More than two years after her untimely passing, the late Dame Zaha Hadid?s self-designed Miami residence has sold for $5.75 million. Arguably one of the greatest architects of our time (and the first woman to be awarded the prestigious Prtizker Architecture Prize), Hadid is known for creating bold, dynamic structures full of organic curves and diagonal lines that suggest a sense of movement. These identifying characteristics are all visible in the three-bedroom, four-bath residence overlooking South Beach, located at 2201 Collins Avenue.

Originally listed by Sotheby?s at $10 million, this sleek residence set within the W South Beach luxury hotel boasts floor-to-ceiling windows throughout its living spaces and bedrooms to provide some truly breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to Hadid?s 2,541-square-foot personal quarters, the residence also contains an adjacent studio apartment with its own entrance. The final sale price reflects nearly a 50-percent reduction from the original asking price. Sotheby’s hails the sculptural residence as Hadid’s “masterpiece,” touting not only its stunning ultramodern style but the fact that the home is filled with objects Hadid designed herself, including a white Zephyr sofa and glass Liquid Glacial tables.
