After years of disrepair, the house is being renovated and is subleased to a private renter who has agreed to cover the restoration costs.

[7] The building was designed in the Modernist style by Miami architect Robert Law Weed with the needs of a Florida resident in mind.

[8] This is represented by the fact that some of the original amenities had to be replaced for them to survive the area's continental climate, with near constant warm temperatures and rainy seasons.

[10] Although it was planned to be built with poured concrete walls, the house was framed in wood in order to save money.

[12] The central part of the interior features a living and dining room connected via an aluminum staircase to an overhanging balcony with access to the terrace.

[15] Under the agreement, the private owner would receive a 30-year sublease, providing that they would cover all of the restoration costs, and open the home to the public at least once a year.
