The Umbrella House

In 1953, developer Philip Hiss commissioned Paul Rudolph to design a spec home as a physical advertisement for his new development, Lido Shores. The dominant feature of the house is the “umbrella”, giving the house its colloquial name. The shade structure is an expansive awning designed to modulate the intense Florida sun and unite the pool and home complex under one cohesive structural gesture. The original umbrella, lost during a storm in the 1960s, was carefully restored in 2015, receiving multiple awards for preservation and rehabilitation from the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation and the AIA.
