Milam Residence

The late modernist home has an unusual facade of large geometrical shapes facing the ocean.

[1][4] Rudolph returned to design other outbuildings when Milam was married in 1969: the additions included a small guest house, a three-car garage, and a swimming pool.

[8] Sheila Lee Davies, an Atlanta-based architect, planned to repair the building at an estimated cost of $1.3 million.

[5] Rudolph designed the home with an orthogonal facade; the geometric shapes are a striking and unusual visual element.

[8] The squares and rectangles are not only a striking visual element, they also serve a purpose by providing shade to the interior rooms.

[10] The Sarasota School of Architecture was known for designing buildings with straight lines, and seamless transitions between indoor-outdoor spaces.
