Ballast Trail Residence: Designed as a beach house in the Florida Keys, the Ballast Trail Residence defies easy description. [STRANG] has subtly blended vernacular elements such as pitched metal roofs and wood porches with modern elements such as glass bridges and stark stone walls to manifest a distinct architectural vision.

Ballast Trail Residence: The bedrock of Key Largo, the island where the home is located, is a fossilized coral reef that serves as the home's primary cladding material. Immense walls of Florida “keystone” become the organizing elements of the overall design.

This graphic represents 66 project mappings. Using satellite maps and a simple white circle, the different texturing of site and context represents the multiple locations and environments the firm has worked within: everywhere from the urban centers of South Florida, to the deserts of Dubai and mountains of Southwest Colorado.
