Affiniti Architects, as a firm, is a member of the United States Green Building Council, along with multiple partners having LEED certification. Our work throughout the Caribbean has given us “off the grid” experience, well before it was fashionable.
As part of the Solaris home design team, Affiniti Architects has achieved the first Platinum LEED-rated residence in Florida. As a part of the LEED pilot program for residential certification, we are ahead of the curve achieving one of the first LEED residential certifications when they are established in the near future.
Affiniti Architects continuous research of wind, solar, passive, and active systems is part of our commitment. We believe architecture can be fully integrated within the requirements providing an uncompromising aesthetically pleasing result.
Designed to minimize the footprint on the existing dune, the main residence is elevated above the ground level along with guest bedroom levels and master suite level. The orientation is complemented by sun shading devices and cross ventilation features.
The roof is a combination of planted area, photovoltaic collectors and a heat sink swimming pool utilized in the conditioning of the residence. The contemporary architecture utilizes indigenous materials locally obtained in a timeless composition.
