bluarch + Architecture

This blog is an expression of the interconnectivity between what is built in the world and what exists in the world. It will explore deep-seeded intersections between structure and the minute, architecture and the overlooked.

bluarch architecture + interiors + lighting is a full service practice dedicated to design innovation and technical excellence in the fields of architecture, interior design, and lighting. At bluarch, architecture is a formal and logical endeavor that offers shelter to layered human needs.

The project was the first non-speculative house to be certified "Green" by the Florida Green Building Coalition.
