Sofi HouseMiami, USA

SoFi House is a mid-size residential project in the prestigious South of Fifth neighborhood, Miami Beach. It features four beach houses distributed along a lot fronting Washington Avenue. The Historic Preservation Board approved the project as it included the complete renovation and relocation of one of the last remaining wood cottages in the city. Each house, of approximately 2,600 sf, has living and dining areas, a kitchen, a pantry, three bedrooms, three or four bathrooms, two parking spaces, a roof-top garden, and terraces with individual pools. The design skillfully sets back from the street the four-story building massing to minimize its visual impact and carve a space for the cottage, which is adjoined to one of the units. While the south façade has strategically placed windows, the north side is defined by sliding glass walls from floor to ceiling and long balconies to take advantage of the indirect natural light. Natural materials such as white oak wood floors, stone countertops, and tropical landscapes further accentuate an environment prioritizing comfort and luxury in each unit.
