The Miami Condo Project That’s Not A Sky-High Tower

Blueprint

GLASSHAUS

Sleek Bauhaus minimalism heads to Miami in Coconut Grove’s latest boutique condo project, Glasshaus. Due for completion later this year, the development offers a counterpoint to the area’s sky-high towers, emerging from a lush woodland with a five-story jewel-box facade of glass-encased, cantilevered tiers.The streamlined design, created by international firm Varabyeu Partners, continues in the lobby with a materials palette of textured stone, wood, steel and panoramic glass. Envisioned as an intimate sanctuary, the 23 residences feature floor-to-ceiling windows, fine Italkraft cabinetry and natural stone countertops. Special care was taken with alfresco areas, where a Zen garden and rooftop pool deck soften the hard edges.
