Miami’s urban skyline has undergone a subtle yet profound transformation in recent years. Along its luminous coast, buildings no longer simply serve as silhouettes against the Atlantic; they’ve become sculptural statements of light, material, and lifestyle. Among them, few capture the evolving ethos of luxury living quite like The Perigon. Situated along the famed stretch of Miami Beach known as Billionaire’s Row, this 17-story tower is more than just real estate—it’s a philosophy built in concrete, glass, and sea breeze. And at its very heart sits Residence 1101, a home that doesn't just reflect wealth, but expresses an elevated way of life.
At over 6,000 square feet, this four-bedroom oceanfront residence redefines what a Miami luxury condo can be. Upon entering, you’re immediately met with the kind of soft, immersive light that architects chase for years. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer a continuous visual dialogue with the Atlantic, and every room in the home is attuned to this rhythm. The primary suite is particularly remarkable, featuring a private wraparound terrace where the sky and ocean seem to blend into one living painting. Inside, a serene lounge area, spa-style soaking tub, and midnight bar create a fully immersive retreat designed not only for rest, but for renewal.
This focus on holistic, high-end living reflects broader shifts in American luxury real estate. From Beverly Hills to Manhattan, elite homeowners are no longer drawn solely to square footage or ostentation—they want residences that speak to light, flow, material quality, and emotional comfort. At The Perigon, that shift has been fully realized. In Residence 1101, every inch feels intentional. The home doesn’t scream for attention; it rewards quiet observation.
The open-concept layout centers around a spectacular kitchen, not tucked away but instead presented as the heart of the home. Featuring Italian custom cabinetry, Bianco Lasa marble countertops, and top-of-the-line Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, this kitchen is as functional as it is sculptural. In recent years, we’ve seen this trend dominate luxury homes in Napa, Austin, and Pacific Heights—where the kitchen becomes the new salon, the space where cooking, conversation, and daily rituals converge.
Just beyond, a dining area opens onto a grand outdoor terrace, encouraging al fresco living that takes full advantage of Miami’s climate. Here, meals are shared under starlight, and the soft Atlantic breeze becomes part of the conversation. This celebration of indoor-outdoor flow has become essential in luxury design—from Malibu to South Beach—and nowhere is it better executed than in this residence.
The home’s materials palette is equally thoughtful. Interior design firm Tara Bernard & Partners has drawn inspiration from the natural tones of the beach itself—sandy beiges, coral pinks, sun-washed woods, and sea-glass blues. The effect is quiet, timeless, and richly textural. There’s a sense of European refinement at play here, not in the form of gilded excess, but in restraint and detail. The design feels effortless, though clearly every decision was precise.
This is architecture that doesn’t just house a life—it heightens it. Designed by the world-renowned firm OMA, founded by Rem Koolhaas, The Perigon’s distinctive form incorporates slender vertical columns and curved glass that speak to Miami’s Art Deco lineage while pushing it into a new age. The building seems to float above the coastline, breathing with its surroundings.
But to understand the true appeal of The Perigon, one must step beyond architecture and into the lifestyle it affords. In Miami, luxury is never static—it is always experiential. For residents of Residence 1101, this means access not just to a home, but to an entire curated ecosystem of high-end living. Within ten minutes, you can be browsing rare timepieces and couture collections at Bal Harbour Shops, one of the most prestigious retail destinations in the United States. This isn’t shopping—it’s acquisition, curation, identity.
Beyond fashion, Miami has evolved into a full-spectrum luxury travel and cultural destination. The annual Art Basel Miami Beach draws the global art elite. Fine dining is no longer just Latin fusion and seafood—it’s Michelin-starred Japanese tasting menus, world-class wine cellars, and culinary collaborations with Parisian legends. For residents of The Perigon, many of these experiences are available via the property’s concierge team, which can coordinate everything from private chefs and sommeliers to art consultants and wellness retreats.
And then, of course, there’s the water. Many residents of The Perigon own private yachts, moored at nearby marinas like Miami Beach Marina or Sunset Harbour Yacht Club. A weekend might include a spontaneous voyage to the Florida Keys or even an international crossing to the Bahamas. In the post-pandemic world, high-net-worth individuals are increasingly gravitating toward private maritime travel as a way to combine seclusion, spontaneity, and status. This “offshore extension” of the home is now a standard part of the ultra-luxury lifestyle.
Miami’s luxury hotel scene also supports this ethos. From The Setai and Faena Hotel to the newly launched Aman Miami, the city offers five-star services and spa programs that rival any global capital. For The Perigon’s residents, these hotels are not merely places to stay—they are social satellites, cultural outposts, and partners in well-being. It’s increasingly common for homeowners here to hold memberships at nearby clubs and institutions, extending the sense of community and privilege beyond the front door.
This convergence of real estate, travel, wellness, and cultural capital is what makes Miami’s new luxury movement so distinctive. In cities like New York or San Francisco, luxury still clings to tradition and history. In Miami, it feels fresh, fluid, and future-oriented. It’s a place where climate, design, and lifestyle align perfectly—a city in dialogue with the world, and with itself.
At its heart, The Perigon Residence 1101 is more than a home. It is a gateway to this entire world. It embodies a vision of living where architecture meets aspiration, where every sunrise is framed like a canvas, and every detail—no matter how small—has been considered. True luxury, after all, isn’t about size or price. It’s about meaning, about how a space supports your body, your mind, your family, your dreams.
And in this rare corner of the Miami coastline, that kind of living isn’t just possible—it’s designed into every stone, every light fixture, every glass curve that catches the morning light.
