The Pavilion House
Each interior space is contained within floor-to-ceiling glass, opening out to exterior spaces that continue the home's living area. The line between indoor and outdoor is blurred throughout the home, yielding a space that is greater than its parts.
Beyond the indoor/outdoor experience of each space, the architecture of the home provides a constant reminder of Florida's tropical nature. A series of extended rooflines, soffits and high windows introduces light and shadowplay throughout the interior rooms, tracking the sun throughout the day.
The architectural details of the home present dramatic shadows and highlights that evolve and dissolve throughout the day.
Throughout the day, the home is bright, airy and breezy, guided by both the architecture and the interior design. Ellen Hanson Designs appointed the home with furnishings that range between rich, colorful art and muted modern furniture.
The main entrance of the Pavilion House welcomes guests into the interior courtyard, and then to a second set of doors that enter the main home.
