SAOTA have recently completed a new modern house in Miami, Florida, that sits on Dilido Island, and has views of downtown and South Beach.
The house sits on a pie shaped lot that spills out onto the waterfront, and draws on the jet-set lifestyle of Biscayne Bay to evoke the experience of being on the deck of a super yacht.

The entrance from the street has an in-out driveway with lush planting and a series of wall planes and volumes, that are held together by a curved screen of etched glass.
