Arte Surfside 8955 Collins Avenue, Surfside, FL 33154

This new luxury Miami Beach condominium collection is the first-ever project in the United States by Citterio and Viel in collaboration with Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design.

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.

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 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.

Drawing inspiration from classic European apartments of the 1920s and ’30s, the interiors at Arte are designed to maintain privacy between entertaining areas and bedrooms while enjoying abundant natural light and sweeping ocean views. Wide plank 11″ European white oak flooring accentuates the impressive layouts and offsets the bronze detailing and architectural travertine seen throughout. Expansive terraces with Brazilian Ipe decking are wrapped in travertine and offer seamless indoor and outdoor living.

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, and a double-height cascading water feature that creates a serene ambiance. 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 billiards and a catering kitchen allow for entertaining and play.

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 renowned 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.
