Faena Miami Beach
Miami, United States
Miami is seen to advantage from the water, from which the city keeps its distance. In Coral Gables, avenues of banyans and the stucco of Andalusian-inspired villas hold on to a shade the rest of Florida lacks; in Coconut Grove, sails are raised before breakfast. The Art Deco is read at cornice height, in the design of the lettering and the rounded corners, without any need to linger on the pavements that display it. Miami lives in short sleeves from January to December, turned towards the south, and knows its light is enough.
