St. Regis Residence

Located in Bal Harbour, the St. Regis Residence has sweeping views that comprise the surrounding urban and natural landscape. The floating Islands of Biscayne Bay punctuate this vista in the foreground while the skyline of downtown Miami is at the southern horizon. The apartment’s primary feature, a custom accordion wall, both captures and abstracts this view, creating a blurred boundary between interior and exterior space. Entering the residence, one reads the wall’s subtle grey texture of Venetian plaster. Alternately viewed from the living room, vertical panels of ribbed glass inserted into this same wall reflect and amplify the light and space with views of the bay and sky. Folding into the adjacent hallway, the wall’s saw-tooth pattern continues to a powder room where a series of vertical lights as well as a mirrored wall combine to create a repeating visual effect that is dynamic and unexpected.
