Casa del Mar

Miami, FL

A waterfront villa defined by sweeping horizontal lines, floor-to-ceiling glass, and an infinity pool that dissolves into Biscayne Bay. The open floor plan connects living, dining, and outdoor entertaining as one continuous sequence.

Casa del Mar — Villa in Miami, FL

Casa del Mar was conceived as a single, unbroken gesture — a horizontal plane hovering above the water's edge. The client's brief was unambiguous: a home where inside and outside cease to exist as separate ideas.

We responded with a radically transparent plan. A continuous glass facade wraps the entire south elevation, dissolving the boundary between the living areas and Biscayne Bay. A 25-meter cantilevered roof overhang provides shade without walls, and the infinity pool's vanishing edge completes the illusion of living on the water itself.

The material language is restrained but rich — poured concrete, warm travertine, and blackened bronze hardware. Every surface was selected to age gracefully under the Miami sun, developing a patina that deepens the home's connection to its coastal environment.
