The project draws inspiration from the expansive ocean, the coastal greens, the horizon and Renzo Piano’s exquisite curvilinear building. The spaces are an homage to the delicate play of light and shadow created by the building with its continuous balconies and overhangs where the outdoor space is two-thirds the square footage of the indoor space. Given the intensity of the sun, the overhead projections function more than mere balconies; they act as a brise-soleil that protects the space from the sunrise in the east to the sunset in the west. The interior partitions are intentionally kept off the free-flowing curtain wall so the expanse and continuity of the outdoor spaces can be experienced without interruption.

To contextualize the indoor and outdoor spaces, we conceived a vibrant bioluminescent palette that expresses the joyous colors, textures, and patterns of its surrounding conditions. The uniqueness of Miami Beach and its tropical sensibility is expressed through this palette that alludes to the trees, the fish, and the reflection of light on water. The ocean side is treated with a palette of a blue matte responding to the ocean exposure. The intercoastal-facing deck chairs reflect the gardens and distant views of the sun setting in downtown Miami.
