Miami Beach · Building profile

Ocean House’s reinvention of the former Walburne Hotel

Ocean House at 125 Ocean Drive is the condominium previously recorded as South of Fifth Condo. Studio Ramirez describes its interior intervention as a combination of preservation and reinvention of the former 1946 Walburne Hotel, with a reworked grand staircase and a deliberately discreet reception area. That history is useful when comparing the building’s different spaces and renovation responsibilities. Review the specific residence’s plan and current common-area program; original design intentions do not guarantee today’s staffing or services.
