Set on a canal-front site on Miami’s Sunset Island, Sunset is shaped by the opportunities and challenges of its coastal setting. Elevated above the water in response to rising sea levels and storm surge risk, the home balances protection and privacy with expansive views across the bay and towards the Miami skyline. A carefully articulated form lifts and pivots toward the water, orienting living spaces to maximise outlook and connection to the landscape.
The architecture explores the relationship between resilience and openness, using spatial sequence, elevation, and orientation to create a home that is both environmentally responsive and deeply connected to its waterfront context.
