Unlike many stark white boxes spotted along Florida’s Gulf Coast, Betonhaus uses raw concrete, wood accents and subtle color to warm the overall aesthetic and add additional layers of detail to the design. “Warm modern” is a new modern typology that invites inhabitants to actually live in the space rather than feel alienated. It is warm, family-friendly and easy to live in. The conditioned 5,500 square feet is elevated on the second floor via elevator and feature atrium staircase climbing a polished architectural concrete wall.
