THE MERIDIAN CONDOMINIUMS
Miami Beach, FL
The Meridian, a 111-unit, 320,000 SF, six-floor luxury condominium, features an innovative urban design solution, brilliant for its quiet lack of impact. Located next to a Holocaust Memorial with height restrictions and within a high-traffic convention center area, the development is situated on a triangular site with an extraordinarily long frontage and stringent setback requirements. The design response, which more than satisfied the developer’s requirements for density and the residents’ desires for expanse, is an origami-like unfolding that devolves across the irregular site on the boulevard side. Its undulations provide visual rhythm to the long, continuous façade and relates geometrically to the character of the neighboring Art Deco District.
