Fouquet’s, the cinematic Champs-Élysées brasserie of artists and icons, is landing in Miami, bringing its exquisite flavor of French finery to the city’s Design District.

BY ARCHANA AITHAL ROSE

Miami’s Design District has evolved from an industrial grid of warehouses into one of the city’s most tightly edited expressions of contemporary luxury, where architecture, art, and retail operate as a single, curated landscape.

Within this context, Miami Design Residences by Fouquet’s emerges as a defining new address: a 26-story, nearly two-acre development at 39 NE 39th Street, conceived by Pritzker Prize-winning British architect David Chipperfield with interiors by RDAI and landscape design by Perry Guillot, marking a rare convergence of residential living and branded hospitality in the heart of the district.

Developed by Fort Partners, the project brings together 143 condominium residences and a 12-story Fouquet’s hotel, with the Parisian hospitality house also managing the residences and shaping five dining concepts throughout the property. Chipperfield’s architectural aesthetic is expressed through sculptural ceramic columns that respond to Miami’s shifting light, expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing framed in pale champagne mullions, and a restrained material palette defined by clarity and proportion. More than 40,000 square feet of amenities and integrated hotel services extend a continuous lifestyle of understated European refinement calibrated for Miami’s cultural rhythm.
