DESIGN & THE CITY When deciding on the properties to highlight for this issue’s real estate story on metro living (“Bright Lives, Big City), we opted to narrow things down by focusing on projects in Downtown Miami, the Biscayne Corridor, and Brickell. We then restricted the field even further by featuring luxury towers where most residences start at over half a million dollars (and in some cases go up to $50 million or more). Another requirement soon became that these buildings be as design-centric as possible: top architects, renowned designers, blue-chip brands, the works. Even with all these guidelines in place, we still had a wealth of offerings to choose from. At that point, the process became somewhat arbitrary, partly based on my editorial intuition and on what we know our readers will respond to, so we hope you enjoy reading about the final batch chosen. They are all spectacular to say the least.

I don’t have to tell you Miami real estate is a bit bonkers these days, and with prices as high as they’ve ever been, buyers are as demanding as ever. In terms of five-star vertical addresses, developers are pulling out all the stops when it comes to lifestyle amenities—on-call 24-hour everything? Expected. Limited-edition vehicle gift at closing? Yes, thank you. Roof helipad to avoid rush-hour traffic? Well, obviously! Those perks are limited to a very few, but what’s shared with Miami at large are the aesthetic contributions these properties bring to our city skyline and design scene in general thanks to collaborations with top names from all around the world. We’re talking Carlos Ott, Baccarat, Cipriani, Piero Lissoni, Adrian Smith + Gordon Hill, Robert Behar, RAMSA, and the ubiquitous Enzo Enea, whose landscape magic has and will infuse properties too numerous to mention. All this talent further solidifies Miami’s position as a design capital whose future is being written right now.

Of course, it’s not only foreigners who are pushing the city forward in that regard. Local architects, designers, artisans, showrooms, and landscape pros are also contributing to this exciting transformation, and this edition pays tribute to them as well. Join us in saluting their

TAKE IT

INSIDE

As the fall season begins to cool off other areas of the country, South Florida is just starting to heat up. Miami is a recognized hub of art and design activity known around the world thanks to events such as Art Basel, Design Miami, the Maris Raffa Experience, Art Miami, Scope, and Spectrum Miami, which transform the city at year’s end by immersing visitors and residents in community-wide showcases celebrating creativity. For our team at Florida Design Miami, this time of year refocuses our attention away from outdoor pursuits and back to the galleries, showrooms, and other such venues in the city that cater to our art and design sensibilities. It’s a dynamic time to be here to say the least.

As many of us were away for the summer, planning and building across Miami did not stop. There is more office space opening in Wynwood, a new Brightline station will soon be finished in Aventura, and the tallest residential tower south of New York is coming to Brickell. Much of this activity is highlighted in this issue, particularly in the real estate article focused on the fantastic options for highrise living going up across the city. These soaring towers push luxury to the next level with every amenity one can think of, as well as the architectural and design ingenuity we’ve come to expect from our local developers. Read it if only to indulge your escapist fantasies.

On page 142 of this edition, you will find one of our favorite indoor activities: bringing people together in the name of fine design. The Inside Out and Arthur Collection showrooms at the Design Center of Hollywood proved to be ideal locations for a cocktail party and discussion led by Allison Paladino about her product collaborations.

The event was attended by multiple members of South Florida’s design community, as well as friends and clients of the magazine.

Kudos to Associate Publisher Harvey Dana for organizing the evening.

As you consider what autumn will bring to your agenda, we hope you’re doing so while taking in a gorgeous view of our dynamic city

Hildebrand Silva Arquitetura “Ocean Vibes,” page 94

B+G Design “Life & The City,” page 112

For the Sunny Isles Beach residence at the Jade Signature tower that graces this issue’s cover, designers Heverton Silva and Eleonora Hildebrand were asked to unleash their creative powers with zero restrictions. “Our clients gave us complete freedom,” says Silva. “They simply said: ‘We want something special for every single room in the apartment.’ The end result was kind of a surprise to them. They had no idea how similar to the renderings the final design would be. They concluded that it was breathtaking.” Breathtaking is the right word for a space that makes the most of its million-dollar ocean views with contemporary design that knows when to hold back.

