Contemporary Elegance on Biscayne Bay
Perched dramatically along Biscayne Bay in the Venetian Islands, Venetian Drive by SDH Studio Architecture + Design is a 18,500-square-foot custom residence that redefines waterfront living in Florida. Designed as two interlocking volumes that appear to float above the lush coastal site, the home achieves a striking silhouette while remaining deeply connected to its natural surroundings.
“The design intention was to create a residence that feels both anchored to the land and effortlessly buoyant above it,” explains the lead architect from SDH Studio in a statement to Luxury Houses Magazine. “Every line and volume was conceived to enhance transparency and bring the bay into the heart of daily living.”
Transparency and Light as Defining Elements
A full-height glass façade dissolves the boundaries between interior and exterior, framing uninterrupted views of the bay. The home’s architectural language emphasizes openness, where limestone, travertine, and sustainably sourced timber create warmth and tactile richness.
Deep structural overhangs shade the interiors from Florida’s intense sun while accentuating the horizontal lines of the house. “Our material palette was deliberately restrained,” shares the architect, “because the true drama of this home lies in the interplay between glass, light, and water.”

Sculptural Living and Seamless Transitions
At the core of the home, a sculptural staircase rises beside a pebble-lined reflecting pool, reinforcing the connection between built space and natural elements. The interiors extend directly onto expansive terraces, an infinity-edge pool, and landscaped lawns that hover just above the shoreline.
“Every transition, from indoor to outdoor, was designed to feel seamless,” notes the design team. “The pool isn’t just an amenity—it’s part of the living landscape, flowing in harmony with the architecture.”

Private Suites with Waterfront Serenity
The upper level houses a series of private bedroom suites, each opening onto shaded balconies. Vertical fins provide privacy and solar protection, adding rhythmic elegance to the façade. These elements highlight the thoughtful balance between beauty and practicality.
As the architect emphasized to Luxury Houses Magazine, “This project is about creating serenity without losing sophistication. Venetian Drive is at once a private sanctuary and a bold architectural statement.”

A Unified Waterfront Vision
Every detail, from custom millwork to concealed systems, was meticulously crafted to achieve a seamless aesthetic. The home embodies SDH Studio’s philosophy of timeless contemporary architecture rooted in place and climate, offering both drama and tranquility.
“Designing on the edge of Biscayne Bay is about respect—for the water, for the landscape, and for the experience of inhabiting the shoreline,” the architect reflects. “Venetian Drive embodies that respect in every gesture.”
