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.

What we like about this project
A prominent vertical stone mass bisects the facade, acting visually as both chimney and structural anchor.
