While many parts of both the US and the world are grappling with the effects of cold weather and snow, Miami is one of those beautiful exceptions where the beach parties can go on all night long, even during Christmas! Nestled in the beautiful Biscayne Bay, this lovely residence designed by Max Strang Architecture would be a perfect place to host one of these hip parties with its elegantly crafted 25-meter-long lap pool and an interior that extends into the backyard. Combining the classic charm of coastal design with clean, contemporary style, the lavish residence has a relaxed, cheerful ambiance.

A beautiful entrance flanked by tropical vegetation adds to the breezy, coastal look of the house that is largely clad in clean white stucco. The lavish pool is the central design element of the house around which other elements function, and it becomes the focal point of the lower level of the home. An open-floor living area, dining space and kitchen open up towards the pool and the backyard thanks to the extensive use of sliding glass doors, while the second floor cantilevered above the pool makes a spectacular visual impact.

Bright accents of purple in the living room, gorgeous pendant lights and natural greenery enliven the interior dominated by cool, neutral hues. A large gallery-style corridor and sculptural staircase lead to the top floor that houses the cozy bedrooms and indulgent bathrooms along with an uber-cool private terrace. Lovely views of the bay area and a serene internal courtyard complete this posh Miami residence.
