On the northern end of Jupiter Island, this residence transforms a site once deemed unbuildable. Through collaboration with state and local regulators, height restrictions were amended to allow a two-story structure elevated 9 feet above the 100-year floodplain. Steel and concrete columns lift the home above grade, their exposed legs supporting an upper volume clad in Brazilian Ipe.
The plan reverses convention, placing four bedrooms and a media room on the second level and situating the main living spaces above to maximize panoramic ocean views. A central vertical core organizes circulation from ground-level parking to the top floor where open living areas, a master suite with private balcony, and an elevated pool terrace provide unobstructed views from the Intercoastal to the Atlantic.

On the northern end of Jupiter Island, this site was once considered unbuildable until we presented this solution to the town of Jupiter Island in 2018. Working with regulators from State and local government, we were able to amend the Town's building height restrictions, allowing us to build a two-story structure elevated on steel and concrete columns that lift the first level a full 90 above the 100-year flood plain.
The western side exposes the extended legs of the columns supporting the upper level, which is clad in Brazilian Ipe wood. The ground level includes several protected parking spaces adjacent to the home's vertical core, and offers convenient access to an elevator, the central staircase, and the top-floor main entry foyer. This central core rises through the entire structure, and it provides access to the second level's four bedrooms and a dedicated media room. The upper level living spaces provide a large open area for entertaining, along with breathtaking views of the dunes, the beach, and the ocean beyond. The adjacent master bedroom offers ample space for the Owners to enjoy both privacy and more ocean views from a private balcony. The elevated 3rd level consists of an elevated pool, and entertaining space with unobstructed, 360-degree views of the Intracoastal to the Atlantic Ocean.
