The House on Avocado Avenue in Coconut Grove, Florida arranges the public spaces as being buffered from the street by the garage, acting as a “wall” for privacy.  The entry sequence is such that the side setback is used as the “filter” to the house, deliberately set 25 feet deeper into the lot than expected, creating a “funnel” effect, with an explosion of light once inside the structure.
