# Rene Gonzalez Architects: Not the Little House on the Prairie - Hardcover

by **René González** (Author), **Michael Stavaridis** (Photographer), **Cecilia Hernández Nichols** (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

**"Gonzalez has lately emerged as one of Miami's most influential young architects." -Raul A. Barreneche, the _New York Times_**

Specializing in the design of museum and gallery spaces, hospitality, commercial retail and residential projects, Miami-based Rene Gonzalez Architects also endeavors to develop solutions to rising sea levels in coastal communities. This volume compiles drawings and photographs of a residence on Prairie Avenue in Miami designed by the firm in 2018. Inspired by red mangrove trees, the dwelling hovers entirely above the ground plane. A lush garden covers most of the site and absorbs enormous quantities of water. Charles Renfro celebrates the building thus: "Is this blown-up modernism, a house made of fragments and gaps, also a new gay architecture? If so, it is but one of the many ways this compact complex house performs, one that in so many ways pulls modernism forward into a brave new world of sensuality, sexuality and lifestyle. Within it, social progress has found a new architecture."
