“Monad Terrace innovates while integrating seamlessly into the context of Miami Beach,” commented the Founder of JDS Development, Michael Stern. “Its thoughtful design serves as an exemplar for how we should be building and developing coastal cities. Without compromising aesthetics, this project brings the ingenuity and design that is entirely appropriate to this environment. This is an important project for Miami Beach, and I am proud that JDS is leading the way.”

The lobby level of the Monad Terrace is elevated by 11.5 feet off the ground level of West Avenue. Thus, considerably raising all of the interior above the level of the floodplain in addition to eradicating the necessity of digging deep to reach the water table.

To diminish glare and regulate the sizzling temperature, the façade comprises a honeycomb screen which is incorporated into the glass curtain wall system. Greenery is a distinct feature of the project which will improve the quality of the air as well as reduce its temperature.

Moreover, there will be a lagoon and a big water garden that would join greenery and water together. In addition, the project will contain a swimming pool 116 feet in length as well as some reflecting pools. All these elements will create an exquisite ambiance that is described by the architect as “the reflection machine”.

The building will comprise 59 residential units with a number of bedrooms that varies between 2 and 5. The interior design of the units was also the brainchild of Jean Nouvel. In addition, there are four penthouses that will have private swimming pools on their rooftop deck. Other features of the building include a bar and café, a spa, and valet parking.
