A Contemporary Family Sanctuary Designed for Connection
Nestled within the prestigious enclave of Golden Beach, Florida, Wol Residence is a striking modern retreat designed by SDH Studio Architecture + Design. Created for a family that treasures togetherness and elegant entertaining, the home celebrates openness, fluidity, and the serene integration of nature into everyday life.
Built on an expansive internal lot, the architecture is carefully composed to frame each living space around a lush landscape anchored by an infinity lap pool. “We were inspired by the family’s desire for connection—both with each other and with nature,” said architect Stephanie Halfen, founder of SDH Studio, in an exclusive interview with Luxury Houses Magazine. “The goal was to create an environment where entertaining feels effortless and serene.”
Design that Embraces Views and Light
The residence is laid out to ensure that every living space enjoys intimate views of the landscaped outdoors. Floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundary between inside and out, inviting natural light and lush green scenes into the interior. From the main living area to the bedrooms and corridors, the home is carefully oriented to maximize exposure to the garden and pool.

The architectural language speaks in crisp lines, cantilevered planes, and warm materials—wood, stone, glass, and concrete are expertly balanced. The signature infinity lap pool serves not just as a leisure feature, but as a visual centerpiece that reflects sunlight and ripples throughout the space. “Water is not just part of the garden; it’s part of the architecture,” noted Halfen. “We wanted every view from the interior to lead your eye toward the pool, creating a continuous relationship with nature.”
A Social Heart Anchored in Modern Elegance
At the heart of Wol Residence is a generous open-plan social area designed for effortless entertaining. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces are interconnected under soaring ceilings, with clean minimalist detailing and warm finishes. Sliding glass panels retract to open the entire area to the outdoor patio, allowing the home to transform from an intimate family refuge to a vibrant social hub.

“The owners entertain frequently, and they asked for a layout that could flow seamlessly between indoor and outdoor gatherings,” Halfen told Luxury Houses Magazine. “The patio becomes an extension of the great room, perfect for evening parties or relaxed weekend barbecues.” A built-in outdoor kitchen, covered terrace, and ambient lighting further enhance the outdoor experience.
Privacy Meets Harmony in the Bedroom Wings
While the social core of the home is open and dynamic, the private zones are designed with tranquility in mind. The bedroom wings are gently separated from the main living areas, offering peace and privacy without feeling isolated. Every bedroom enjoys views of the garden or pool, ensuring that even the most intimate corners of the home remain visually connected to the landscape.

The master suite in particular is a sanctuary of calm, with full-height glass doors that open to a private garden terrace. A spa-like en suite bathroom and expansive walk-in closet complete the retreat-like feel. “For us, architecture is about elevating daily life,” said Halfen. “In this home, even the bedrooms offer a quiet sense of luxury.”

Rooted in Nature, Defined by Light
In line with the studio’s signature approach, natural light is a defining element of the project. Skylights and clerestory windows are thoughtfully placed to allow light to move throughout the home at different times of the day. Shadow and light dance across textured walls, adding depth and life to the interiors.
The landscaping is equally refined—native plantings soften the modern edges of the architecture while enhancing the connection between indoors and out. “The residence isn’t trying to overpower the lot—it’s working in harmony with it,” added Halfen. “That’s something we always strive for.”
A Standout Home in the Golden Beach Community
Golden Beach, a private oceanfront town known for its exclusivity and family-oriented lifestyle, offers residents privacy, security, and a tight-knit community. Just minutes from Bal Harbour Shops and Aventura Mall, and within easy reach of top schools and dining, the location balances seclusion with access.
