CASA REIA BEACH CLUB, MIAMI

Casa Reia Beach Club was envisioned as a vibrant hospitality destination on the Miami coast, designed to celebrate nature, culture and community through architecture. The project sought to create a destination that merges dining, leisure and performance into a unified experience. Surrounded by palm trees and lush greenery, the design positioned the club as both a sculptural landmark and a welcoming retreat, with landscaped pools, shaded lounges and terraces arranged to encourage relaxation and social connection.

The proposal focused on blending the built environment with its natural surroundings. Expansive glass façades provided uninterrupted views, while flowing geometries guided visitors across different spaces. During the day, natural light filtered through patterned roof structures, and in the evening, soft illumination, firepits and performance areas created a lively and atmospheric setting. Casa Reia Beach Club was imagined as a holistic environment where architecture framed collective experiences rooted in nature, rhythm and storytelling.

At the heart of the design was a crown-like bar that acted as both a gathering point and an architectural feature. Around this central hub, the project expanded into an amphitheatre arrangement and cascading terraces leading to the pool and outdoor lounges. Curved staircases and organic geometries defined movement through the site, while the entrance featured a striking façade inspired by waves and natural erosion.

The concept combined parametric design with material sensibility to create a bold yet inviting spatial language. The architectural approach explored how geometry could frame views, capture light and create immersive experiences that were both memorable and welcoming.
