1111 N Venetian Drive, Miami

Introducing 1111 N Venetian Drive, the tranquil haven where your future waterfront estate on Biscayne Bay awaits. This exclusive opportunity invites you to experience unobstructed sunrise and sunset views, harmonizing with the serene beauty of the Miami skyline. With carefully crafted visual plans by Thamann Architecture + Design, this unique opportunity empowers you to actualize the waterfront residence of your dreams. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Miami Beach's Venetian Causeway on the Biscayne Bay lagoon, the design concept and vision for Villa 11-11 emerges as an architectural marvel, combining the principles of contemporary design and biophilic architecture. This residence is in proximity to Downtown Miami, Sunset Harbour, the Design District, and Miami Beach. This extraordinary location offers a sweeping Northern Bay view, includes 0.34 acres, and approximately a 15,000 sq ft lot, complemented by a recently completed seawall along 100 feet of waterfrontage. Currently, a two-story property occupies the premises; however, the envisioned future is unparalleled. This incredible vision boasts 6 bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms, 1 powder room, entry courtyard, Zen Garden, gym, library, pool, private dock, and an expansive rooftop terrace. The architecturally stunning renderings for this property showcase a contemporary Asian-inspired ambiance but also create a Zen and calming atmosphere, providing a harmonious blend of modern design and serenity. Future residents can anticipate a living experience that transcends mere architecture, offering a retreat-like experience in the comfort of one's home. The visual plans of the building's front façade feature elegant glass walls and sweeping courtyards, and it surprises with a cantilevered glass enclosure over the garden. The structure projects at a slight angle, deliberately breaking the linear continuity for a multi-layered effect, as if caught in perpetual motion. Originally designed as a jeweler's atelier, the studio's sharp lines shimmer like diamonds amid the garden greenery. Inside, the vision of Villa 11-11 is a fusion of East and West, with courtyards, fountains, and rooftop gardens incorporating contemporary, Asian, European, and Middle Eastern design elements. A courtyard with envisioned olive trees will welcomes visitors, while a tranquil Japanese Zen Garden on the first floor adds meditative tranquility. Bonsai and tropical gardens will be on the upper floors to provide private retreats, and Sacred Geometry-patterned decorative screens will ensure privacy and diffuse natural light throughout the interiors. Central to the villa's interior would be the live Japanese Niwaki tree, majestically growing in the entry hall. Its branches stretch upwards, reaching for the skylight on the second floor, connecting two levels while creating a natural canopy over the adjacent Japanese tearoom. The concept entails that as night falls, the large black metal panel on the waterside facade transforms into a luminous source, resembling a glowing lantern. Its intricate cut-out patterns, hidden during the day, would reveal themselves in the darkness, casting a delicate dance of light and shadow. Illuminated from within, the panel would scatter patterns of light across the villa's balconies and the waters of Biscayne Bay, mirroring a starlit sky. This design choice is a direct reflection of the owner's vision - a renowned contemporary jewelry designer known for her skillful use of black diamonds against gold and precious elements. Villa 11-11 thus becomes an extension of her artistic expression, seamlessly integrating the bold elegance of black diamonds with the architectural elements adorned with black metal accents. Whether your vision is a tranquil retreat or an elegant entertainment haven, the promise of 1111 N Venetian Drive epitomizes opulent waterfront living. Seize the moment now; your future Miami masterpiece awaits.
