Located at the northern boundary of Miami Beach where park meets ocean, Eighty Seven Park creates a fresh dialogue with the vibrant community of North Beach. Working in collaboration with Renzo Piano Building Workshop, West 8 has designed a series of private, public, and semi-public spaces for a residential tower that are inspired by the site’s extraordinary setting and the lush tropical landscapes of South Florida.

Extending right up to the edge of property and adjoining a newly-invigorated North Shore Open Space Park, the design seamlessly brings together architecture, city, and the natural landscape.

Creating a dialogue between private and public, natural and manmade, and indoor and outdoor spaces is fundamental to West 8’s design.  In the 1.5-acre private garden on the north side of the property, two elegant water features and a series of intimate foot paths introduce a language of minimalist linearity that stands in contrast to the rich and varied palette of tropical foliage. Narrow channels of water reflect the sun and pull the eye toward the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean.
