Architecture and design lovers – take note! We love architecture and design here at Blackbook Properties, and so we couldn’t resist creating a video to share with our viewers the most famous Miami architects who have transformed this city over the last 120 years. Sep Niakan, founding broker and CEO of Blackbook Properties, takes you through history and the top architects who have helped shape the Miami of today and have built the city into a timeless masterpiece.

Miami has forever been an architecture lover’s paradise. There’s something for everyone here – from old Spanish bungalows with loads of European charm to whimsical Art Deco structures with their hard-to-miss pastel colors, and modernist skyscrapers that push the boundaries of design. Every building mentioned in this video contributes to making our coastal city stand out as an ever-evolving landscape that is poised to remain architecturally relevant in the future as well.

Tracing Miami’s architectural history from 1914 to the present day, you’ll find a mention of how names like Pual Chalfin & Francis B. Hoffman, Schultze & Weaver, Henry Hohauser & Murray L. Dixon, and Morris Lapidus have been design forces to reckon with and how their landmark structures have contributed unique elements that are referenced by architects even decades later.

We’re also talking about today’s most prestigious names, such as Arquitectonica and Kobi Karp, who are taking Miami architecture to new heights with their spectacular new condo towers. As Miami continues to evolve, we see that future architectural trends are dictated by sustainable and eco-friendly buildings that prioritize green spaces as much as the luxuries and smart technology offered inside to craft truly exceptional living spaces.

Some of the stunning new condo projects that are poised to leave an indelible mark on Miami’s architectural landscape include South Beach’s Five Park, the Rosewood Residences that will be part of the revamped Raleigh Hotel property, the sculptural Shoreclub Private Collection Residences, the riverfront Baccarat Residences, the solar-powered Residences at 1428 Brickell, and starchitect Rene Gonzalez’s Surf Row Residences.
