The Evolution of Tropical Modernism at Rivage Bal Harbour
Nestled on an exclusive, pristine beach, Rivage Bal Harbour stands as a testament to the seamless fusion of architecture and nature. Designed by the visionary minds at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), this luxurious development takes modernism to new heights by embracing the unique contours of its coastal surroundings.
SOM’s signature style—characterized by clean, modern lines and pure geometry—serves as the foundation for Rivage Bal Harbour. However, this project deviates from their usual approach by letting the site itself guide the design's evolution. The result is an architectural marvel where straight lines soften and flow into the organic shapes of the local landscape.
The architects at SOM have skillfully integrated the natural environment into the building’s design. The curvaceous forms of Rivage Bal Harbour echo the gentle waves of the Atlantic Ocean and the lush greenery of the tropical setting. This incorporation of rounded forms not only creates a visual harmony with the surroundings but also enhances the residents' experience, allowing them to feel at one with the environment.
One of the most striking features of Rivage Bal Harbour is its ability to maximize the stunning panoramic views available from every angle. The architecture’s fluid lines and thoughtful placement ensure that residents are constantly connected to the beauty of the coastline. Floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive terraces invite the outside in, offering unobstructed views of the ocean, sky, and lush landscape.
Rivage Bal Harbour offers 200 linear feet of pristine private shoreline on a 2.67-acre property that rises to 25 stories of pure elegance. Within this towering structure are just 56 homes, each designed by the world-renowned architecture firm SOM, with interiors crafted by the esteemed Rottet Studio. The residences, ranging from three to six bedrooms and spanning approximately 3,300 to 12,600 square feet, are thoughtfully designed to offer sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and the iconic Miami skyline. Every residence is complemented by a two-car private garage and a storage area, ensuring convenience and privacy for all homeowners.
Rivage Bal Harbour makes resort living possible every day with its unparalleled combination of luxury, comfort, and exclusivity. Imagine stepping out onto a private beach just steps from your home, where only a limited number of expansive residences exist, ensuring tranquility and privacy. Enhanced by world-class amenities and services that rival the finest hotels, Rivage offers a lifestyle akin to a never-ending vacation—except you’re already home.
The lavish amenity program at Rivage Bal Harbour is designed to offer the best of Bal Harbour beachfront living. Residents are welcomed into an elegant two-story lobby, where a full-time concierge provides comprehensive, customized services. The lobby and common spaces are also home to curated art programs, with rotating exhibitions that add a cultural touch to everyday life.
Tropical Modernism Redefined

This unique blend of modernism and organic forms sets a new standard for luxury living on Miami’s most coveted stretch of coastline.
