the south end the exoskeleton turns onto the terrace at the top floor.

Dusk, and then night.

The facade at sunset.
Architectural rendering of the same facade after dark.

It is a townhome.
It behaves like a house.

Built for a family that needs four or five bedrooms and more than one living space. No detail was spared
for the choosiest buyer.

  • Its own folio Each residence is a separate legal parcel with its own deed, not a share of one building.
  • Its own roof Nobody lives above you, and no roof is held in common.
  • Its own services Its own sewer connection to the city main in NE 26th Avenue, and its own 400 amp electrical service.
  • Its own pool A private pool in a private east-facing garden, one to each of the four.
  • Its own garage An enclosed garage with a two-tier lift, plus two driveway spaces. Four cars per residence.
  • Its own elevator A private pneumatic vacuum elevator serving every level, in all four homes.

Built four feet up.

The living floor sits at 8.45 feet NAVD, roughly four feet above the grade at the street and one foot five inches above the base flood elevation for the site. The garage below it carries engineered flood vents, and the two-tier lift raises a car several feet clear of the slab. Structure is 5,000 psi concrete with masonry walls and precast concrete floors, and every window and door is impact rated with Florida product approval.

Elevations and construction from the approved permit drawings. The builder further specifies integrated security cameras, Wi-Fi smoke detection, Wi-Fi controlled climate, lighting and laundry, and a tankless water heater on each of the three floors.

Four, and then never again.

Each residence occupies a full bay of the facade, ground to roof. Four or five bedrooms, a private elevator, four cars, and a pool in its own east-facing garden.

The four residences seen head-on at dusk, each occupying one bay of the facade.

  1. South end bay, and the smallest of the four. Its living level sits at grade, and in place of a full third floor it carries a terrace running the full depth of the level along its south flank.

Areas are air-conditioned square feet and exclude garage, balconies and terrace. 820’s is the 2,300 it is listed at; level areas for 822 to 826 are as given by the builder. The plans are drawn from the architect’s approved plans. Here the bedrooms are numbered in order, from level one up.

Four doors
on a street of forty.

The structure is the view.

Every principal room looks out through the exoskeleton. The arch is not something you see from the street. It is what frames the window you wake up to.

A hundred and forty years of the same idea.

  1. Casa Batllo, Barcelona: the bone-like columns and undulating stone facade.

    Casa Batlló

    Barcelona · 1904 to 1906

    Columns shaped like long bones; a facade with no vertical line in it. The move borrowed here is the one at street level: structure that visibly branches before it reaches the ground.

  2. Casa Mila, Barcelona: the rolling stone facade and wrought-iron balconies.

    Casa Milà

    Barcelona · 1906 to 1912

    Wrought iron drawn like seaweed against cut stone. The filigree on NE 26th Avenue does the same job: a fine, irregular, hand-made layer held against a heavy one.

  3. Sagrada Familia interior: branching columns rising into the vault.

    Sagrada Família

    Barcelona · begun 1882

    The forest of branching columns, and the hanging-chain model that generated them. Every arch on NE 26th Avenue is solved the same way.
