When developer Alex Sapir needed an architect to design his luxury condo project in Surfside, he chose Antonio Citterio, knowing he could work creatively within the town’s height limit. “What’s interesting [about Surfside’s 120-foot height limit] is that you can be with the design a little bit more experimental, and that is why we brought in Citterio,” Sapir told The Real Deal.

“When he came in with the travertine terraces, we loved the idea. In Miami, everybody does stucco and paint and that’s it. And because we are on the beach, and people spend so much time on their terraces, we wanted that experience to be on your terrace to be magical.”
