This private penthouse residence in South Beach, Miami was designed to maximize the dramatic panoramic views of the ocean and Miami skyline. The 9,500 sf property was organized so that core elements such as the kitchen, bathrooms and closets were located in internal locations, while the living spaces and bedrooms were arranged around the perimeter of the building, allowing an uninterrupted exterior glass curtain wall. Elegant Asian influences and a varied palette of rich interior finishes compose a series of spaces that open to 3,000 square feet of terraces and balconies. On the main terrace, the composition of the water elements, fabric canopy, landscaping, paving materials and seating areas were designed to create a relaxed intimate tropical garden atmosphere.
