La Gorce Island’s Waterfront Masterpiece Brings New Meaning to Luxury

This extraordinary Miami Villa Arte redefines luxury living, with its sleek minimalism. The exquisite façade in bronze, travertine and Covet ‘s Japanese made Art Wood cladding sets the stage for a truly remarkable haven.

Designed collaboratively by the renowned firm Choeff Levy Fischman and developer Aquablue Group, this architectural masterpiece seamlessly combines contemporary design with the tranquil surroundings of its waterfront location.

Situated on the prestigious La Gorce Island, Covet had the privilege of being a featured material along side a sumptuous palette of natural materials on the exterior façade, and unrivalled interior finishes in leather, marble and luxurious wall coverings handcrafted by Italian artisans.

"In my business we work with several species of natural wood for flooring. Our clients expect unique, authentic products that suit their modern homes.”

The exquisite façade features Covet’s Japanese made oku battens, seamlessly blended with bronze, book-matched travertine, and cascading waterfall feature usher residents and guests towards the grand entrance, setting the stage for a truly remarkable haven.

The Covet timber look 30x30 Kabebari aluminum slats in Supuringu Oku color, offer a matte finish and surface texture that add a natural aesthetic to the façade. Complemented by a 1mm backing sheet of the same finish, the slats provide an engaging textural feel to the exterior, creating a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality.

“The Covet Art Wood product exceeded the expectations of the designers and our team appreciated the ease of install and quality."

The choice of the Japanese-made Art Wood was critical in achieving a realistic appearance that effortlessly merges the living areas with the outdoor spaces.

The Supuringu Oku color harmonizes perfectly with the exotic travertine stone work on the ground level, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the residence.

This architectural marvel exemplifies the expertise of Choeff Levy Fischman and Aquablue Group in contemporary design, as it harmoniously combines luxury, functionality, and a deep connection with nature. 

The supply, designer interface and meticulous installation of the Covet materials was carried out by the skilled team at Urbanik Surfaces Miami.

Our clients expect unique, authentic products that suit their modern homes.
