Normandy Island S.Shore I: Dialogue Between Modernity and Serenity

 

Architecture of Light and Horizon Situated within the private and secure enclave of Normandy Island, this newly constructed residence offers a refined expression of contemporary waterfront living. Defined by pure lines, generous overhangs, and strong horizontality, the architecture plays with contrasts, white facades, textured concrete, and warm natural wood, creating a bold yet harmonious composition.

 

A Sculptural Entry Sequence The entrance is designed as a spatial experience. A linear driveway leads to a minimalist portico punctuated by vertical louvers and a large geometric skylight. This carefully crafted choreography of light and shadow invites residents and guests into a luminous, double-height foyer where architecture and landscape begin to intertwine.

 

Interior Layout and Materiality With over 5,400 SFof living space, the home is arranged around a fluid and open plan. Expansive volumes include formal and informal living areas, a dining room, and a kitchen with a large central island, all seamlessly connected to the outdoors. The interior palette combines matte finishes, wide oak flooring, and stone elements to create a calm, modern atmosphere.

 

Vertical Transparency and Light An architectural staircase made of floating wood treads and glass railings rises beneath the skylight, leading to a mezzanine office and the upper-level bedrooms. Natural light flows generously through this vertical axis, enhancing spatial continuity and openness.

​

Private Waterfront Suite The primary suite opens directly onto the water, offering sweeping views of the canal and lush vegetation. It features a custom walk-in closet and a serene bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub, large walk-in shower, and refined finishes in oak and stone.

 

Outdoor Living and Connection to Nature The design fully embraces outdoor living. A mosaictiled pool, shaded lounge areas, and a waterfront dining terrace are all nestled within tropical landscaping. A 60-footprivate dock completes the experience, offering direct access to the bay and a lifestyle rooted in nature and tranquility.

 

A Contemporary Vision of Waterfront Elegance This Normandy Island residence reflects a thoughtful approach to architecture, where clarity of form, material integrity, and spatial openness come together to offer an elevated coastal lifestyle in one of Miami Beach’s most desirable neighborhoods.
