The back, south side of the house is all glass. The original umbrella extended out to surround and shade the pool area. The Ciullas intend to restore the umbrella as it was, having already placed footings for the new columns. The spatial organization of the house can also be seen here. A large, two-story center space is flanked by two stacked bedrooms on the left and a kitchen with bedroom above on the right. The 32-inch module of the off-the-shelf jalousie windows is also evident.

This is the south side of the Umbrella House in the evening. Clearly, something to shade all that south-facing glass is needed.

When we lived in Singapore, a place with a hot and humid climate if there ever was one, many carried an umbrella to shade themselves from the sun as they went about their daily routine. If an umbrella can help keep a person cooler, why not place an umbrella over the entire house? It was no surprise that the owners of the iconic Umbrella House started saving 30 percent on their air conditioning costs after they restored the home's "umbrella."

"Spatial organization." While a term like "spatial organization" is a little dense, it really just means how the rooms (or spaces) in a building are arranged. If your architect tells you, "The spatial organization is en suite," ask him or her to explain what this means like you're a 5-year-old.

love the concept!

wonderful. they used to do a version of this in old florida...and did "roof over'" leaving a space for air to breeze through and insulate.

Cooling effect/ umbrella

Space between the roof and the umbrella ? A lovely hospitable place for bats and other warm and dark loving creatures ,how does one circumvent that ?
