"The powerhouse design team of BIG and Raymond Jungles makes this South Florida's most exciting development," adds David Martin, President and Chief Operating Officer. "Our 'think tank' embodies a design-approach to development, questioning everything developers assume when building a residential property and creating environments that affects people's lives viscerally and emotionally. We are about intelligent luxury."
BIG, led by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels who recently received Wall Street Journal's 2011 "Innovator of the Year in Architecture" award, is creating the residences and amenity spaces. Raymond Jungles, the landscape architect who designed the grounds at Lincoln Road in Miami Beach and the New World Symphony's rooftop garden, will produce the outdoor spaces, including terraces, pools and walking paths. Rounding out the starchitect group is Nichols, Brosch, Wrust, Wolfe + Associates who provides architectural and planning services.
The interior design of the residences at Grove at Grand Bay will be just as spectacular as the building's exteriors. With an open flow-thru floor plan, each residence will showcase 12' ceilings and 12' floor-to-ceiling windows, unheard of in Florida, allowing for a unique feeling of space in the sky. The outside living areas, which will have wraparound balconies, are 12' deep creating a continuation of the indoor/outdoor living environment. Additional residential features include private elevator access to individual units, kitchens, Miele appliances and Dornbarcht fixtures.
Grove at Grand Bay will be located on the former site of the Grand Bay Hotel. Location is everything and residents will find themselves just minutes from key areas including the airport, downtown Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, as well as Coconut Grove's bustling center area lined with fine restaurants, cafes, art galleries and boutiques.
