Meditative Hacienda - Restoring a Spanish Revival for Modern Living South Florida’s distinct interpretation of Spanish Revival in modern architecture– is a confluence of Latin-inspired styles, subtropical materials, and organic shapes. Sensing something special about this 70s modern home, the new owners of the 4,200 square-foot residence in Miami sought to preserve the history and essence of the building while improving the experience. The result is a thoughtful renovation that honors the home’s architectural identity and history while introducing a design that feels true to its original character and enhances the qualities that make it unique. In lieu of a modern renovation, Studio Rodrigo Buelvas improved upon some of the home’s winning features while personalizing and enhancing the living experience and functionality for a contemporary family. This project – a five-bedroom, three-bath residence with only two previous owners – began as an engineering consultation and evolved into a considerate enhancement that responds to the needs of the new homeowners. Before the transformation, the house felt small and dark with walls blocking the views to the lush tropical landscape. By opening the connection between the social-gathering areas and introducing natural light and warm interior finishes, the entire home feels more spacious and now has beautiful views of the flora and fauna.
