BMALA GORCE
La Gorce
Miami Beach, FL
Situated on the prestigious La Gorce Island in Miami Beach, Florida, this waterfront residence offers breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. The shimmering reflections off the bay inspired an architectural exploration of light, shadow, and dynamic interplay between built form and water. Blending these elements into experiential moments and serene, intimate courtyards, the design aspires to create a home that is both a visual masterpiece and a sanctuary for everyday living.
Expansive overhangs, open-air courtyards, and floor-to-ceiling glazing dissolve the boundaries between interior and exterior, embracing the tropical climate and maximizing panoramic vistas. The heart of the home is a central courtyard, a lush and tranquil oasis where natural light filters through layered screens of greenery and water features, animating the space throughout the day.
Beyond, the waterfront terrace extends the living experience outward, offering an immersive connection to the bay. An infinity-edge pool, shaded lounges, and an outdoor dining pavilion framed by verdant landscaping create a setting for both relaxation and sophisticated entertaining. Carefully curated materials—natural stone, warm wood, and textured surfaces—enhance the sensory experience, reinforcing a timeless elegance that harmonizes with its surroundings.
Designed as both an architectural statement and a private retreat, this residence celebrates the ever-changing reflections of Biscayne Bay while offering an unparalleled lifestyle in one of Miami Beach’s most exclusive enclaves.
