It Is Both a Quarry and a House | The Pierre

The Pierre is a modern house designed to integrate with the rocky landscape, celebrating the materiality of the site. Nestled into a stone outcropping, the residence uses stone, a green roof, and surrounding foliage, almost disappearing into nature from certain angles. The house features an open-plan design with a kitchen, dining, and living area, along with a master suite carved directly into the rock. Excavation marks and natural materials were preserved and repurposed, creating a contrast between the rustic elements and the luxurious interior finishes.

Developed by iStar and managed by Salt Hotels, the 54-key Ocean Club is part of a complex that includes 130 residential condominiums, a business center, and an array of soon-to-come retailers. Designed by Handel Architects, it spans an entire beachfront block. The project’s creative director and head of overall design is Anda Andrei, best known for her work at the Hudson, 11 Howard, and Gramercy Park hotels in New York. She also collaborated with iStar on the Ocean Club’s sister property, the Asbury Hotel, which opened in 2016 and is located just one block inland.
