Inside Glasshouse, a Custom Miami Beach Residence Designed around Biscayne Bay

July 2026
Some homes are defined by their architecture, while others are shaped by their surroundings. At Glasshouse, the two are inseparable, with every design decision made to enhance the connection with Miami’s glistening Biscayne Bay.
Completed in 2026 and set along 107 feet of open bay frontage at 1141 N Biscayne Point Road in Biscayne Point, the custom residence was designed to showcase waterfront views from nearly every major living space, creating a home where the landscape becomes part of the experience. Listed by Douglas Elliman's Dina Goldentayer, the newly completed home reflects the continued evolution of Miami Beach's luxury market, where buyers are increasingly drawn to homes that combine architectural distinction, waterfront access and the ability to enjoy a fully realized residence from day one.
Designed by Kobi Karp and built by Cetoute Design Group, the residence sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within this coveted gated Miami Beach community. From the street, its contemporary exterior offers privacy through clean architectural lines, leathered stone and expansive glass. Beyond the front door, retractable walls open the main living spaces to the water, creating a seamless connection between the interiors and Biscayne Bay.
"This home is the complete package," says Goldentayer. "A prime cul-de-sac location in a gated neighborhood with open water views and incredible design execution. It's the kind of property that's hard to replicate and even harder to find in this area."
The home's design relies on a carefully considered material palette that highlights craftsmanship throughout. Custom millwork, natural stone and warm oak flooring create a sense of continuity across the interiors, while each space maintains its own character.
"The home is enveloped in retractable glass to maximize the bay views and create a seamless connection with the outdoors," Goldentayer adds. "The views from the rooftop terrace are unbeatable. Every detail and finish was meticulously selected to create a true luxury experience."
At the center of the home, an Italkraft kitchen anchors the main living level with Brazilian marble countertops, an oversized eat-in island, Gaggenau appliances and a concealed pantry. The open-concept design allows the kitchen, living and dining areas to flow directly toward the waterfront, making the bay a constant presence throughout the home.
The second floor features four spacious suites, including a primary retreat designed around the property's sunset views. The bayfront primary suite includes a private terrace, a Viola marble bathroom and a custom Italkraft dressing room. A nearby glass-enclosed office with herringbone wood flooring offers a dedicated workspace filled with natural light.
The outdoor spaces continue the home's connection to the water. A new seawall and private dock provide direct access to Biscayne Bay, while a saltwater pool and spa, summer kitchen, al fresco dining area and expansive lawn create a private setting for entertaining and everyday living. A sculptural steel spiral staircase clad in leathered stone leads to the rooftop terrace, where panoramic views extend across Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach and the surrounding skyline.
Glasshouse also arrives as Biscayne Point continues to attract attention from luxury buyers seeking waterfront homes with privacy, security and convenient access to Miami Beach. The gated neighborhood has become increasingly appealing to buyers looking for larger lots and newly built residences in a more residential setting.
"Miami Beach has continued to attract an incredible amount of wealth, and that demand has extended to all pockets, not just the headline neighborhoods," says Goldentayer. "Biscayne Point is especially attractive because of the wide water views, gated security and central location. Buyers re-domiciling from California and the Northeast are looking for turnkey properties on oversized waterfront lots. They want to buy and be able to move in right away."
With an elevator, two-car garage, whole-home generator and thoughtfully integrated modern amenities, Glasshouse was designed for buyers seeking a finished waterfront residence in one of Miami Beach's most desirable communities.
For Goldentayer, the ideal buyer is someone who recognizes the value of both design and location.
"I see the ideal buyer as someone who appreciates exceptional design and uncompromising quality and understands the value of owning in a premier Miami Beach zip code," she says.
