ARKHITEKTAN is an Atlanta-based architecture practice led by architect Hadi Mansouri, who holds professional architectural licensure in Florida. Bringing more than 40 years of architectural practice to every commission, our studio provides customized residential and commercial architectural design, major renovations, and spatial planning for projects throughout the state.
Calibrating Architecture for Florida Light, Heat, and Porosity
Designing architecture in Florida requires an uncompromising response to intense solar radiation, high atmospheric moisture, and persistent humidity. The visual and thermal environment is defined by relentless vertical sunlight, requiring facades to be carefully sculpted with deep porticos, recessed apertures, and horizontal planes that generate cooling shadows throughout the diurnal cycle.
The relationship between conditioned interiors and open-air spaces is central to Florida living. Our designs balance expansive visual connections to the surrounding landscape with rigorous thermal barriers. By integrating screened courts, covered loggias, and high-performance insulated glazing systems, we create residences and commercial venues that remain thermally stable without isolating occupants from natural breezes and coastal light.
Material durability is equally critical. In Florida’s humid and saline atmospheres, construction assemblies must resist moisture intrusion, vapor migration, and premature degradation. We specify materials with proven resilience—including concrete masonry, engineered timber, non-corrosive fasteners, and breathable mineral plasters—ensuring enduring aesthetic and structural clarity.
