The Murphy Residence is an extensive renovation project that converted an inward focused courtyard house to a pavilion-like space taking full advantage of the courtyard and adjacent waterway.

The rich palette of materials used answered the owner's desire for a warm sophisticated yet comfortable ambiance. Developing the interior design along with the architecture by incorporating the materials, finishes, detailing and eventually furnishing into the architectural concept gives the home a unified and cohesive feel.

Seibert Architects in florida / caribbean Architect Fall 2009

Seibert Architects is featured in the florida / caribbean Architect magazine Fall 2009 issue for the Cohen House's Excellence in Architecture-Renovations & Additions Merit Award. The jury that awarded Seibert Architects this award said " Florida's famous mid-century modernism is in good hands with skillful renovations like this one".

Designed by Paul Rudolph in 1954 the original owners intended for the house to be used for living, entertaining and ensemble concerts. Renovations to the house were conducted in 2005/2006 with the owner requiring that the house be documented and restored to its original state by repairing deteriorated structural components, rehabilitating the finishes and original furniture and providing modern conveniences and technologies to accommodate today's lifestyle.

Photographic prints from the original Ezra Stoller negatives were used to documents the design intent and detailing.
