The Ciulla's purchased Paul Rudolph’s Umbrella House in Sarasota, Florida in 2004.
They are restoring it while they have the unusual pleasure of living in this true work of art, created in 1953.

The Umbrella House is owned by Museum Planners and Exhibit Designers Vincent and Julie Ciulla. They have completed the restoration of the interior, and have now turned their attention to the exterior, and the Umbrella itself.

The Ciullas are committed to maximizing the educational value of the Umbrella House. Groups from the Government of Treviso, Italy; The Society for Architectural Historians; the Museum of Modern Art (NY); and from Ringling College’s International Design Conference have toured the house. We have partnered with the New Jersey Institute of Technology’s architecture school on student projects which are based on the Umbrella House, worked with Metropolis Magazine on two film projects, and with Oxford American Magazine.
