Inspired by a synthesis of the most iconic and minimal of 'High Modernist' houses (think of Farnsworth House by Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson's Glass House) and the subtropical vernacular of a hot and humid climate, Miami architect Jacob Brillhart designed and built his dream home in Spring Garden, one of Miami's oldest neighborhoods. The neighborhood and the house are both tucked in a tiny peninsula poking out into the Miami River.
