Hurricane damage to the first floor of this unique Riverside home put its future at risk in 2017, almost 50 years after it was originally built for the Fisher Family by architects Fisher and Associates of Jacksonville. The building was in need of various design modifications and updates to revive and modernize the original design concept: to create an open and light-filled upper floor living space that embraced the Saint Johns River.
ZINN Architecture and Interiors not only designed but oversaw the loving restoration of this neighborhood gem. While the entire structure was gutted to the studs, the floor plan was preserved and augmented, with the central stair being completely re-constructed as a central feature connecting the living room and kitchen. The lines of the facade were refined to more closely resemble the original proportions proposed in 1978, creating a lighter front assembly that floats in front of the river-facing facade.
