I have never heard of John Pawson.

Ian Schrager’s Residences at the Miami Beach Edition, being built with Marriott at the former Seville Hotel at 25th Street and Collins. Mr. Schrager said prices for 26 condo residences would average about $3,000 a square foot, which would be a record for a new development in Miami.

He and the architect John Pawson have designed 26 residences that will sit atop two towers on the beach: the old Seville and a new mixed hotel-condo building with a separate lobby and elevator for condo residents. Mr. Schrager himself is buying a three-bedroom apartment.

The residences will feature terraces that are like outdoor rooms, with hot tubs and kitchens. The priciest apartment, a triplex, is selling for $18 million. It has 4,000 square feet of indoor space, and 3,000 square feet of outdoor space that includes a 40-foot private swimming pool with sunrise and sunset views.

Marriott also hired Mr. Schrager to give the hotel the flair he is known for. There will be a Studio 54-like nightclub, a skating rink with fire and water lighting effects, and a bowling alley “on L.S.D.,” he said.
