The elemental and poetic expression of programmatic systems liberates this mid-rise multifamily residential structure from its typological expectations. Reacting to both functional and emotional stimuli, the project’s form emerged from an auto-evolutionary process—defining itself through simplification and efficiency.

Two distinct volumes, separated by a dramatic fissure convey the main programmatic components of the project—parking and residential space. Sculptural elements-- expressing all modes of movement both horizontal, vertical, diagonal, pedestrian and vehicular, complete the composition— dynamically contrasting the rigidity main forms. The parking mass, articulated by various textures of screen, distorts views of the interior while maintaining a light and airy parking experience within. Parking ramps—pure expressions of function, penetrate and weave up to the gap— allowing for the building lobby to be formed from residual space at the ground floor. Extruded and distorted, the mass enclosing the elevators and main egress stair, snakes up the building—reaching towards the sky. An undulating metallic mesh-- elliptical in shape, encapsulates the secondary egress stair which appears to dissolve at both top and bottom.

Comprising 54 units, the residential module, is expressed as a pure rectilinear volume, incorporating various articulations of skin. On the east face, an aluminum screen distorts the perception of scale—cloaking the exterior passages with a simultaneously translucent, opaque and reflective membrane. On the north and south—horizontal slots, correlating with strategic interior sightlines create a vibrant pattern of solid and void within a stucco field. Fronting the bay, the eastern façade employs multiple skins that sheath the entire volume-- allowing for distinct filtration of light permeation and pattern. Retractable, low-energy emission glazing captures light and reflects heat. Solar shades and diaphanous curtains abstract and filter light and view. The dynamic nature of this façade permits multiple readings of the building—reacting to every occupant’s whim, from maximum openness to complete privacy.

Space: The limitless area in which all things exist and move.

The concept of an open architecture -- transferring responsibility of the buildings image to the end-user, allows for a complete interactive experience that is further reinforced in the openness of the individual units. The units of Space01 are comprised of 3 primary zones -- a super-sized flex space (larger than most two bedroom apartments), a private realm for changing and bathing, and a multipurpose room with bath and storage areas. Comprising approximately 12’ high ceilings, the openness of these units permit complete synthesis between interior and exterior. The boundaries of apartment and outdoors are blurred -- an experience further enhanced by the occupy able water feature within the unit. This free flow of space provides each owner complete flexibility of configuration and style. Broad open-air corridors permit double exposure to light and view, while maintaining privacy.

Light, sky, water, and vegetation become intangible materials within the apartment -- amplifying the total immersion of this idyllic island setting within your own environment.

Surrounded by water on all sides, North Bay Village, composed of three islands, Harbour Island, North Bay Island and Treasure Island are undergoing major economic transformation and expansion.

The intimate community setting, low density living and water views have been attracting new and exciting developments to the neighborhood. As of today, there are several new condo projects, restaurants and shopping facilities in various stages of development. Add to this the roadway beautification project proposed by the city planners, and you will see the changes unfolding before your eyes. With the infusion of private and public sector dollars, North Bay Village has been named the City of the Future.

One of North Bay Village’s newest developments is Space01; a stunning showcase of new architectural wonder. The building has already been nominated for the AIA Miami design award. Space01 boasts breathtaking 360 degrees views. All just minutes away from all the excitement of South Beach, Miami’s International business district, Downtown, Bal Harbor Shops, and Miami International Airport.
