A quietly influential piece of Miami\u2019s architectural history has returned to the market, this time with a new layer of design that brings it firmly into the present.<\/p>\n

Known locally as \u201cSkyFin,\u201d the 1949 residence at 5261 NE 5th Street was originally designed by architect Rufus Nims, a key figure in Florida\u2019s tropical modernist movement. <\/p>\n

Now reimagined by architect and designer Gabriela Liebert, the home is listed for $6.5 million with Pietro Belmonte and Carlos Fernandez of Douglas Elliman.<\/p>\n

The result is a rare combination: a preserved modernist structure paired with updated interiors that respond to the home\u2019s original geometry rather than compete with it.<\/p>\n

Completed in 1949, SkyFin was designed as a response to Miami\u2019s climate long before sustainability became part of architectural language.<\/p>\n

The standout home<\/a> was elevated entirely on columns \u2014 an unusual structural move at the time \u2014 allowing air to circulate freely beneath and around the structure. <\/p>\n

This approach helped reduce heat buildup while encouraging natural cross-ventilation throughout the living spaces.<\/p>\n

One of the first South Florida homes carried fully by columns<\/h2>\n

Rather than relying on load-bearing walls, the home\u2019s weight is supported entirely by columns.<\/p>\n

This structural decision allowed for greater flexibility in layout and openness, while also giving the home its distinctive floating appearance \u2014 a defining feature of tropical modernist design.<\/p>\n

A fin-shaped roofline that became the home\u2019s signature<\/h2>\n

The home\u2019s nickname comes from its most recognizable element: a dramatic, fin-shaped roofline.<\/p>\n

That sculptural form has made SkyFin a quiet landmark within Miami\u2019s design community<\/a> for decades, standing out without relying on scale or ornamentation.<\/p>\n

The property sits within Morningside, a guard-gated neighborhood known for its mix of historic homes and waterfront estates.<\/p>\n

Unlike newer developments, the area has retained much of its original character, making it a natural fit for a home with this kind of architectural history.<\/a><\/p>\n

The latest chapter of SkyFin comes through a redesign by architect Gabriela Liebert.<\/p>\n

Rather than restoring the home to a strict midcentury aesthetic, the approach focused on working with the existing architecture \u2014 introducing contemporary materials and finishes that complement the original structure.<\/p>\n

Interiors shaped by the home\u2019s geometry rather than period replication<\/h2>\n

The interiors, designed by All About The Wow, initially leaned into a midcentury direction<\/a> before shifting toward something more forward-looking.<\/p>\n

Furnishings and styling were chosen to echo the home\u2019s curves and structural rhythm, creating a space that feels aligned with the architecture rather than tied to a specific era.<\/p>\n

Each space is positioned to maintain a sense of openness while still offering privacy where needed.<\/p>\n

More than 2,100 square feet of terraces and rooftop space<\/h2>\n

Outdoor space plays a central role in how the home is experienced.<\/p>\n

With over 2,100 square feet of terraces, balconies, and rooftop areas, the layout extends beyond the interior, creating multiple vantage points for entertaining or everyday use.<\/p>\n

A Miami landmark with a new chapter<\/h2>\n

For more than seven decades, SkyFin has held a quiet place in Miami\u2019s architectural landscape.<\/p>\n

Its latest iteration doesn\u2019t attempt to rewrite that history. Instead, it builds on it \u2014 preserving the elements that made the home notable in the first place while introducing a more current way of living within its walls.<\/p>\n

At $6.5 million, it stands as both a restored modernist residence and a continuation of an architectural idea that began in 1949 and still feels relevant today.<\/p>\n
