Historic Mizner homes, modernized with a careful hand
Old Floresta is one of Boca Raton’s most beloved historic neighborhoods — developed in the 1920s by Addison Mizner himself, with Mediterranean Revival homes on lushly canopied streets. Renovating here is a specialized craft: bringing systems, kitchens, and baths into today while preserving the barrel-tile roofs, arched openings, and character that make these homes irreplaceable.
Preserve the character, modernize the living
We update kitchens, baths, and systems and open living where it makes sense — while protecting the Mediterranean Revival details, proportions, and materials that define a Mizner-era home.
Historic-sensitive systems work
Older homes carry original wiring, plumbing, and structure. We modernize them carefully, with methods appropriate to a historic home, so it lives like new without losing its soul.
Respecting a historic neighborhood
Exterior work in a historic district calls for a light, correct hand — matching materials, roofline, and detail so the home and the street keep their character.
