Salazar Residence

Miami, Florida
2024

narrativa y concepto

The concept behind Salazar Residence is rooted in renovation as an opportunity to redefine the living experience. The architectural proposal extended beyond material updates, focusing on spatial reorganization to enhance functionality and strengthen the connection between indoor and outdoor areas. The seamless integration between spaces reflects a contemporary residential vision, where boundaries are softened and environments interact to create a continuous and cohesive experience.

“Renovation is the act of rediscovering a space’s hidden potential and transforming it into a coherent, living experience”

Project Stages

BEFORE

Original condition of the space before development of the new architectural concept and transformation process.

DESIGN

Development of the architectural concept defining structure, function, and spatial organization of the project.

CONSTRUCTION

Execution of the approved design ensuring structural integrity, coordination, and precise implementation.

CURRENT STATE

Final condition of the space reflecting the completed design, structural resolution, and intended functionality

Structural Challenges

A full renovation of an existing residence presents significant structural challenges, particularly when optimizing layout and functionality without compromising overall stability. In this project, the architectural redesign required careful assessment of existing structural components to ensure that spatial modifications preserved the safety and structural performance of the home. Close coordination between architectural design and structural considerations was essential to enable both interior and exterior interventions, ensuring that each transformation was technically integrated within the original construction system.

Structural Compatibility

Structural compatibility was a fundamental criterion throughout the full renovation. Each architectural modification was developed with consideration for the interaction between new construction elements and the existing structure, ensuring that interventions respected the original structural logic of the residence. This approach allowed for layout and material updates without creating structural discontinuities, preserving the integrity of the construction system.

Structural Continuity and Stability

Structural continuity was addressed through comprehensive planning that ensured overall stability during and after the interventions. Design decisions were aligned with the need to maintain proper load transfer and global stability consistent with the home’s original configuration. The result is a renovation that not only transforms the space visually and functionally but also preserves structural stability as the foundation of the project.
