Tarpon Bend Residence

Tarpon Bend Residence by Strang Design, one of Florida’s top integrated firms dedicated to ‘environmental modernism.’

This "smart home" was designed with the latest wellness technology from Delos and includes photovoltaic panels on the roof for energy storage, an energy efficient lighting design that works with circadian rhythm, a water filtration system used to treat the local water supply for best quality, and a mechanical system designed to supply clean air to the home.

Strang Design was tasked with designing this stunning 8,125-sq-ft eco-conscious residence, sited along the Tarpon Bend Canal front in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Their work included designing and overseeing all aspects of the architecture, interior design and decor, art advisory and landscape design. Strang took a passive design approach to help reduce the home's energy footprint. Various design moves include cross ventilation, deep overhangs, and solar panels.

One of the biggest design challenges was building and designing the client’s recording studio, which required full collaboration between various consultants, to ensure a unique and integrated environment. To honor the surrounding terrain, Strang designed the home around the existing oak trees, which makes it feel both timeless and one with nature.
