The Lifestyle
Nestled between the exclusive enclaves of Indian Creek, Bay Harbor Islands, and Bal Harbour, home of the legendary Bal Harbour Shops, Surfside offers the best of many worlds.
Surfside is a quiet, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood removed from—but easily accessible to—the bustling energy of Miami and Miami Beach and their cultural, culinary, and shopping destinations. Arte is the latest and most exclusive building among several prestigious luxury hotels and residences, all designed by international architecture stars, that are transforming Surfside into a new American Riviera.
The Amenities
Arte features an impressive suite of luxury resort-style amenities and services. A collection of spa offerings includes a 75’ indoor lap pool with travertine decking and onyx accents, sauna, steam room, meditation pond. Fitness and recreation spaces are complete with an outdoor swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio, a dedicated pet runway and relief corridor, and a rooftop tennis court. A children’s playroom, a residents’ lounge with a catering kitchen allows for entertaining and play.
The Architechture
Arte’s signature material, used both on the exteriors and inside the residences, is a warm, richly veined Roman travertine. “Travertine is a very special stone with an unparalleled historic importance as the building material of choice in ancient Rome,” suggests Citterio. “It has a beautiful color and a very pronounced layering compared with other types of limestone.”
The façade is articulated with broad expanses of sliding glass doors and a gridded bronze Schüco window system framing spectacular views while creating a sense of privacy and security for residents.
One of the most celebrated architects and designers in the world, Antonio Citterio is synonymous with luxurious, elegant minimalism that infuses classic modernist style with sensuous materiality. His Milan- and New York-based firm, Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, is renown for luxury hotels and spas, elegant boutiques, spectacular private villas, and iconic furniture, lighting, and objects for Europe’s top design houses. Citterio’s work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
This new luxury Miami Beach condominium collection is the first-ever residential project in North America by Citterio and Viel in collaboration with Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design.
