Project Description
This warm, elegant home is located on a deep and relatively narrow lot in Miami, which created an opportunity to develop a series of open courtyards through which nature’s beauty could be appreciated from every focal point, while also creating a sense of privacy and tranquility for the family.
There is a strong visual connection to nature throughout the home which starts before visitors cross the threshold as they float above water through the first courtyard and into a beautiful height and a half space. Reflecting the abode’s abundant light, metallic accents shimmer throughout this space, especially in bold chandeliers that take advantage of the high ceilings.
As avid design aficionados, the owners wanted our team to curate pieces in harmony with the home’s natural framework. They favored furnishings and decor with clean silhouettes attuned to the streamlined architecture: the gently curved sofas, rounded tables, and area rugs with angular patterns. Soft, neutral browns and creams paired with wood grain and deeply veined stone attest to the tropical modern architecture. Additional saturated hues come courtesy of their art collection, including a painting in the office by iconic Miami artist Purvis Young.
Each space is a unique work of art, with a pop that gives it the quality of a gallery, perfectly balancing earthy shades with the lush green foliage that pours in through expansive windows. Corridors leading to both the private and service areas bring further meditative opportunities to enjoy nature expressed in the four courtyards as you transition between spaces.
Inspired by a refined elegance where embellishments are tempered by natural elements and relaxed comfort, this home feels effortlessly yet undeniably chic.
