With a dining room wrapped in windows, the view is one of lush palm trees and people coming and going below. Featuring American classic cuisine, highlights of the menu include Ahi Tuna Tartare, the Grill’s Cheeseburger, Shrimp Louis Salad, and a selection of USDA Prime steaks and entrée salads. In addition to an indoor island bar, a separate outdoor bar and patio lounge provide opportunities to relax. The Grill at Bal Harbour continues in the line of other Hillstone restaurants by including museum caliber works of art in contemporary yet warm spaces. An azure pool transforms from plane to volume as breezes play across the surface. When sunshine glints off the water the interior of the house is speckled with playful washes of light. The startling crisp light of a cloudless blue sky at noon enters through windows at once sculptural and enigmatic. The clean geometry of the structure merges with the bright light of day. The combination of stucco and terrazzo reiterates the local architectural vernacular and recalls the natural hues of sand and light, while practically providing visual and tactile relief from the shimmering heat of the day. As the sun sets, pinks and oranges streak the horizon and recast as a serendipitous reinterpretation of Monet’s impressionism on the swimming pool surface. The impending evening promises cooler breezes which are coaxed inward through open windows and doors. Darkening island skies, speckled with starlight, press close to the house. Denizens who may have spent the day at the golf course or on the water, enter the heart of the house, the bulthaup kitchen, aglow with the warm amber light and open to the adjacent pool area.