For partners in life and business Giselle Loor Sugerman and Brett Sugerman, their new high-rise residence at Ten Museum Park signifies a new chapter in their lives as new Miami residents. As such, they wanted design that reflected that. “The interior is a modern approach with a mix of sculptural furnishings in matte black, white, and a variety of neutral tones,” says Brett. “The mood evokes a sensual sophistication inspired by our travels.” The couple relished the opportunity to work together on something of their own. “Our favorite memory about creating this new space is that we got to plan it together,” says Giselle. “We design professionally as partners, but designing together for ourselves as husband and wife is so much more rewarding.”

Working for friends or family can be a tricky proposition, but for Brittany Farinas, collaborating with her pal and often-client Chris Paciello has become the norm. The designer has transformed multiple houses for the Anatomy fitness centers owner and their adventures in design have continually yielded happy results. That was recently the case with the North Bay Road residence in Miami Beach featured in this edition, a 1931 Spanish Mediterranean that was modernized to 2022 standards while keeping its heritage intact.

“Chris never gives directions per se, but he’s very involved in all projects,” says Farinas. “He lets me creative and I know what he likes.”

The two are already at work on a new project.

Working together with fellow designers Kurt Dannwolf and Sitki Siphai, Lachmee Chin relished the opportunity to work on a residence that defies the convention that all contemporary Miami condominiums need a less-is-more mentality. In the Chin-designed Ocean Drive apartment in this edition, more is certainly more. “The residence is very unique with exotic elements that make it a sexy and sophisticated space,” says Chin. “Working on this project was fun because it transformed from a unit that was going to be sold and into a unit that the owner fell in love with and wanted to live in. He gave us the go-ahead to create what he could only dream of. We used everything in our arsenal to achieve the unthinkable.”

When he was tapped to oversee the landscape architecture of the 15,000-squarefoot Miami home featured in this issue, Lewis Aqüi set out to create distinct alfresco spaces that guided residents and guests from one end of the property to the other. Along the way, Aqüi also provided the homeowners with various backdrops to proudly display a number of their art acquisitions. “If I must define this project, I have to say that it is a modern abstraction of nature: bold, energetic, vibrant, and enigmatic,” he says. “It’s like walking through a secret garden. It encourages people to discover, experience, and slow down their pace.”

NATURE AS INSPIRATION

The motifs and imagery of the wallcoverings by Miami-based WALL IN VOGUE are ideal for accent areas in need of a bold statement. This one here depicts the majestic palms of the Ucayali, a region of tributaries and forests in the western Amazon near Peru. Its demure gray palette is meant to appeal to more subdued tastes. “It has always been my dream to create a brand of high-end wallpaper that draws inspiration from [different places],” says company founder Fanny Auizarate. “Our wallpaper honors the world around us.” And honor never looked so chic. wallinvogue.com

European Infusion LONDON DESIGNER TARA BERNERD BRINGS HER JET-SET VIBE TO MIAMI BEACH’S NEWEST LUXURY TOWER text

LUIS R. RIGUAL

Mast Capital and Starwood are not taking any design chances with their latest residential offering in Miami Beach. The Perigon, a 17-story building that will rise at 5333 Collins Avenue, will boast the structural talents of OMA, the architecture firm founded by Pritzker winner Rem Koolhaas, as well as interiors by Tara Bernerd, the London-based designer renowned for her five-star hotels and one-percenter yachts, who recently unveiled her plans for the property. “The Perigon represents a unique opportunity to establish the next iteration of luxury living in Miami Beach,” she says. For Bernerd, that means an emphasis on ocean views, natural light, expansive terraces, and generous floor plans. Kitchens will feature custom Italian cabinetry designed by Bernerd herself, while primary baths will be outfitted in marble and dark bronze. Setting the tone for all this will be the property’s lobby where white stone flooring with a diamond pattern will mimic the above:

CURB APPEAL The new Citizen M hotel is looking to stand out in busy Brickell. The property recently made its debut and much of the buzz surrounding its opening had to do with the hotel’s art program. Impossible to miss on the structure’s façade are five vibrant murals by Miami-born artist Jen Stark that cover each side of the building with imagery inspired by bold colors, underwater sea life, and the cosmos. “I was really excited to see these two-dimensional drawings come to life as a threedimensional sculpture,” says Stark about her largest public installation to date. “When the pieces come together, it becomes sculptural.” The art moments continue inside with commissioned works by Theresa Chromati and entryway, as well as Miami-inspired artworks in all of the guestrooms. citizen.com –LRR

Design lovers who are also art collectors are often faced with the question of how to best showcase their prized artworks in a way that doesn’t relegate interior design. Avant Gallery’s new Artmosphere service can help these aesthetes find the right balance by executing design concepts that consider fine art, luxury furniture, lighting, and objets d’art equally. Artmosphere’s pros will work from Avant’s slate of artists. Their latest example?

