Composed of 59 individually-designed waterfront residences around a glittering lagoon, Monad Terrace—by Ateliers Jean Nouvel—provides brilliant light and expansive private outdoor space sheltered by climbing gardens of native plants and flowers.

In the case of Monad Terrace, it’s not only a building. It’s an object belonging to the landscape, and belonging to a sense of place, and a positive part of the identity of that place.


Jean Nouvel

Innovation

Monad Terrace is designed to reflect the light and water of its surroundings, while living in harmony with the time and place in which it rises.

From the beginning—and always—it has been important to me to put the spirit of place in all my work. Here in Miami, I wanted to create a building that is like the reflection of the sun on the water.


Jean Nouvel

Sunlight on Biscayne Bay

A sawtooth façade brings the feeling of Biscayne Bay deep into the heart of the property, creating what Nouvel has dubbed “the reflection machine.”

The unique honeycomb design captures, diffuses, and reflects incoming lights, simultaneously framing views and providing privacy.

Nouvel has never shied away from luxury, but his work is grounded in a minded belief that architecture’s responsibility is to improve its surroundings and to serve a larger social purpose. Or, as he puts it, 'With one building you can change the nature of a place.'

Curated climbing gardens run along the North and South façades of Monad Terrace.

Ateliers Jean Nouvel have composed the landscape specifically to complement the architecture. A sheltering cascade of native Bougainvillea, Spanish Moss, Tillandsias, Passion Vine, and other curated species create natural filters and curtains for the terraces behind, bringing the feeling of a living landscape on the North and South sides to the outdoor living area of every residence. The central lagoon is filled with plants and surrounded by sun decks.
