South Flagler Residence

El Cid

The life of this residence began with a vision for the perfectly engineered home, customized for a discerning and artistically astute couple.

Nestled in the historic El Cid area, the heart of West Palm Beach, the home needed to balance the technical demands of a rising sea level, stringent building codes, and the standards of the city’s review board tasked with the responsibility to protect the delicate fabric of the celebrated neighborhood.

Precedent for this home is drawn on past practitioners in the Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean Revival styles like Addison Mizner and Maurice Fatio.

Details and massing alike are inspired by original sources from Andalusia and southern Spain. A humble and timeless palate blends this new home with its historically significant neighbors.
