Monad Terrace is Unique…

Remarkable Design by Pritzker-Prize-Winning Ateliers Jean Nouvel

When someone first told me about Monad Terrace, my first reaction was that it was just another new condo building in Miami Beach. But, it is NOT…not at all. This development is special. Not only is it designed by Pritzker-Prize-winning Ateliers Jean Nouvel, but it is his only residential project in Florida, and this is important because he is very meticulous about what projects he takes on.

By collaborating with JDS Development Group, Nouvel was allowed to freely see his true ingenious vision through for this project. Most developers do not allow architects to have free rein with their design, thereby affecting the overall product; however, because Jean Nouvel could fully design this project with little to no pushback, he created a truly unique special development specifically for the area surrounded by Biscayne Bay. “A building must have the vision of its city,” said Jean Nouvel. “In Miami, you have the blue horizon which is beautiful, and you have the downtown skyline across the water which is beautiful. In South Beach, you have nature, composed by architecture.”

Nouvel meticulously designed Monad Terrace to embrace the tropical weather and water views that so entice people to live in South Florida. Specifically, Nouvel artfully directs the play of daylight and water throughout the project. “Of course, it’s all about the water. And all the design work is to create a vision framing the lagoon and the bay. And the reason is because there is so much to see, from the lagoon to the bay, to boats at the dock to the skyline of downtown and the sunset and the fantastic view across the water.” Nouvel successfully achieved this by strategically placing high-tech honeycomb screens on the exteriors of the residences to precisely calibrate views and seclusion. Further, the placement of reflecting pools on select residence terraces bounce dappled light deep into living spaces, while the signature water garden—the central lagoon, reflection pools and adjacent swimming pool—draws the feeling of sparkling Biscayne Bay into the heart of the property. Light and water, glass and steel, gardens and façades all combine into what Nouvel has dubbed “the reflection machine”. Pure genius.

Coconut Grove Vibe in South Beach

Anyone who knows me, knows that I absolutely love Coconut Grove (I am a resident), commonly referred to as “The Grove.” The Grove is a bayfront, boating community that has a laid-back, Bohemian-style feel amid an abundance of parks, organic lush foliage, historic tree canopies and an assortment of marinas, while also offering an eclectic variety of shopping, restaurants, art galleries and entertainment. Coconut Grove just has an overall different feel than Miami Beach…usually…Monad Terrace has a Grove vibe, which makes it truly unique. Although Monad Terrace is situated in the heart of vibrant South Beach, the architectural intelligence by Jean Nouvel allowed this boutique development to really embrace the natural beauty of South Florida. From the placement of native plants throughout, the utilization of the honeycomb screens to reflect the water and the natural light, the overall design of the building exudes a sense of calmness and relaxation, while maintaining a rich luxurious feel.