Signature Style THREE MIAMI DESIGNERS REVEAL THE INSPIRATIONS BEHIND THEIR LATEST FURNITURE COLLECTIONS text

LUIS R. RIGUAL

FAMILY TIES A COLLABORATION WITH TOV FURNITURE ALLOWS NICOLE WHITE TO HONOR HER HERITAGE AND LINEAGE Q. Your contribution to the Voice Collection for TOV has an interesting and personal backstory. Can you tell us about it?

TOV saw a lack of collaborative opportunities being given to Black designers in the industry and stepped up to the plate to change that. It tapped six designers to develop lines and I was one of them. I hope other brands take note and offer similar opportunities.

Q. How did it work? We were asked to design anything we wanted, but it was no easy task as it took months to settle on what the pieces would be. We also went through a lot of revisions, and it was all done virtually as Covid made it impossible to meet with the team.

Q. What can you tell us about your particular collection?

Each piece in my collection is connected to my lineage.

The Enid chair is named for my maternal grandmother who turned 91 in June. She is a fashionista and I very much owe my fashion sensibilities to her. The Mavis bench is named for my paternal grandmother who died last year at the age of 98, so I’m saddened she didn’t live to see it. And lastly, the Ajani ottoman is named for my son Xavier, whose spirit embodies us all.

Designer Nicole White above: The cinnamon Enid velvet swivel chair was inspired by White’s maternal grandmother, while the Anaji ottoman was named for her son. left:

A leopard print dominates the back of the black version of the Enid velvet swivel chair.

Q. Do you have a particular favorite piece? Oh, no! That’s like asking me to choose a favorite child. I do have favorite things about each one. The unexpected leopard print on the back of the Enid chair is a surprise element if you’re viewing the chair from the front. I also like the Art Deco arches on the Mavis bench, which was inspired by a favorite brass necklace of mine, and I love the brass and fringe detail on the Ajani ottoman, which is playful and whimsical.

Q. Are these types of collaborations something you want to partake in more going forward? Absolutely! This [experience] has opened my eyes to the endless world of collaborations in the design industry and we’re excited to explore more with several brands in the future. nwdinteriors.com

EASTERN INFLUENCES JAPANESE DESIGN’S FLUID COMPLEXITY INSPIRES JUAN POGGI’S DEBUT FURNITURE COLLECTION

Q. Congratulations on your first furniture collection. What was the process like? It was… hard. First, you put your ideas together, refine them, and then, my most important rule, you have those ideas curated by someone who knows manufacturing and design and can give you the right feedback. That’s not always pleasant because our creations are our babies, but that’s the way to make it work. Luckily, I was guided by the best in the contemporary world market, Nasir Kassamali from Luminaire.

Q. What is the inspiration behind the collection? It was triggered by my travels to different parts of Japan throughout many years.

Japan awakens my senses, and not speaking the language really allows me to have a visual conversation with the elements that trigger my imagination.

Q. Do you have a favorite piece in the collection? The Oishi chair.

Oishi means delicious in Japanese and this chair is the synthesis of observing a geisha walking and noticing how pristine and clean all the elements of her garments are.

Q. What about some other pieces like the Muzo Uddo bench and the Obi sconce? With the bench, the idea was water and wood. I wanted to capture water and make volume with it. In regards to the above inset:

Designer Juan Poggi above: The Uddo chair is made of weathered wood and bronzed aluminum.

Obi, I’ve always admired the layers that go with traditional Japanese men’s clothes. An obi is a belt that holds all these layers together, and here it holds the two pieces of the fixture. The engineers at Boyd Lighting were the key people who made the fixture work.

