Located on a narrow 0.57-acre mixed-use commercial site in the renowned community of Seaside, Florida, this project accommodates 27 residential units, 1,300 square feet of commercial space, a 300-square-foot community room and 31 subterranean parking spaces.
The narrow edge of the site fronts the highway, with ground floor commercial and residential above. One of the two longer sides of the site is adjacent to a four-story commercial structure. The other side neighbors two- and three-story residential. The project blends this transition with much of the upper floor square footage concealed in the roof structure. Dormer windows, projecting porches, building recesses, and a swimming pool court provide for a varied form that is less massive and more residential in scale and appropriate to the neighborhood context.
