Beach House 8, located on 36th and Collins in Miami Beach, consists of a series of shifted frames, expressing a series of eight homes in a very pure and abstract way…the dynamic movement of Miami, all the energy of the ocean waves.” In shared outdoor and lobby areas, elements from wood-panelled drawing rooms to decking finished in Mauritian Teak, from natural-fiber banquettes to dark-blue mosaic tiling in the pool, from the garden waterfall to the airy 14-foot ceilings at the entry—combined with a full suite of concierge services appropriate for cosmopolitan living—all create an atmosphere of both understated elegance and contemporary informality. Just right for where the city meets the beach.
