Healy Guest House, Experimental guest cottage in Siesta Key, Florida, US.
The Healy Guest House features glass walls, wooden jalousie blinds, and a curved roof extending across its 48 square meter floor plan.
Paul Rudolph and Ralph Twitchell designed this residence between 1948 and 1949, incorporating naval technology from World War II into residential architecture.
The American Institute of Architects recognized the Healy Guest House as the Best House Design of 1949, establishing new standards for modern Florida architecture.
The wooden jalousie blinds on the longitudinal walls allow residents to adjust natural light and ventilation while maintaining privacy throughout the day.
The structure contains a suspended catenary roof system using steel straps and vinyl-coated insulation boards, initially developed for military ship protection.
