Miami’s most compelling new residences are increasingly judged like collectible objects: by authorship, composition, and how the building performs as a work of art at the scale of a skyline. In South Florida, the rise of starchitect-designed towers is reshaping buyer expectations, from the intimacy of arrival sequences to the drama of view corridors and the restraint of material palettes. This editorial looks at what “architecture as art” means in practice for ultra-premium buyers and how to evaluate design credibility, livability, and long-term desirability across Brickell, Downtown, Edgewater, and Miami-beach.
