miami penthouse
2017 | Miami, Florida, USA
This light-filled Miami penthouse is the home of a client who sold her previous home of 30 years to upgrade to a more comfortable lifestyle. Having explored all the options to create the best lay-out for the this 150m2 space, a rigorous re-design and renovation followed to transform the dark and cramped rooms. The result is a spacious, open plan space that allows for a comfortable single life but also has ample space for guests and grandchildren.
Our client wanted a home that felt contemporary and fresh, and expressed a desire to leave behind all her old furniture and interior pieces to start from scratch with a blank slate. A new wood look tile floor and white custom built kitchen with brass detailing set the tone for a fresher look & feel and this was a beautiful base for the furniture sourcing that followed. A mix of new and vintage pieces primarily from local suppliers makes the home feel lived in, yet contemporary. The attention to detail throughout, is second to none. A custom built in cabinet in the dining area provides generous storage and a place to display precious personal belongings. The stunning lamp above ties the space together with the dining table and chairs.
Evident in the furniture, lighting and fabric choices, ‘European cool meets Miami beach’ every step of the way. This project truly marries the best of two continents and design styles - timeless and layered, as well as considered and functional, it is in its execution, exactly what Avenue Design Studio stands for.
