It’s no secret why Miami’s Bay Harbor Islands is one of the most coveted real estate destinations in the Magic City. Boasting tropical serenity just over the bridge from Miami’s hottest attractions, it’s not just an oasis, but one that fuses the best of both worlds. The allure of the Bay Harbor speaks for itself, and now its intrigue soars as the site of an inaugural endeavor for two acclaimed brands. VDA Origin Miami, a leading Chile-based development company, and its exclusive partner Artefacto, the internationally renowned home furnishings brand, just announced plans for the Origin Residences by Artefacto, marking the brands' first real estate venture in the country.
Sweeping skyward with a pyramid-like design, the bespoke building is set to grace the premier Bay Harbor Islands with 27 custom-finished and furnished residences offering two-to-four-bedroom options from 1,300 square feet to 2,330 square feet, with prices starting at $1.39M.

Artefacto will hit the ground running with long-time collaborator and designer Carla Guilhem, the mind behind some of Miami’s most lauded abodes and the world’s most luxurious superyachts. With Guilhem’s local expertise and the design firm’s international prowess, the collaboration promises balanced interiors that showcase Bay Harbor’s iconic waterfront views with natural light and an angular sensibility.

The Islands’ peaceful seclusion invites residents to work and play as they please, something the project will reflect with thoughtful design and endless opportunities for personalization. A private consultation with Artefacto’s team will allow each of the 27 condo owners to leverage the firm’s international savvy while building their dream home with a selection of fine finishes and furnishings. Throughout the building, Revuelta Architecture International—the development’s sustainably-minded architecture partner—will implement details to complement the busy lifestyles of residents.

With the structure’s beautiful bones as a blank canvas, customization will ensue effortlessly from each unit’s expansive layout and indoor-outdoor atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling, impact-resistant sliding glass doors and windows will pair with panoramic private balconies to bring Bay Harbor’s natural beauty home. Inside, each residence will boast fully-accessorized Italian-style kitchens with state-of-the-art appliances, modern bathrooms with Italian marble and European cabinetry, Italian porcelain flooring, and ample storage space.

“Every aspect of the design is meant to evoke emotion in residents, merging form, function and beauty into one,” said Paulo Bacchi, CEO of Artefacto.
The building’s design won’t be the only element that draws on Miami’s outdoor delight. An array of luxury amenities will offer infinite relaxation and a ticket to paradise. A private marina with boat slips will invite adventure with direct access to the Atlantic Ocean and the Miami/Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal waterways. In addition, The Residences will feature a watersports launch dock, panoramic rooftop pool with summer kitchens and bar, lobby lounge, kid’s playroom, coworking meeting space, gym, pet zone, and much more.
