Palm Court is a pedestrian mall in the Miami Design District. It was designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto and Aranda/Lasch and it takes its name from the 50 palm trees surrounding a 7,000 square foot plaza that is an event space used for private functions, fashion shows, and music events. Influenced by Miami's unpredictable weather and sudden rain stores, Fujimoto created two levels of shops that all face the plaza. Long thin sections of blue glass were attached vertically to the facade around the store fronts and they are intended to evoke the image of rain. The glass also creates a kind of curtain that partially encloses the corridors in front of the stores on both floors which Fujimoto calls "small streets". About the design Fujimoto said ""My inspiration was the strong sunshine and the rainfall showers, and to try to integrate them together to create these kind of crystallized showers of sunlight. This is the first for me to use glass not as a window, but more like a half-object to create the architectural space and the first time for me to use color as well." Fujimoto ususally works in white but after visiting Miami he thought that blue would be a more cooling color. The shops lining the courtyard are the type high end designer stores I could never afford selling expensive jewelry and watches. Fendi has a store here as does Pucci, Bvlgari and Piaget. While I don't buy it is still fun to people watch and window shop. If you are looking for food or a drink you can visit the MIA Market, Itamae, Baccarat Boutique BBar & Lounge, and Madlab Creamery. There are also carts and tables set up everywhere selling alcoholic beverages and treats. There is a very nice public restroom next to Baccarat. What I love most about Palm Court however is the art. In the center of the court is geodesic done called Buckminster Fuller's Fly Eye Dome. If you park in the garage you come up through the dome into Palm Court. On the second floor is a giant bust of Modernist architect Le Corbusier who uses the ground as his drawing board. My favorite place to relax In Palm Court is in the web of hanging chairs by German designer Konstantin Grcic that are in front of the MIA Market. Palm Court is an innovative and eye catching destination in the Design District where art, food, architecture, and fashion all come together under Miami's sweltering skies.

It is super high end shopping mall with artsy set up.Gets crowded although I visited during holidays. Unless you have $$$$ to spend get ready for window shopping.During Covid most stores have line outside and you need to wait to get in.

Palm Court is the perfect event space in the Miami Design District to host fashion shows, private dinners and music performances. The 7,000 sq. feet palm-dotted plaza, which features significant architecture by Sou Fujimoto and Aranda/Lasch along with public art installations by Konstantin Grcic, Matthew Richie and Xavier Veilhan, all enhance the open-air experience of your event.

I love the Palm Court! How amazing that we get to see some legends on this stage. A great idea for a public space and it's usually always packed on a Froday. You can grab drinks or food from the surrounding restaurants including ice cream, The Estefan Kitchen, St. Roche food hall and more!

First I'll start by saying that this is a SUPER EXPENSIVE shopping area; it is not for those without cash unless you are window shopping! This is a fairly new designed location in the Miami Design District; less than a year old as of the date on this post. This is a beautiful outdoor shopping "mall" area with all the expensive and well known brand names everyone knows around the world from Fendi, Armani, Dior, Bvlgari, Vesace, Balenciaga, Gucci, etc... I don't come here to shop. I come here for the sheer beauty of the architecture and design of everything from the parking garage, walkways, to every building that a store is planted in. It is AMAZING! I do come here for the St. Roch Market food which is so tasty; my favorites are Tran An for their ramen and phô and the Sabal coffee shop for their coffee and tea. There's a beautiful swing area covered by a vine canopy which is so relaxing (when people aren't letting their kids act crazy, pushing the swings dangerously and wildly.... doesn't happen for long, but everytime I've been here it happens at least once). There's a nice outdoor eating area for the restaurants on the first floor as well as a small one for the 2nd floor, but there is indoor seating for the 2nd floor. The parking lot has a stairway that leads STRAIGHT UP INTO Palm Court, into an artistic, architectural art piece, with complimentary, borrow umbrellas if it's rainy! This is a great hangout spot to come dressed in your best and just hang out!

Went for a concert in the Palm Court Performance series and was not disappointed! I had not seen the design district recently, and boy was I surprised. We stood up on the 2nd level to watch the show, which was nice because it was less crowded but still a great view. Can't turn down a free concert!
