Board approves two‑story house at 6511 SW 59th Court after design review
Summary
The board approved DRB2025‑006 for a two‑story house designed by Javier Cuevas for Sergio Rodriguez, praising the massing and asking for modest landscape and covered‑terrace refinements.
The Design Review Board approved DRB2025‑006, a two‑story single‑family house at 6511 SW 59th Court submitted by owner Sergio Rodriguez and presented by architect Javier Cuevas.
Staff summarized compliance with dimensional requirements and introduced the project’s material palette (stucco painted approximately Sherwin‑Williams Alabaster 7008, wood‑tone accents), a 24‑foot‑3‑inch height that meets the code limit, and landscape provisions. Architect Javier Cuevas explained massing choices and said the design intentionally set the second story back 10 feet to reduce perceived mass and respect neighborhood context.
Board members complimented the design. Vice Chair Vienna recommended the applicant consider adding a covered terrace or reducing the oversized kitchen to create more exterior covered living space typical for South Florida; several members also asked for clear landscape detail and for the applicant to confirm pool setback and plumbing coordination. After discussion the board voted to approve with staff and board comments.
