Arte's signature material, used both on the exteriors and inside the residences, is a warm, richly veined Roman travertine. 'Travertine is a very special stone with an unparalleled historic importance as the building material of choice in ancient Rome,' suggests Citterio. 'It has a beautiful color and a very pronounced layering compared with other types of limestone.'
Arte, a one-of-a-kind collection of 16 oceanfront luxury condominiums in Surfside, is the first-ever residential project in North America by the legendary Italian architecture and design partnership of Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel in collaboration with Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design. This striking addition to Surfside is located moments from Indian Creek, Bay Harbor Islands, Bar Harbour, and Miami Beach. The facade is articulated with broad expanses of sliding glass doors and a gridded bronze Schuco window system framing spectacular views while creating a sense of privacy and security for residents.
Drawing inspiration from classic European apartments of the 1920s and '30s, the interiors at Arte are designed to maintain privacy between entertaining areas and bedrooms while enjoying abundant natural light and sweeping ocean views. Wide plank European white oak flooring accentuates the impressive layouts and offsets the bronze detailing and architectural travertine seen throughout. Expansive terraces with Brazilian ipe decking are wrapped in travertine and offer seamless indoor and outdoor living.
Arte features an impressive suite of luxury resort-style amenities and services. A collection of spa offerings includes a 75' indoor lap pool with travertine decking and onyx accents, sauna, steam room, meditation pond. Fitness and recreation spaces are complete with an outdoor swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio, a dedicated pet runway and relief corridor, and a rooftop tennis court. A children's playroom, a residents' lounge with a catering kitchen allows for entertaining and play.
