In the serene and highly sought-after enclave of Bay Harbor Islands, a new residential gem is taking shape. Origin Residences is a limited-edition, waterfront development that perfectly blends the tranquility of island living with the sophisticated convenience of an urban lifestyle. This exquisite project is not merely a place to live; it is a fully curated living experience, born from a unique collaboration with the globally renowned Brazilian design firm, Artefacto.
Developed by VDA, a Chilean firm making its debut in the U.S. market, Origin Residences is a testament to innovative design and a visionary spirit. The building’s architecture, a sleek, minimalist structure designed by Revuelta Architecture International, rises seven stories to offer a collection of just 27 exclusive residences. The interiors are a showpiece of the Artefacto aesthetic, brought to life in collaboration with acclaimed designer Carla Guilhem, who is celebrated for her work on superyachts. This partnership ensures that every home is not only stunningly beautiful but also incredibly functional, offering a move-in-ready, turnkey solution for the most discerning buyers.
A Sanctuary of Style and Substance
Origin Residences offers a diverse collection of homes, from spacious two-bedroom units to expansive four-bedroom residences, with floor plans ranging from approximately 1,367 to 2,328 square feet. Each home is a sanctuary of style, with interiors fully finished and furnished by Artefacto, a major selling point that distinguishes it from other new developments.
- Expansive Living Spaces: Residences are designed with open floor plans and soaring ceilings—up to 9 feet in standard units and 11 feet in the penthouses—creating a feeling of grandeur and airiness.

- Refined Interiors: The design is a symphony of natural materials and a soothing neutral color palette. Italian porcelain flooring flows throughout the homes, complemented by luxurious finishes and smart home technology that ensures a modern, connected lifestyle.
- Ample Storage: Oversized walk-in closets and dedicated storage units on every residential floor provide practicality and convenience.
