Set against the backdrop of Miami, a generous single-story residence combines two condominiums within an existing residential tower to survey both sea and sky. To offset the ample daylight flooding in from the East and West, a dark central volume clad in African Limba offers respite for the eyes. The core is flanked by pale, hand-troweled plaster and concrete surfaces that subtly bounces ambient light deep into the interior.

The plaster and stone clad walls, together with the neutral furnishings throughout evoke the sandy beaches underfoot. The accents of brass and bronze reflect the warm coastal sunlight, while woven textiles, baskets, and floor coverings evoke the banyan trees and mangroves threaded through the coastal landscape.
