Mediterranean Villa, Gables Estates

Coral Gables was drawn as a city of arcades, plazas and coral stone — and this villa is one of its most complete surviving statements.

A careful restoration kept the original arched loggia and barrel-tile roofline while opening the rear of the house to the garden in a single span of glass.

The grounds are the argument: mature oaks, a reflecting pool aligned to the entry axis, and a guest pavilion at the far edge of the lawn.
