Himmarshee House rises along the New River like a minimalist sculpture in motion—13,568 square feet of precision-crafted modernism. More than a home, it’s a performance of light, water, and form. The main residence flows seamlessly into a guest house, tied together by 120 feet of infinity-edge pool walls that shimmer like liquid glass, echoing the river beyond.
This is architecture with both bravado and restraint: a rotating car platform anchors the motor court like a kinetic artwork, while a concealed gun closet nods to the interplay between security and discretion. Inside, soaring double-height volumes and razor-edged surfaces cast a cinematic mood on this masterclass in Florida Modernism.
