Next was the concept of an \u201cupside-down\u201d house, placing principal living spaces on the second level to maximize light and views. Finally, any references to Miami\u2019s Art Deco lineage had to be interpreted through a contemporary lens. \u201cThe goal was not nostalgia, but continuity,\u201d Strang says.
