Rene Gonzalez
The collaboration of modern architecture with nature is shown in all of his works. GLASS, an ultra-high-end oceanfront condominium property in South of Fifth’s trendy neighborhood in South Beach, is designed to bring the outdoors and indoors together as one with its glass and metal exterior reflecting the sand, sky, and water, the natural elements of Miami Beach.
Louver House, another ultra-lux condominium property in South of Fifth, is designed much differently than the contemporary GLASS but still modern in its design. The Louver House was originally The Belvedere Bungalow, a 1920’s art deco building on the famed Ocean Drive, and Mr. Gonzalez, while still embracing the modern South of Fifth neighborhood, pays homage to this bygone landmark. He was able to construct a natural and comfortable environment that captures the beauty and life of South Beach and the art deco look of Ocean Drive.
