Located on Bayou Louise Lane on Siesta Key, Cocoon
House is a two-bedroom, one-bath, 760-square-foot
cottage built as a guesthouse for Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Healy.
The house gets its name from the technology used to build
its roof: a polymer spray that Paul Rudolph saw being used
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on warships returning after WWII
in order to "cocoon" or moth-ball them. Rudolph's creativity
made him realize that this material could also be used in
the construction industry. The Cocoon House was named
“Best House Design of the Year” from the AIA in 1949;
selected by MoMA New York in 1953 as one of 19
examples of houses built since WWII that were "pioneers of
design;” and locally designated as a historic property by
the City of Sarasota in 1985.
Sarasota Architectural Foundation (SAF) educates, advocates, and celebrates on behalf of the Sarasota School of Architecture’s
significant contributions to mid-century American architecture. For more information, visit saf-srq.org
Special thanks to Bryan Soderlind.
