In this house in downtown Miami, lightweight, shuttered Western red cedar doors wrap the front porch to provide privacy and protection from the weather but support natural ventilation, which is important in biophilic design. The unstained wood will age naturally.

From the rear, references to Florida Cracker architecture is more obvious, with views of the home's wide veranda and central corridor.
