Design Story
Inspired by nature, designed by icons
The Perigon unites a constellation of global design icons: OMA, Tara Bernerd & Partners, and Gustafson Porter + Bowman. Together they have magnified the building’s majestic oceanfront setting to present a residential offering without equal.
A place of peace with boundless horizons.
Drawing its name from the geometric term for an angle of 360 degrees, every aspect of The Perigon alludes to or reflects its spectacular wraparound views. The building is designed as a series of diamond-shaped towers that cascade towards the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, maximizing water vistas and privacy on both sides of the property. The Perigon’s sleek tiers create a façade that mimics the fluid form of the adjacent waters, promising a singular new landmark on the Miami Beach skyline.

An architectural masterpiece
Founded by Pritzker Prize-winning Rem Koolhaas – one of the most accomplished architects of the 20th and 21st centuries – international architectural firm OMA drew inspiration for The Perigon’s façade and ingenious orientation from the site’s horizon-stretching views.
Seemingly afloat above lush gardens, The Perigon’s slender columns, soaring lines, and wraparound terraces are a true feat of design engineering. Its glass curves are a subtle nod to Miami Beach’s rich Art Deco heritage and floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors invite an abundance of light within.
A visionary urbanist
The genius behind architectural landmarks around the globe since 1975, Rem Koolhaas’ OMA is renowned for its intelligent designs. They bypass standard solutions to completely reinvent typologies and forge new possibilities in the realm of architectural design.
The acceptance of certain realities doesn't preclude idealism. It can lead to certain breakthroughs.

A peerless sense of place
Responding to OMA’s eloquent, statement architecture by combining fresh textured interiors with a considered, layered, and timeless aesthetic, The Perigon’s interior design by Tara Bernerd & Partners redefines residential living in Miami Beach.
From the double-height lobby and sun-soaked social spaces to each distinct residence, The Perigon’s sanctuary-like interiors are inspired by the natural palette of Miami Beach and its ethereal quality of light. Refined fabrics, tailored weaves, and glossy timbers add a touch of classic European influence, while original designs focus on detail and impeccable craftsmanship.
Pioneering authenticity
Creating enduring designs for an international portfolio of luxury hotels, private homes, and yachts, Tara Bernerd and her team seek to instill meaning, connection, and a feeling of authenticity in every project through the curation of a distinct sense of place.
The most powerful and ultimately effective concept for any project invariably stems from an authentic response to the space and its unique attributes.

A living microcosm
Entrusted with some of the world’s most significant monument settings since its founding in 1997, Gustafson Porter + Bowman has condensed Florida’s varied natural beauty into The Perigon’s landscaping.
Intrigued by the ephemeral nature of the site – a sleek band between ocean and bay – Gustafson Porter + Bowman has created a microcosm of Florida’s landscapes through a series of interlinked habitats. Breeze-tussled coastal planting on the oceanfront transitions to a more tropical Everglades environment within.
A compelling juxtaposition
From reimagining the landscape of the Eiffel Tower to creating the Diana Memorial Fountain, Gustafson Porter + Bowman is continually pushing the boundaries of landscape design in the creation of engaging outdoor spaces.
Sensual curves generate a relaxed landscape, paying homage to the Art Deco spirit of Miami Beach and The Perigon’s 21st century interpretation thereof. These organic shapes are balanced against the building’s striking orthogonal forms.
