Luxury Properties in Miami Beach
Studio MK27 has completed a luxurious Miami Beach residence, featuring a private lagoon where residents can swim with fish, and a bridge walkway that snakes over the top.
Measuring 100 feet long (30 metres) and 30 feet wide (nine metres), the manmade lagoon is organically filtered and surrounded by vegetation to provide an “authentically manicured” natural environment for the Florida home. This stunning feature enhances the appeal of Luxury Properties, offering a serene and exclusive retreat within the residence.
A patio runs alongside the water, featuring a fire pit and benches carved out of tree trunks, adding to the home’s refined yet natural aesthetic. This seamless blend of luxury and nature makes the property a prime example of high-end living in Miami.
Studio MK27 architects Marcio Kogan and Lair Reis designed the residence for a site on Pine Tree Drive, the strip that fronts Indian Creek. Like other Luxury Properties on this stretch, the building is positioned to the rear of the site to maximize views of the creek, offering residents an unparalleled waterfront living experience.
It is accessed by the 200-foot-long (60 meters) wavy path, which ramps up from the road. Concrete stilts elevate the path above the water, while slats of teak form the balustrade. The two materials also feature throughout the property’s interior, enhancing its sophisticated aesthetic.
The walkway provides access to the upper level of the residence, where the main living space is located. This thoughtful design, a hallmark of Luxury Properties, seamlessly blends architectural elegance with natural surroundings, offering a refined yet serene living experience.
A wall of sliding glass doors opens this space up to the terrace, which is bookended by wooden walls and fronted by a glass balustrade. From here, residents can enjoy breathtaking views of Collins Avenue, as well as the iconic Eden Rock and Fontainebleau hotels.
The space also overlooks the rear garden, which boasts a linear saltwater-heated swimming pool—an essential feature of Luxury Properties that elevates comfort and exclusivity.
Part of the floor below is occupied by a generous patio, featuring a sunken lounge area covered by an exposed concrete ceiling.
Wooden doors on one side slide open to seamlessly connect the space with a kitchen, while the doors on the other side reveal windows to the master bedroom, complete with an en-suite bathroom and a dressing room. This thoughtfully designed layout enhances the appeal of Luxury Properties, allowing residents to enjoy serene poolside views right from their bed, blending elegance with comfort.
A television room and four bedrooms occupy a second wing, which runs alongside the lagoon. Each room features sliding glass doors that open onto the patio area, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living. This thoughtful architectural design enhances the allure of Luxury Properties, providing breathtaking water views and a tranquil ambiance that defines sophisticated living.
A green roof tops this volume, seamlessly blending the residence with its natural surroundings, while a decked patio crowns the main house. Covered with a sleek white canopy, this elevated retreat provides the perfect spot for sunbathing and relaxation. These luxurious design elements further emphasize the exclusivity and elegance of Luxury Properties, offering a harmonious balance between modern architecture and serene outdoor living.
Currently on the market for $29,750,000 (approximately £23 million), this exquisite residence exemplifies Luxury Properties at their finest. Beyond its elegant living spaces, the home offers a third volume designed for versatility—featuring a half-sized basketball court, a grand entertaining hall perfect for hosting lavish parties or art exhibitions.
Additionally, a private dock area accommodates a 90-foot-long (27-meter) yacht, catering to those who appreciate waterfront luxury and seamless access to the serene waters of Indian Creek.
Studio MK27 designed the residence for Brodson Construction, while the interiors were completed by Jader Almeida and Artefacto.
Architect Marcio Kogan worked as a movie director before he founded Studio MK27, which ranked at number 95 on the inaugural Dezeen Hot List.
Other recent projects by the studio include a residence with a rooftop pool offering views of a Brazilian rainforest and a luxurious apartment in São Paulo featuring giant shelving units.
