Chilean Architect Gonzalo Mardones’ First U.S. Residential Project Lists in Miami

Art Basel Miami has come and gone this year, but Miami is always showing its flair for the unique. Casa Coral embodies the sculptural architecture and elevated design that define Miami’s celebrated artistic legacy and it just listed for $10 million. Up for sale quietly but not in MLS, the waterfront residence shimmers within the coveted Belle Meade neighborhood and stands as one of only four homes in the exclusive, new Marea Collection, which is currently under construction.

Designed by Sunland Group’s in-house team in collaboration with highly-acclaimed Chilean architect Gonzalo Mardones, Casa Coral marks Mardones’ first residential project in the United States. An expressive presence emerges through crisp geometry and a carefully composed built form, harkening to 20th century modernism, a recurring pattern we’ve been seeing in new construction. Its shape makes an immediate statement–embracing the Miami’s sleek, view-driven glamour while thoughtfully responding to what discerning buyers value the most: A resort-like, water-facing setting. And, without the trade-offs or HOA constraints typically associated with these kind of sought-after neighborhoods.

Spanning 4,600 square feet, the home itself is anticipated for completion in June 2026 and will features four bedrooms, 50 feet of private water frontage, and a generous sundeck complete with a lap pool, spa, and alfresco dining area. Above it all, a rooftop entertaining space–along with multiple terraces–creates suave settings for gathering or relaxing with harbour views.

Who knows if Mardones, who has an office in Santiago, Chile and Miami, will design more U.S. residences? This is a chance for an affluent fan of his work to definitely nab one.