Q. What’s next for you? I am going back to Japan in September to investigate ceramics—forms, colors, glazes—and how ceramics behave with time and elements. My agenda is always open. I only

DIAMOND STANDARD ADRIANA HOYOS’ NEW COLLECTION HONORS HANDCRAFTED ARTISTRY WITH A PRECIOUS APPROACH

ABOVE:

Inspired by Art Deco architecture, the GEM upholstered chair provides great comfort due to its ample seat.

LEFT: Designer Adriana Hoyos

Q. What’s behind the name of your latest collection, GEM? We actually find that the process of designing and crafting furniture pieces is very similar to that of making jewelry. Home is a precious thing and going into the design of this collection we wanted to celebrate and honor that by creating furniture pieces that would be like gems within the home. Going along with gemstone and jewelry design, GEM draws from Art Deco and avant-garde inspiration to provide dramatic and innovative silhouettes.

Q. What are some of the materials and fabrics used in the collection? To make the pieces stand out, we decided to utilize woods, metals, and stoneware in color palettes that include ash gray, platinum, off-white, and gunmetal to better showcase the pieces. There’s also a high-gloss finish to resemble the shine of jewels and precious metals.

Q. Tell us about the GEM ottoman. Is that the signature piece of the line? I would say so. Visually it really defines the collection by giving a clear example of the cushion-cut diamond inspiration through its beautiful stitching, which highlights its geometric silhouette.

Q. Do you have a particular favorite in the collection? It’s on the nesting cocktail tables as they have a cushion-shaped top composed of wood, stone, and metal. They can be the real star of any living space.

Q. What’s next for your company? Several new and exciting things. We are opening our fourth store in the Middle East, this time in Qatar, and a new showroom in Mexico City. We are also finalizing new introductions for GEM to drop this fall.

And we’re already working on our next collection, number 14, coming in 2023. adrianahoyos.com

FORWARD

THE FORECAST FOR THIS YEAR’S ART WEEK IS SUNNY WITH A CHANCE OF GAIN

TEXT

LUIS R. RIGUAL

Ah, the power of art and commerce. In spite of lingering pandemic worries and global inflation woes, it appears this year’s Art Week in November will exceed expectations with innovative programming, increased foot traffic, and likely record sales.

For proof, look no further than the main show. Art Basel’s recent June run in Switzerland proved it’s the leading fair of its kind for a reason. Returning to its original dates since 2019, the fair welcomed more than 70,000

Visitors at this past June’s edition of Art Basel in Basel, Switzerland

guests and hosted displays from 289 international galleries, and organizers, visitors, and participants seemed to agree that the vibe was pre-Covid positive. Business was certainly strong, with Hauser & Wirth’s sale of Louise Bourgeois’ RIGHT: Vincenzo de Bellis is Art Basel’s new director of fairs and exhibition platforms.

Spider, a giant steel sculpture, for $40 million. Galleries at this year’s upcoming Art Basel Miami Beach (Nov. 29-Dec. 3, artbasel. com) are no doubt hoping that fiscal enthusiasm makes its way to the Miami Beach Convention Center. While not many specifics about this year’s gathering had been released as of press time, eyes are peeled to see what Vincenzo de Bellis’ influence on the show will be. In July, the art world veteran was named as director of fairs and exhibition platforms, responsible for new events and initiatives. Also being watched carefully is Basel’s new edition in Paris, set to take place in October and likely to reveal more hints about what can be expected in Miami.

Another showcase poised to make a splash during Art Week is Design Miami (Nov. 30-Dec. 4, designmiami.com), the collectible design forum that never fails to impress. Programming for the 2022 edition

A visitor at last year’s Art Basel Miami Beach peruses sculptures by Kennedy Yanko at the Kavi Gupta booth

includes the exhibition “The Golden Age” overseen by Curatorial Director Maria Cristina Didero. At Design Miami’s Basel run (also this past June), said theme explored utopian futures and idealized histories by emphasizing historical objects that celebrate iconic 20th century design.

The treatment of the topic at DM’s five-day run in Miami should prove to be just as intriguing.

The metal sculpture Spider by Louise Bourgeois, seen here at the Hauser & Wirth booth at Art Basel’s 2022 Basel edition, sold for $40 million.

Of course, Art Week goes far beyond Convention Center Drive thanks to the participation of satellite fairs that set up their pavilions from Ocean Drive to Wynwood. Prime among these is Art Miami (Nov. 29-Dec. 4, artmiami.com), which returns for its 32nd year with another array of dynamic projects and installations from more than 150 galleries.

