On a 14,304-square-foot lakefront lot in North Miami Beach, the Bir Residence spreads its 5,489 square feet across a single story, arranged as three distinct volumes. The tallest, at the center, holds the main living and social spaces.
Two lower wings flank it: one for the family's private quarters, the other for a two-car garage. The result is a house that reads as a composed group of related forms rather than a single, heavy mass.
