A distinct identity on Miami’s waterfront.

Our facade competition proposal for DOMUS Bayfront brings together bold geometry, warm bronze tones and tropical greenery in a composition shaped by its relationship with Biscayne Bay.

Angled balconies and a slender vertical fin give the tower its signature expression. At street level, textured screens and planted terraces create a welcoming urban edge. Above, an open rooftop crown frames the sky and the waterfront views.

From daylight to evening, materials, depth and light reveal different layers of the architecture.

How can a tower embrace outdoor living?

Our competition proposal for DOMUS in Miami explores this question. Gardens and terraces at different heights break the tower into distinct volumes, making planting an integral part of its architecture.

The façade pairs the rhythm of balconies with bold vertical elements in warm tones. Together, they establish two scales: the tower’s presence on the skyline and the more intimate experience of each guest room.

At the entrance, tall columns, a generous stairway, and glazing create a sense of arrival that feels visually connected to the surroundings. At the top, a pool and shared terrace make the building’s crown an active part of the hotel experience.

The proposal brings an essential quality of Miami into a vertical setting: the close relationship between living spaces, greenery, and water.

The project explores the transition between public and private realms. A rhythmic facade sets the tone at street level, while the architectural narrative ascends to a rooftop designed as an urban sanctuary.

From the structural expression of the tower to the infinity pool overlooking the Miami skyline, every element is a study in modern hospitality.
