Calais drive Apartments

Miami Beach, FL

Calais Drive Apartments reimagines the expressive modernism of the 1960s, when geometric rigor, sculptural experimentation, and ornament challenged the boundaries between architecture and art.

The design transforms the repetitive order of residential architecture into a dynamic composition of interlocking forms, shifting planes, and rhythmic geometries. Contrasting elements of discipline and playfulness create a unified sculptural identity, recalling the optimism and architectural experimentation of Miami Beach's mid-century heritage.

Elevated above the ground plane in response to coastal flooding, the building transforms an environmental constraint into a defining architectural gesture. The result is an exploration of architecture as inhabitable sculpture—where structure, geometry, and expression converge.
