STILLWATER II

The proposed residence is a contemporary two-story home spanning approximately 4,000 square feet, featuring an understory level that enhances its connection to the surrounding environment. The design embraces modern aesthetics with clean lines, a warm material palette, and a seamless integration of nature, resulting in an inviting structure that responds to its tropical setting. The project prioritizes openness, fluidity, and a strong indoor-outdoor relationship, creating a home that is both visually striking and functionally harmonious.

The front façade showcases a dynamic composition of rectangular volumes, deliberately offset to break traditional massing and create the illusion of floating forms. This interplay enhances the sense of lightness while maintaining a bold architectural presence. The understory level serves as a transitional space, offering versatility and openness, while the main circulation core is centrally located, connecting the home’s various levels. The rear of the residence is designed to maximize water views, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors that flood the interior with natural light. A sculptural grand staircase links the pool deck with an elevated terrace, reinforcing the home’s vertical and horizontal connectivity.

Material selection plays a key role in the home’s warmth and depth, with wood composite louvers and soffits adding texture and contrast to the expansive glass openings. The South-East corner features decorative beams and columns, framing views of the sky while reinforcing the home’s structural elegance. The design fully complies with the City of Miami Beach Resiliency Code, meeting all setback, lot coverage, and open space requirements while embracing a forward-thinking architectural approach that blends sustainability with timeless contemporary design.
