Composed of fifty-nine individually designed waterfront residences arrayed around a glittering lagoon on Biscayne Bay, Monad Terrace provides brilliant light and expansive private outdoor space while being sheltered by climbing gardens that feature native Bougainvillea and Passion Vines. Jean Nouvel artfully directs the play of daylight and water throughout the project. High-tech honeycomb screens precisely calibrate views and seclusion. Reflecting pools bounce dappled light deep into living spaces, while the signature water garden—the central lagoon, reflection pools, and adjacent swimming pool—draws the feeling of sparkling Biscayne Bay into the heart of the property. Light and water, glass and steel, gardens and façades all combine into what Nouvel has dubbed “the reflection machine”.

The flourishing and special neighborhood of South Beach Bay, minutes from the organic beauty and cultural attractions of all of Miami Beach, but with a character all its own, provides a natural setting for the unique waterfront living to be found at Monad Terrace.

Each residence is carefully oriented to maximize views while providing seclusion. Nouvel’s meticulous attention to detail and use of materials are manifested in the interplay of translucency and reflectivity throughout, making each space light-filled and exuberant.

A true rarity in this day and age, Monad Terrace’s architectural design, landscape design, and interior design are all the work of the same hand: Ateliers Jean Nouvel. Exclusively designed kitchens are no exception: the sculptural heart and showpiece of each residence, whether for formal dining or relaxed entertaining. Marble surfaces and fully integrated state-of-the-art appliances harmonize with brushed bronze accents and stainless steel fixtures.

Transparency and translucency are achieved by a bespoke engineered screen system, built into Monad Terrace's faceted glass walls. While the glass facing the bay is clear, the glass facing the lagoon features a distinctive aluminum hexagrid screen embedded within the glazing itself. Viewed from an oblique angle, the screen becomes opaque. When viewed head on, these same screens become transparent—adding sparkle and luminosity to every interior space. Throughout the floor plan, the angle of each facet is unique—precisely calibrated to the lines of sight from within each residence, to the waterfront and beyond, as well as sheltering residences from adjacent sight lines. The resulting crystalline profile frames the water garden, as each screen extends beyond the façade to create a sculptural fin that protects privacy, resulting in a highly functional and beautiful vision.

All residences offer generous indoor-outdoor living space.
Whether used for dining al fresco, sunbathing, or easy access to multiple rooms, the terraces’ spectacular views of the bay and/or Miami Beach make them an idyllic outdoor oasis.

Nouvel’s custom-designed bathrooms strike a balance of discretion and boldness. Richly veined, spacious stone countertops, stone flooring, stone tiled walls, and a soaking tub all combine to establish a sanctuary of repose.

Monad Terrace presents a limited offering of four exceptional penthouse residences—each a unique expression of Jean Nouvel’s vision. Capturing all of the sparkling effects of light and water, the penthouses feature Great Rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic views of Biscayne Bay and/or the Atlantic Ocean, as well as private rooftops and dedicated, en-suite elevator access.
Master suites have lagoon views, with bay view soaking tubs along with dual closets and bathrooms.

Penthouse interiors open up to expansive wraparound terraces for indoor-outdoor living, while multi-level, elevated rooftops are detailed with hot tubs, plunge pools and double-width lap pools up to 78 feet long with 360-degree, sunrise-to-sunset views from South Beach and the Atlantic to Biscayne Bay. Pergolas and trellises with native plantings shade outdoor lounges, dining, and kitchen areas; integrated planters and seating provide lush and intimate retreats.
