Located on Little River edge, on the beautiful Belle Meade Island, these 2 houses are built on a huge lot, in the north Miami residential area.

The houses are developed in an area of 6,500 SF under AC, on 2 stories + garage.
The courtyard is composed of a tropical landscape with a swimming pool, jacuzzi, large terraces, BBQ and a dock boat accessible from the river.
Floor plans are very functional with extraordinary flow in the house and offer double height volumes under ceiling. The entrance is distinguished by large geometric volumes in concrete and stone and contains a 3 car garage.

The main spaces: living room, dining room and family room are opened by large windows overlooking the tropical garden and swimming pool.
These rooms are articulated around a stunning open kitchen with a 20" long countertop bar. The first story also includes a guest room, staff room and service room.

On the second story, a large and very comfortable Master suite and 3 bedrooms are oriented to the quiet of the courtyard riverside. A den is offered as another lounge area.
Large, cantilevered roofs overflow the facades and protect them from rain and sun.
The butterfly winged shape of the roof offers dynamic images and affirms the contemporary design of the architecture.

The houses are impressive pieces of contemporary architecture with sharp lines, offering comfort and an exceptional quality of life along the river and just next to Biscayne Bay.
