"Studio KHORA brings a renewed modern American voice to architecture—poetic, rigorous, and deeply aware of our shifting climate. Through contemporary houses that challenge convention and elevate everyday life, the studio crafts structures that feel both inevitable and surprising. Their approach expands the possibilities of coastal living while reimagining how design can define the identity of a place."
Studio KHORA reshapes contemporary American architecture with coastal innovation, sustainability, and incisive modern design rooted in Florida’s evolving landscape.

There is a particular clarity that emerges when a design studio commits to reshaping the architectural language of a region. Studio KHORA—now drawing growing attention among top Orlando architects—has built its reputation on contemporary houses that resist the predictable in favor of the emotionally resonant. Each project begins with a question: What kind of space can genuinely move people? The answer requires more than aesthetics. It involves unmaking assumptions, reconstructing meaning, and creating homes that stand not merely as dwellings but as cultural statements. Sustainability, too, becomes not an accessory but a responsibility, essential to any future Americans envision for themselves.

In Sarasota, where Studio KHORA is increasingly sought after among clients searching for top Sarasota architects, this ethos takes form in structures that acknowledge the past while refusing to be limited by it. The studio challenges the long-imported legacy of European classicism that once defined Florida’s luxury market—architectures transplanted without regard for humidity, heat, hurricanes, or rising seas. Instead, their work imagines a future grounded in place: materials engineered for salt air, forms calibrated for light and shadow, and spaces designed with contemporary technologies that respond to climate reality rather than historical romanticism.

Such clarity of purpose is one reason that Studio KHORA is increasingly grouped with the best Florida architects. For eleven consecutive years, they have been named by Ocean Home magazine as one of the Top 50 Coastal Architects in the United States—an honor that underscores both consistency and evolution. Their recognition among the Top 100 Luxury Architects globally by Luxury Lifestyle Awards further cements the studio’s leadership in a field where innovation must meet rigor.

Their portfolio carries echoes of the conceptual clarity seen in the writings surrounding Peter Eisenman’s theoretical explorations and the tactile precision that defines Herzog & de Meuron’s material investigations, yet Studio KHORA’s voice remains distinctly its own. Consider the AIA-awarded residence at 2633 Spanish River Road in Boca Raton—The I House. Positioned along the Intracoastal Waterway, the home leverages contrast in a way that feels almost cinematic. Classical symmetry is reinterpreted, not as ornament, but as foil—an intentional counterpoint that heightens the purity and restraint of the contemporary form. The tension between these two languages generates a visual rhythm that guides the experience of the house, inside and out.

Studio KHORA’s architectural vocabulary is globally conversant. One can sense affinities with the sculptural minimalism of Tadao Ando, the atmospheric subtleties of Álvaro Siza, or the rigorous geometries of David Adjaye. But these comparisons serve only to locate the studio within a broader international discourse. Their work ultimately expresses an American narrative—forward-looking, questioning, shaped by technology, and deeply tied to the landscapes of Florida’s coasts. In an era when architecture must speak to resilience as much as beauty, Studio KHORA offers an approach that transforms structural necessity into poetic possibility.
