珊瑚山墙城有一个指令性的分区规则，它倾向于历史的“风格”而不是当代的设计。我们的客户对现代住宅的幻想与伦敦金融城以古典为导向的设计规范之间的明显冲突，有助于为设计提供信息。

The City of Coral Gables has a prescriptive zoning code that favors historical “styles” over contemporary design. This apparent conflict between our client’s fantasy of a modern home and the City’s classically-oriented design code helped to inform the design.

“城市一侧”的外观表现为两个有约束的石板卷-一个“面具”的材料，非常认同珊瑚山墙的建筑。较低的音量是粗糙的佛罗里达Keystone，较大的主体积被磨过的石灰石覆盖，面具只被西面上的两个开口和上面的一个“玻璃”穿透。几乎看不到街道上的房子-甚至雕塑屋顶的推力也隐藏在视线之外。

The “City-side” façade presents itself as two restrained stone-clad volumes – a “mask” clad in material very much identified with the architecture of Coral Gables. The lower volume is rough-hewn Florida Keystone and the larger, main volume is clad in honed limestone.  The mask is penetrated by only two openings on the western façade and a “frieze” of windows above. Very little of the house is visible from the street – even the thrust of the sculptural roof is hidden from view.

在“海湾边”，房子的真实性质和客户对我们时代的屋顶、玻璃墙和建筑材料的渴望是公开表达的。这座城市对倾斜瓷砖屋顶的要求被重新解释为一系列的倾斜面，它们的上表面覆盖着光伏电池，漂浮在玻璃墙之上。

On the “Bay-side” the true nature of the house and the Client’s desire for soaring roofs, glass walls and building materials of our time are openly expressed. The City’s requirement of sloping tiled roofs was re-interpreted in a series of sloping planes, their upper surfaces clad in photovoltaic cells, floating above glass walls.
