Colette is the result of a partnership between OSPA Arquitetura and META Developments, bringing together Miami-based real estate vision and Brazilian architectural authorship. The collaboration introduced a shared ambition: to reimagine contemporary luxury through design.
Located on Brickell Avenue, the heart of Miami, Colette reinterprets the concept of urban luxury as a boutique building with only 38 apartments. Inspired by the Parisian Colette, the project was conceived as a unique piece — architecture that weaves together circulations, courtyard, and typologies in an exclusive gesture, marked by its direct relationship with Miami’s landscape.
The project is set within a transition zone of the urban fabric, between high-rise buildings and single-family houses. This condition resulted in an architectural solution of a ground floor, four stories, and a rooftop, balancing density with the scale of the surroundings. The nearly square geometry of the site guided the decision to split the main volume into two blocks, increasing setbacks and multiplying façades. Between them, a central courtyard organizes the main access and internal flows.
From this courtyard, circulation unfolds in layers: from the multiple-height entrance to the double-height lobby, through human-scale galleries that connect to the shared spaces on the ground floor and rooftop. This sequence creates the experience of a covered plaza, where the boundaries between interior and exterior, built and landscaped, open and enclosed, become fluid.
The residences are arranged in different typologies. On the ground floor, the garden units introduce a new way of living integrated with the ground. On the standard floors, each apartment has direct elevator access to the living room, which opens 180 degrees to the landscape and extends into private outdoor areas. On the upper level, the penthouses feature expansive terraces, private pools, and panoramic lounges facing the sea.
Architecturally, the building is marked by light horizontal concrete planes, softened edges, and successive stacked layers. The brise-soleils fulfill a dual role: zoning internal uses and providing privacy while establishing the rhythm of the façades. In the social areas, transparency through glass enhances the connection with the landscape. The main volume rests on a solid base defined by vertical brises and suspended gardens, while at the crown a large pergola frames the views and structures the collective uses of the rooftop.
