South Beach Retreat

New Construction

 Elevating coastal living to new heights, this residence marks the inception of Patrick Ahearn Architects' renowned "upside-down" design series along South Beach, where primary living spaces grace the upper levels, offering unparalleled water vistas. Drawing inspiration from the timeless elegance of early-twentieth-century McKim, Mead & White architecture in Montauk, Long Island, the home showcases a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.

The shingle-style façade, with its charming asymmetry, distinctly delineates different areas within the home. The second floor unfolds as an inviting expanse of open-plan gathering areas, adorned with inlaid floors and transoms, while a secluded guest suite occupies the carriage-house wing. Below, the first floor accommodates children's quarters and a study, while the master suite, crowned by a Nantucket dormer, commands panoramic views from the third level. Embracing alfresco living, the second-floor deck and ground-level covered porch beckon residents to savor the coastal panorama and expansive lawn, epitomizing the essence of seaside luxury.
