Miami has long been a playground for passionate and innovative architects, resulting in an eclectic subtropical architectural style. Although Art Deco is Miami's most popular architectural style, modern architecture has become more distinct in recent decades.

Architects in Miami are known for their ability to incorporate the local landscape, natural elements and the unique climate of South Florida into their designs. Whether they are designing a custom single-family luxury home or a commercial building, these professionals are able to create homes that are both functional and stylish.

The Miami Design District is a prime example of this, as many of the buildings are designed to complement their surrounding contexts and surroundings. One such location is the historic Vizcaya estate, a Mediterranean style palace with baroque flourishes and a vast collection of statuary that still stands today.

Villa Vizcaya is a must-see for anyone who visits Miami, especially if they love history. Built as a summer getaway for millionaire James Deering in 1914, the estate features a beautiful European garden, grottos, and a stunning statuary collection.

Another must-see is the iconic Four Seasons Hotel and Resort on Brickell Avenue. Currently the tallest building in Miami, the hotel boasts 70 floors and a number of high-end amenities.

There are many other notable Architects in Miami, such as Wahl Snyder, who designed the J. Neville McArthur Engineering Building on the University of Miami campus and is considered part of a group of South Florida architects that developed a modern architecture that acknowledges the local environment as well as advances in technology.

Other notable Miami-based architects include Max Strang, whose Sarasota School of Architecture influences his work, and Robertson & Associates. With a strong international reputation and extensive experience, this firm has worked on projects all over the world.

The Miami Design District and the Miami Beach area are also prime examples of contemporary architecture that is adapted to the tropical climate. Architects often use the unique landscape and natural elements to create a space that is both functional and stylish, while at the same time making a statement about their clients' taste.

STRANG Architecture is another reputable Miami-based firm that produces a style that has gained traction amongst the public, as the firm's work is known to highlight natural materials and transition from interior spaces to outdoor settings seamlessly. This includes its Beach Residence, which The Tropic Magazine described as "a modern, Florida-inspired take on the modern house," incorporating an eclectic mix of elements and materials.
