Johnson House
Lighthouse Point, Florida
1969
The site was a corner waterfront lot adjacent to a bridge over the side canal. The client was a family with three children who requested a "FUN" house. The floor plan shows the bedrooms for the two sons and daughter on the second floor with a spiral stair accessed from the Family Room below which incorporated a stage for the family band to perform.
This was the first of several houses using sprayed stucco on curving concrete block walls and Cedar shingles on frame walls, both exterior and interior. Interior ceilings were the exposed 2"x10" framing lumber spaced 16" on center that was the structure of the floor or roof above (including anchor straps and cross bracing).
