Round mid-century modern house in Miami Beach was designed by a Neo-baroque master

An architecturally distinct, 1954-built home in Miami Beach stands out as one of only two residential properties designed by famed architect Morris Lapidus.

Lapidus is best known for his Neo-baroque “Miami Modern” hotels constructed in the 1950s and ’60s — including the Fontainebleau and Eden Roc — which have since come to define that era’s resort-hotel style.

The Miami Beach house, which has only had two owners since it was first built in the mid-50s, gives away its architectural pedigree with a unique, round-shaped exterior — that Coldwell Banker Realty listing agent Elyse Rosenberg Khoudari says “looks like Pac-Man from the sky in the aerial photos.”

With 4,052 square feet of living space, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, oversized rooms, and mid-century modern aesthetics, the Morris Lapidus-designed home is listed for $3,950,000.
