The house on Gomez Road occupies a constrained site within an established neighborhood on Jupiter Island. Flat and bounded by adjacent homes, the property lacks direct water access and relies on careful siting, landscape, and section to establish privacy and spatial order.
The 3,400-square-foot residence is organized as a two-story L-shaped structure that balances openness with enclosure. The plan uses compression and release to screen neighboring properties while creating a generous interior condition. A poured-in-place concrete structure provides durability in a hurricane-prone environment and establishes a precise framework for light and movement.
Clerestory glazing and frameless openings introduce daylight deep into the plan, extending views into the surrounding landscape. A grass roof and the placement of a mature Ficus aurea reinforce privacy and contribute to thermal performance, further integrating the building with its site. An external stair provides a secondary entry to the upper-level guest suite and introduces a vertical counterpoint to the home’s horizontal organization.
A pool adjacent to the primary living spaces reflects light into the interior, subtly animating the concrete and stucco surfaces. Interior finishes, including stucco and terrazzo, reference local building traditions while remaining durable and restrained. The kitchen functions as the social center of the house, opening directly to the pool and outdoor living areas.
