Miami, Florida, USA

TEN Arquitectos, Andrea Steele Architecture, and Sasaki Associates landscape architects join forces to create a 38-story sleek glass residential tower with luxury half- and full-floor units, each with panoramic views, expansive terraces, and private elevator landings.

2000 Ocean is a bold statement creating sixty-four residences encased in floor-to-ceiling windows.

Building amenities include two swimming pools with sunrise and sunset views, a private valet entrance, and a freestanding spa pavilion.

The long, uninterrupted views reiterate a predominant emphasis on the connection between landscape, nature, and people.

Presented with this duality, TEN Architects and Sasaki created a compelling and holistic vision for oceanfront life based on one fundamental principle: balance.

Serene gardens, a sculpture park, and reflective pools are interspersed in the property’s exteriors, providing tranquil counterpoints to the spectacular ocean views.

Each floor has a private terrace facing the eastern sea and a private terrace facing the western garden, giving residents the chance to watch the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean and set each day on the Intracoastal Waterway from the comfort of their own homes.

Inspired by the existing plantings found in natural abundance in the landscapes surrounding the site; vines, seagrapes, and coastal grasses are used in combination to define space, create a sanctuary, and provide respite for the residents and guests while ensuring the landscape design was cohesive with the architectural vision.

The aesthetic of the landscape design relates to the ocean by using coastal species in a minimal and contemporary way to create view corridors out towards the tranquil sea horizon.

The landscape and architectural elements work together to create a distinctive aesthetic reflecting one simple idea—a contemporary expression of the coastal landscape.

As far as the interior design is concerned, all interior and exterior amenity spaces are designed and furnished by Minotti.

The Italian furniture brand has brought its exceptional vision of elegance to a residential tower in the USA for the first time in its 70 years of history.

Minotti’s experience in working with stone, and commitment to intricate craft traditions, take shape in their creations for 2000 Ocean, which embraces a juxtaposition of textiles and leathers.

Minotti’s residential furnishings and access to personalized interior design services from Minotti’s designers are exclusively available to all 2000 Ocean’s residents.
