Casa
Maranello

Casa Maranello is a resort-scale residence in Delray Beach organized around one idea: the outdoors should work as hard as the house. Our brief was the layer that makes that possible — a pair of bioclimatic pergolas that turn open terrace into livable, all-season rooms.

The first pergola anchors the travertine terrace off the main house: a black louvered-roof structure over a deep lounge, positioned where the architecture meets the lawn. The second sits at the water's edge, floating a shaded conversation area on the turf beside the pool. Motorized louvers on both let the owners dial the light from full Florida sun to closed shade — and shut tight against rain, so the furniture below lives outside year-round.

The black steel frames were matched to the home's window and roofline details, so the pergolas read as part of the original architecture rather than additions. From the primary suite, the glass walls slide away and the covered lounge becomes an extension of the bedroom — one continuous floor plane from the bed to the pool.
