“We designed the landscape and house in tandem to ensure continuity between the exterior and interior,” diNiord says. An outdoor sling chair by Croft House sits in front of the outdoor shower under the covered patio in front of the primary bedroom.

The front door’s glass opening is accentuated by narrow extruded aluminum frames. The muntin bars are finished in an rich onyx shade to match the framing, and the pattern of the performance divided lites complements the rest of the custom Kolbe Ultra Series windows and doors throughout the house.

In the dining area, a set of three long, wood-encased windows provide treetop views.

The couple maintained much of the home’s original layout and restored ceilings that had been lowered in an earlier renovation to their prior height. Designs by Julián’s father, artist Luis Fernando Benedit, decorate the interiors alongside Julián’s and Micaela’s own works.
