Nestled in the heart of Gables by the Sea, one of Coral Gables’ most storied waterfront enclaves, Casa Sol will stand as a contemporary expression of Tropical Modernism, seamlessly integrated with its idyllic surroundings. The residence is envisioned as a sanctuary of light, air, and water, drawing inspiration from the unique geography of its site, a property that embraces the waterway on two sides, offering sweeping south and southeasterly views of the tranquil and ever-changing maritime landscape.

Gables by the Sea is more than a neighborhood—it is a nautical haven, a place where generations of residents have found solace in the rhythm of the tides and the quiet luxury of waterfront living. The couple who will call Casa Sol home already share a deep connection with this special community, currently residing in an existing home within Gables by the Sea. Their vision for this new residence is born from an enduring love of the water, a desire to embrace the elements, and a commitment to an architectural language that is both modern and timeless.

Casa Sol is designed to harmonize with its natural setting and urban context. The architecture is a deliberate response to the site’s orientation, privacy considerations, and engagement with the water, ensuring that every space within the home is bathed in natural light and enjoys uninterrupted water vistas. Expansive overhangs and deep terraces provide shading and extend the living experience outdoors, while carefully curated the scale of the outdoor elements and landscaping softens the transition between built and natural environments. The material palette—warm woods, natural textured stone, glass, shading devices, and a crisply articulated architectural enclosure—reflects the tropical ethos of South Florida, creating a dialogue between the built form and its lush surroundings.

Gables by the Sea is a neighborhood of distinguished, eclectic residences, where old and new coexist in a rich architectural tapestry. Casa Sol will be a valuable addition to this community, its design reinforcing the essence of what makes Gables by the Sea so beloved: an intimate connection to the water, a respect for the past, and an embrace of a contemporary yet enduring tropical architectural vision. In this home, light, breeze, view and water will converge to create a place of serenity, beauty, and belonging.
