880 NE 78th St

This architecturally outstanding home combines a bold water-oriented design with an industrial aesthetic befitting its dynamic neighborhood. The house embraces its vibrant and active waterfront, integrating a 52’ boat slip into the building and a dock on each side. Just barely on “terra firma,” a glass-enclosed living pavilion brings the life aquatic elegantly indoors. Two additional pavilions contain the home theatre, three bedrooms, and a particularly decadent indoor-outdoor master suite. Common and private spaces cluster around four intimate courtyards—containing a pool, koi pond, and guava shade trees—extending the living areas outside. A 120’ long, 20’ high gallery links the pavilions and courtyards alike, along a monumental axis crowned by a sculptural, undulating ceiling of light.
