project status: under construction
This 7,000 sq ft ground-up Organic Modern Waterfront Home in Fort Lauderdale’s Dolphin Isles is designed as both a private sanctuary and a stage for sophisticated entertaining.
Behind the design: client vision & our strategy
The couple envisioned a home that feels like their favorite five-star resorts—serene, refined, and effortless. It needed to flexible enough for family gatherings with their five sons and sophisticated entertaining with business and political leaders.
Our strategy began with a lifestyle-first floor plan. Expansive glass walls capture intracoastal views, while the pool, spa, fire pit, and kitchen were carefully arranged into the waterfront footprint.
Inside, warm neutrals, natural textures, and custom details like porcelain-clad cabinetry and micro-cement finishes create a calm yet sophisticated backdrop. Together, these elements transform the residence into a true personal resort for retreat, connection, and hospitality.
Organic Modern Waterfront Home Design in Fort Lauderdale
This three-story, 7,000 sq ft residence in Fort Lauderdale’s Dolphin Isles is a study in Organic Modern living, where architecture and interior design work seamlessly to create a private resort on the water. Every image in this gallery reflects the carefully planned spaces and curated palette of materials, finishes, and fixtures selected to bring the vision to life.
Natural Finishes for Organic Modern Interior Design
The home’s design aesthetic is grounded in natural textures and warm neutrals, lending a resort-like calm to its expansive interiors. Porcelain-clad cabinetry in the kitchen balances sophistication with durability, while lime-wash walls and micro-cement bathroom finishes add tactile depth and relaxed elegance. Across all three levels, clean architectural lines and refined details establish a sense of understated luxury that never overwhelms the waterfront setting.
Indoor–Outdoor Living in Dolphin Isles Waterfront Homes
Walls of impact glass line the rear of the home, capturing long intracoastal views while filling the interiors with natural light. Multiple living spaces open directly onto terraces, ensuring that the transition from indoors to outdoors is effortless. Outdoor areas were designed with as much care as the interiors: a pool with integrated spa, fire pit lounge, outdoor kitchen, and dining terrace all connect fluidly to the home, creating an environment equally suited to intimate family gatherings or large-scale entertaining.
Spaces for Family, Entertaining, and Retreat
Inside, the open-concept main living level is designed for hosting, anchored by expansive water views down the intracoastal canal. Bedrooms and private retreats occupy the upper levels, where the same Organic Modern aesthetic continues in spa-like bathrooms and serene sleeping suites. Every detail—from the placement of clerestory windows to the integration of natural finishes—was chosen to maximize light, privacy, and comfort.
