This exceptional project, nestled in the heart of Miami Beach, represents a striking fusion of architectural innovation and luxurious living. Miami Beach, known for its upscale residences and a wide variety of architectural styles, is home to many distinguished homes. However, this property stands apart as a premier example of contemporary design. Drawing inspiration from Le Corbusier’s influential Domino House, the residence has been meticulously adapted to suit the subtropical environment while maintaining a modern, sleek aesthetic.
Spanning a remarkable 15,000 square feet, this waterfront estate is the largest and most intricate within its collection. Its bold geometric design, coupled with a dynamic color palette, ensures that it is a landmark along Miami Beach’s bayfront. The home exemplifies a perfect balance between artistic ambition and practical functionality, resulting in a residence that is visually striking yet highly livable.
The residence’s southwest orientation was a deliberate design choice, maximizing the property’s breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami. This strategic positioning not only frames sweeping vistas but also strengthens the home’s connection to its natural surroundings. One of the standout features of the estate is the circular drop-off area, which leads visitors to a grand two-story entryway. Here, a modern waterfall accentuates the space, adding an element of serene elegance.
Upon entering, guests are greeted by floor-to-ceiling aluminum-glass windows that provide unobstructed, panoramic views of the Miami skyline, the bay, and the lush, resort-style pool area. These expansive windows invite natural light into the interior, creating a bright and airy atmosphere while enhancing the visual connection between the inside and outside.
The main residence is a showcase of sophisticated design, featuring a double-height living room and foyer that set the tone for the luxurious interior spaces. The home is carefully laid out to offer both grandeur and intimacy. With five generously sized bedroom suites, it provides ample space for family members and guests. The chef’s kitchen is designed with the needs of a discerning cook in mind, offering the latest in culinary technology and innovation. In addition, the home features an entertainment room, a home office, and a home theater, all of which offer practical spaces for leisure and work. The three-car garage ensures convenience and functionality for residents and guests.
Beyond the main house, the estate includes a state-of-the-art gym, a guest house, and staff quarters, offering the ultimate in luxury and convenience. The unique orientation of the property provides dual waterfront perspectives, contributing to the expansive front yard, which evokes the feeling of a private jungle retreat. This lush landscaping enhances the natural beauty of the estate, providing a tranquil oasis in the heart of Miami Beach.
The architectural integrity of the residence is reinforced by its two-story structure, reinforced concrete facade, Hyaluminum-glass windows, and sophisticated glass railings. These elements not only ensure the home’s durability but also contribute to its sleek and modern appearance. The main house itself spans 8,862 square feet, seamlessly integrating with the broader estate design and maintaining the highest standards of quality and elegance.
Ultimately, this Miami Beach residence is more than just a home—it is a testament to contemporary architectural excellence. The thoughtful design, strategic orientation, and luxurious amenities work together to create an extraordinary living experience. This property represents the epitome of modern living, perfectly balanced with its stunning natural surroundings
