You know that crown. Even if you don’t know the building’s name.

Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 1983, one of the most influential architecture firms of the 20th century, known for its civic and institutional work.

This building remains one of the most recognizable silhouettes in Downtown Miami and a defining feature of the city’s skyline @skidmoreowingsmerrill

If you have walked past this at Bayside Marketplac

If you have walked past this at Bayside Marketplace, here’s the story.

This is Miami’s tribute to the Space Shuttle Challenger. The memorial honors the seven astronauts who lost their lives in 1986 and marks a moment that left a permanent imprint on the country.

Designed by Japanese artist, Isamu Noguchi.

In a city that moves fast and builds even faster, this piece is quiet and intentional. A reminder that exploration, risk, and progress are part of who we are.

Next time you are at Bayside, look up. #miamiart #miamilife #artinpublicspaces @isamu_noguchi

Every year, it’s a tradition. Cirque du Soleil com

Every year, it’s a tradition. Cirque du Soleil comes to Miami.

The theme changes. The storyline evolves. This year, it was Luzia under the big top, and it felt immersive. Transportive. Exactly the kind of reset you do not get from a weekend brunch.

There’s something about sitting in that tent and choosing to disconnect. No market talk. No headlines. No notifications. Just light, water, music, and humans doing things that make you question physics.

Different show every year. Same excuse to step out of reality for a minute. 🎪✨ @luzia.cirquedusoleil @bozaagency @igersmiami #cirquelovesmiami #luzia #miamilife

The Pink House · Miami Shores

Late 1970s, Arquitectonica founders Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Laurinda Spear built it for themselves. When architects build for themselves, you pay attention.

The project is a study in interlocking planes. A controlled composition of solid and void. The street facade intentionally scaled to the suburban context, while the bay elevation opens up and expands.

PINK: Five shades that caused enough neighbor drama to get the zoning board involved. They approved it, but only after requiring a grove of trees to soften the street view. Miami Shores said, “fine, but add landscaping.” The landscape became part of the sequence.
(Although I’m still not a fan of the Black Olives.)

The circle carved into the front pool reads as a geometric counterpoint to the rectilinear composition. Nautical or not. Art Deco or not. It’s iconic. And very Miami.

Tropical modern before the term was fashionable. Still sharp. Still unapologetically pink. #pinkhouse #miamiarchitecture #miamilife
