Located on Brickell Avenue in the heart of Miami, Colette reframes the city’s notion of luxury as an intimate boutique building of just 38 residences.
The nearly square geometry of the site guided the decision to split the main volume into two blocks, increasing setbacks and multiplying façades. Between them, a central courtyard organizes the main access and internal flows.
From this courtyard, circulation unfolds in layers: from the multiple-height entrance to the double-height lobby, through human-scale galleries that connect to the shared spaces on the ground floor and rooftop. This sequence creates the experience of a covered plaza, where the boundaries between interior and exterior, built and landscaped, open and enclosed, become fluid.
