Living with art at The Perigon: humidity, light, walls and the route a crate takes to the residence

A collection gets through a hurricane season by design, not luck. At The Perigon, here are the questions that decide whether the residence can hold it well.

This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.

Humidity Is The Issue

More than heat.

Conservators care most about steady relative humidity, more than an exact temperature. Miami air is warm and wet most of the year, so the risk comes when a residence is closed and the cooling set back: humidity climbs, canvas slackens, panels move, mould starts. Ask what cooling serves each residence at The Perigon, whether it removes moisture when idle, and whether a monitored humidity sensor can be added.

The Perigon: The homes are as the dossier records.

The Perigon dossier holds the developer’s published record. Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison.

Light Through The Glass

Laminated glass helps; it is not enough.

Impact glass is laminated, and its interlayer blocks most ultraviolet light. Visible light still fades paper, textiles and photographs. Ask for the light and UV figures on the product sheet, plan which walls at The Perigon take the afternoon sun, and ask whether shades or films are allowed under the rules and the glass warranty.

Walls And Weight

Know what is behind the paint.

Interior walls in a new tower like The Perigon are usually metal studs and gypsum board; perimeter and core walls may be concrete. Heavy work needs blocking inside a stud wall, easiest before the walls close, or anchors in concrete. Many towers use post-tensioned slabs, with steel tendons under tension in the concrete, and nobody drills one without scanning it first under the association’s rules.

Arrival, Insurance And Storms

The route, the policy, the plan.

Measure the service elevator cab and door at The Perigon against the largest crate, and ask about the loading dock, booking hours and the insurance certificate required from art handlers. A collection usually needs its own fine art policy. Before a storm, works come away from the glass; ask whether the generator serves any residential cooling. The desk asks the developer of The Perigon for the cooling and slab specifications in writing.

The Perigon: Resident only oceanfront restaurant and speakeasy, breakfast room, sunrise lounge, wine room, screening room, billiards, children's lounge, spa with treatment rooms, salon, oceanfront training room, beachfront pool with cabanas.

Hang the collection where the air is steady. The view can have the other wall.

Before You Act On Any Of This

Before you act on any of this

We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you what applies to your situation, what does not, and where we would not proceed. On this topic that means the document before the opinion. Where a question is legal, tax or structuring, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
