BMA Architects

BMA Architects in Miami designs luxury single-family residences characterized by prominent structural stone masses, deep canopy overhangs, and transparent glass stair enclosures set against reflective water features. The work serves as a strong reference for detailing exposed vertical circulation behind glass, integrating linear lighting into structural eaves, and balancing active water features with floating concrete thresholds at residential entries.
