Architecture firm SAOTA, have recently completed their first project in Miami, Florida, in collaboration with DVice, the architect of record, Nils Sanderson, the interior designer, and Brodson, the construction company.
The modern house design was inspired by open plan living. The indoor/outdoor design makes it an easy-living family home.

Inside, the living room sits beside an internal courtyard and a mirrored wall. A large glass wall opens the living room to the rear of the house that has a large outdoor entertaining area and swimming pool.

Surrounding the pool is a deck with covered areas, like a lounge area and an outdoor dining space. Palm trees are scattered around the pool, making it feel like a tropical getaway.

A great deal of time and effort went into the design of the pool courtyard,” says Mark Bullivant, SAOTA director. “Time was spent understanding the use of the spaces, including how and when the pool will be used. The outdoor area is animated by a series of events; whether that be the hot tub, BBQ, bar, or a two-storey waterslide. The waterslide forms a focal point at the pool pavilion and makes the space appealing for entertaining.”
