Sunset All Day

For design-driven Miami Beach luxury residences by acclaimed Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel, we made a virtue of necessity and a necessity of virtue. Fronting the West-side Intracoastal Waterway rather than the conventional Ocean-side beach, we positioned the project as an anchor of an emerging, walkable, and desirable neighborhood called South Beach Bay, whose beaches are evening destinations under Miami's sunset skies. As the project design was refined, we encouraged a landscape architecture that, by conceptually pulling an inlet of the bay into the heart of the property, had the virtue of giving every residence the feeling of waterfront property—making, in Nouvel’s words, “every residence is the best.” The inlet, actually a landscaped wetland with swimming pool fronting the Waterway, enhances the curated unidirectional views framed by Nouvel’s faceted and fin-detailed architecture.
