Rem Koolhaas Designs for Miami Beach: Inside Perigon’s Architecture
Last Updated: March 2026
Who is Rem Koolhaas and why does his involvement matter?
Rem Koolhaas is one of the most influential architects of the 21st century. He won the Pritzker Prize (architecture’s Nobel equivalent) in 2000. His firm OMA has designed buildings that have reshaped skylines and redefined what architecture can accomplish: the CCTV Headquarters in Beijing, the Seattle Central Library, the Rothschild Tower in Tel Aviv, and cultural institutions worldwide. He is also a theorist, author, and curator whose writings on urbanism have influenced a generation of architects and city planners.
The Perigon pairs OMA architecture with interiors by Tara Bernerd & Partners and landscape design by Gustafson Porter + Bowman. For a buyer, the drawings are the place to examine how that design translates into room arrangement, private elevator arrival and the connection to outdoor space.
How does OMA’s design approach differ from typical Miami luxury?
The Perigon materials describe an oceanfront setting with 200 feet of shoreline. Compare the way each plan places interior rooms and terraces within that setting, and request view information for the specific residence and floor.
For Perigon specifically, OMA’s oceanfront response creates architectural features that conventional buildings don’t attempt: varied floor plates that maximize view exposure, outdoor spaces that capture ocean breezes, and material choices that respond to the salt air and tropical light. The building doesn’t just face the ocean, it engages with it architecturally.
What makes Perigon architecturally significant?
The developer plans show a meaningful difference between residence lines. The four-bedroom Residence 01 plan on Floors 11 to 15 has 5,778 SF inside and 1,772 SF outside. The four-bedroom Residence 06 plan on Floors 4 to 9 has 3,808 SF inside and 2,240 SF outside.
The difference is more useful than a general claim about architectural prestige: Residence 01 adds 1,970 SF indoors, while Residence 06 provides 468 SF more outdoors. Consider how you would use those spaces before comparing a total-area figure.
How does architectural design quality affect property values?
Design quality is one consideration when comparing residences. Review it together with the current price, the applicable plan, the view, the condominium budget and the purchase terms. The drawings describe the home; they do not establish its future resale value.
Request current availability before treating a published plan as a home for sale. The plan library identifies four verified layouts, while the available inventory can change. The pricing request page provides the next step for reviewing a specific offering.
What should architecture-minded buyers know about Perigon?
First, read the individual developer plan rather than relying on bedroom count. Compare the elevator entry, room arrangement, terrace access and the separate interior and exterior areas. Match the plan to the residence line and floor band shown on the drawing.
Second, request view information and current terms for the specific home. A rendering or a plan for a different line does not establish the view from that residence. Contact me at 786-477-6955 to review The Perigon’s plans and available residences.
