A New Era in Single-Family Design with Delivery of World's First WELL-Certified Home

In the heart of Miami’s Silver Bluff neighborhood, an architectural marvel stands as a testament to innovation and a healthier future. Caplow Manzano, a visionary architect-developer firm based in Miami, has unveiled CM1—the world’s first certified WELL Residence. This pioneering achievement, recognized by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), underscores the firm’s dedication to creating homes that prioritize the health and well-being of their residents.

Caplow Manzano’s CM1 is not just a home; it’s a revolution in residential design. Achieving the first-ever certification under the WELL for residential standard, CM1 exemplifies how homes can be built to support human health and well-being. This certification is a rigorous, evidence-based, and third-party verified process, and Caplow Manzano's success places them at the forefront of a global movement toward healthier living environments.

At 2662 SW 32nd Ct., CM1 introduces “hypostruction,” an innovative construction method that utilizes resilient and sustainable materials. This approach features removable paneled walls, non-toxic finishes, elevated floor slabs, solar power, and accessible plumbing. By eliminating traditional building strategies like drywall and air conditioning ducts, which often harbor dust and mold, CM1 ensures a healthier indoor environment free from common allergens and toxins.

Perched high above the street in the up-and-coming Silver Bluff area, CM1 is strategically designed to withstand the challenges posed by climate change. Its elevated position ensures resilience against sea level rise and future storm surges, making it a future-proof investment. The 2,595 square-foot home is now listed for $2.6 million with Danny Hertzberg of The Jills Zeder Group, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of groundbreaking residential innovation.
