Marjorie Shushan Revamps a Renaissance Revival-Style Home in Florida
To interpret his vision, Shushan introduced the client to New Haven, Connecticut–based architect Ernesto Buch, who in turn brought in fellow architects Maria de la Guardia and Teofilo Victoria, of de la Guardia Victoria Architects & Urbanists, a husband-and-wife team from Coral Gables, Florida. The result is a house that is adamantly Neoclassical—from the Doric columns at the forecourt's gate and at the main entrance to the waterfront elevation, with its tall three-arched loggia and its symmetrical three-arched wings.
