Modern Twin Residences in Miami-Dade
Located in Miami-Dade on NE 151st Street, this pair of contemporary residences seamlessly blends bold architectural expression with functional design. Each home spans nearly 4,000 sq. ft. on a 9,000 sq. ft. (0.2-acre) lot, designed to maximize space while maintaining privacy and openness.
The architecture is characterized by a striking overhanging second floor, enclosed in floor-to-ceiling glazing, creating a sense of lightness and transparency. In contrast, the ground floor remains partially concealed, defined by an irregular colonnade clad in large, gray-toned ceramic tiles. This layered façade enhances both the visual depth and privacy of the interior spaces.
The ground floor is centered around a spacious 1,000 sq. ft. living area, seamlessly connected to a 450 sq. ft. open kitchen, which links the entrance, dining area, and backyard. A 150+ sq. ft. flexible space can serve as a guest suite, home gym, or hobby room. Additionally, a separate front entrance allows for a future partitioned office, offering flexibility without disrupting the main living space.
Upstairs, two children’s bedrooms (each over 150 sq. ft.) feature en-suite bathrooms and private balconies, integrated within the structured frames of the façade. The centerpiece is the primary suite, a spacious retreat with dual bathrooms and connected walk-in closets, designed for privacy and comfort.
The compact plot is optimized for outdoor living, featuring a covered patio, open-air swimming pool, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. The overhanging second floor not only defines the architectural identity but also creates a sheltered parking area at the front.
The material palette reinforces a modern, minimalist aesthetic, combining the raw elegance of concrete, the warmth of textured ceramic tile cladding, and the sleek transparency of glass, all balanced within a composition of clean lines and bold structural gestures.
