Hyde Park House
Hyde Park
Tampa, Florida

Once a single-level bungalow, this private residence was renovated and reconfigured to add more space for the owners’ expanding family. The first of its kind in this historic enclave, this modern home embraces indoor-outdoor living by having the living room, kitchen and adjoining deck all coming together to create a fluid and inviting family space - the unequivocal heart of the home. With ten-foot ceilings, polished concrete floors and light flooding in from all directions the space immediately feels open, airy and welcoming.

Although openness and togetherness was the clients’ biggest objective, there is also a strategic inclusion of “nook” spaces, which add quieter and cozier opportunities for respite. The dining room, located where the old sunroom stood, is tucked away off of the living room. With cozy built-in bench seating flanked by rows of windows, the sunny space feels special and private, without being completely closed off from the adjoining public space.

The open staircase, a focal point of the home, leads to the more private sleeping quarters upstairs. Traveling up to the second level, the stair’s landing is accented by a dramatic vertical picture window, beautifully framing one of the many mature oak trees which surround the property.

Architect: Studio MM
