Venetian Drive

Poised on the edge of Biscayne Bay, this exceptional custom residence is a study in contemporary elegance. The 18,500-square-foot home is composed of two interlocking volumes that appear to float above their verdant coastal setting, creating a striking and unique silhouette.

The design is defined by its transparency, with a full-height glass façade that dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior, framing sweeping views of the bay. A refined palette of limestone, travertine, and sustainably-sourced timbers gives the home a warm, tactile richness, while elevated structural slabs provide deep overhangs that protect the interiors from the intense Florida sun.

At the center, a sculptural staircase and pebble-lined reflecting pool accentuate the indoor-outdoor connection. Indoor living spaces extend directly onto generous terraces, a tiered infinity-edge pool, and formal lawns that seemingly hover just above the shoreline. The upper storey features a sequence of private suites that open to shaded balconies, where elegant vertical fins provide both privacy and sun control.

Every element—from the precise millwork to the concealed building systems—contributes to a unified, seamless aesthetic that highlights the elegance and intentionality of its waterfront design.
