FOUR – INCORPORATE THE FOUR MAIN DESIGN CONCEPTS OF LIGHT, WATER, STRUCTURE AND INNOVATION

TWO – DESIGNING IS NEVER COMPLETE – A SECOND CHANCE TO UPDATE THIS HOME WITH TODAY’S MODERN TECHNOLOGY

ONE – BE THE FIRST CUTTING EDGE MODERN HOME BUILT ON ISLE OF CAPRI IN 2003

THIS MODERN 3-STORY PRIVATE HOME WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED BY WOODY FRIESE IN 2001 AND COMPLETED IN 2004. THIS PROJECT WAS DERIVED FROM MODERN HOME CONCEPTS DEVELOPED AND STUDIED IN CALIFORNIA BY BOTH THE OWNER AND ARCHITECT. ONCE THE DESIGN IDEAS WERE ESTABLISHED, THEN BECAME THE LONG PROCESS OF MATERIAL SOURCING IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH SOUTH FLORIDA’S HURRICANE CODE. AFTER 2 YEARS OF CONTRUCTION THE REINFORCED CONCRETE AND STEEL STRUCTURE BECAME A BECON FOR MODERN ARCHITECTURE ON THE LAS OLAS ISLE’S OF FORT LAUDERDALE.

FAST FORWARD TO 2021 AND NOW 421 WAS PURCHASED BY A NEW OWNER WHO EMBRACES MODERN ARCHITECTURE. CURRENTLY, THE HOUSE IS BEING COMPLETELY RENOVATED AND BROUGHT INTO “MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE OF 2020”.

UPON ENTRY YOU EXPERIENCE A 3-STORY ENTRY FOYER WITH GLASS ELEVATOR, FLOATING STEEL STAIRCASE AND DIRECT VIEW OF THE FLOATING SCULPTURE GARDEN. THE OPEN GREAT ROOM WITH 2-STORY CEILINGS PROVIDES VISIBILITY TO THE KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM. A PRIVATE MAIDS QUARTER, LAUNDRY ROOM, OFFICE, 2 POWDER ROOMS AND SPACE FOR 3 CAR GARAGE ARE ALL LOCATED ON THE MAIN LEVEL. THE SECOND FLOOR WITH 10 FOOT CEILINGS ADDS 3 ADDITIONAL BEDROOM SUITES AND A GRAND MASTER SUITE. THE THIRD FLOOR HAS A GAME ROOM WITH DIRECT ACCESS TO ROOF TOP DECKS THAT CONTAIN ENTERTAINING AREA AND JACUZZI.

THE REAR YARD WAS DESIGNED TO CREATE A RESORT ENVIRONMENT. THE CANTILEVERED GAZEBO HOST A SWIM UP BAR WITH SEATING AND OUTDOOR BBQ KITCHEN. A UNIQUE SWIM THRU WATERFALL PROVIDES ANOTHER DRAMATIC FEATURE OF THE GAZEBO. THE POOL HAS A TIERED WATERFALL THAT FLOWS INTO THE JACUZZI, A LOUNGE SHELF AND 2 FIRE BOWLS. THE HOME IS LOCATED ON THE LAS OLAS ISLE’S AREA OF FORT LAUDERDALE.
