Hammock House
St. Augustine, Florida
Nestled within a serene oak hammock, Hammock House is designed to exist in quiet conversation with its natural surroundings. With a tight footprint that carefully preserves the mature live oaks, the home embraces the dappled light and shifting shadows of its wooded site, emphasizing openness, balance, and restraint. Thoughtful siting maximizes shade and cross-ventilation, while deep overhangs enhance passive cooling and protection from the elements.
More than a dwelling, Hammock House creates a multi-generational homesite, designed to foster connection between family members while maintaining privacy and independence. Shared spaces bring the residents together, while distinct living areas allow for retreat and solitude. In honoring both the existing heritage and landscape, Hammock House stands as a lasting, adaptable home—one that grows with its inhabitants while remaining deeply rooted in place.
