Coral Gables

ALTAMIRA

The architectural style of the house is modern architecture, or modernist architecture. Geometry is pure. Ornamentation is absent. Materials can be counted with one hand: Glass, stucco, wood, steel, and natural stone flooring. Form follows function. Spatial organization is structural organization. Floors and walls extend to frame views, making the façade a reflection of what goes on in the interior. Vertical and horizontal spaces are defined inside and out.