Among those are local participants such as Coral Gables’ Cernuda Arte and Miami’s Smith Davidson Gallery. The rest of the agenda was still to be finalized as this issue went to press.

So, while it’s uncertain what memorable moments this year’s Art Week will provide, we do know it will be seven days and nights unlike

by Black and Afro-Caribbean cultures, and the BLE pattern from his Caribe Miami Plis Kann/Mono wallcoverings collection.

Before he launched

his Ze Haus studio in 2020, creative Kenzie

Leon Perry learned everything he didn’t want to be while working as a designer for some rather humdrum companies.

“I was required to invent spaces that reflected uninspired brand standards and neutral palettes to appease the general consumer,” he says. “Now I thrive to incorporate bold colors and patterns inspired by the tropics in Miami and the Caribbean. I have the opportunity to explore [palettes and motifs] in ways I couldn’t before.”

That’s certainly the mantra behind Perry’s ongoing collection of wallcoverings, all of which are informed by the Black and AfroCaribbean neighborhoods and cultures of Miami, where he was born and creator’s love of bold hues and native nature, with imagery that ranges from sugarcane grasses from the Florida Everglades to chickens with headgear. (The coverings are available as peel-and-stick removable woven, non-pasted traditional pebble, and grass cloth, and can be custom colorized in certain instances.)

“The wallpapers are born out of a handpainting I create,” says Kenzie of his process.

“Once the art is complete, I digitally transpose the work to the computer and finally into a wallpaper. Simultaneously, I create a series of artworks that correspond to each wallpaper collection. Both design components complement one another and allow the designer to choose how to use them.”

Many of these drawings and paintings hang in Perry’s studio in the Design District, where he’s currently at work on his next collection, one inspired by Coconut Grove and the Bahamian population that has nurtured that neighborhood, as well as on a line of home products and an art publishing collaboration. While all differ in aesthetic and scope, color is the common “Color

MOVIE MOXIE

DESIGNER KEN FULK BRINGS A CINEMATIC SENSIBILITY TO HIS RESTAURANT SPACES IN MIAMI TEXT

LUIS R. RIGUAL

Renowned designer Ken Fulk

thinks

of himself as a storyteller of space. Much like a film director constructs new worlds with characters, dialogue, and plotlines, Fulk spins his narratives with color, texture, and details. These cinephile qualities are apparent in all his projects, particularly in his work for Major Food Group, which has yielded numerous restaurants in the U.S. and abroad. In Miami, Fulk’s auteur approach for MFG can be seen at Dirty French Steakhouse, Sadelle’s, ZZ’s Club, and Carbone, a quartet of popular and stylish eateries that are as much about cuisine as they are about ambiance.

You’ve been collaborating with Major Food Group for more than a decade now. How is that working relationship? We really are partners.

They give me a lot of leeway because we see the world through the same rose-colored lens. They all care deeply about all aspects of an experience, and realize that the restaurant experience isn’t just about what you eat. It’s about how you feel and remember the space.

What were your thoughts when the company decided to expand to Miami? It seemed like a wonderful fit, a defining moment. I’ve always been intrigued by Miami and have had this sort of romantic notion about it. It is perhaps one of the most exotic and worldly of American cities. It certainly has a cinematic quality to it.

On that point, in your new book, The Movie in My Mind, you describe how you approach much of your work like writing a movie script. Is that the case with the four MFG restaurants here? Very much so. I think all our projects in Miami exemplify us as directors of these movies. They each start as an idea pitch. For instance, with Carbone Miami I was asked to describe it and I replied: ‘It is as

come up with that specific image? I don’t know.

It’s my weird little superpower. It’s a kernel that begins the bigger ideas.

The New York Times described the original Carbone in Manhattan as a “fancy red-sauce joint as directed by Quentin Tarantino.” If that’s the case, who directed the Miami one? I would have to say Franco Zeffirelli.

Food Group is Dirty French Steakhouse. What’s the story there? That one has its own tale. It has little doses of El Morocco, this fantastical place that I never had the privilege to visit, but that I have long held as a vaulted place in my imagination for all its zebra décor. That, paired with this insane disco lounge that we created with rainbow chandeliers, [is like a] beautiful movie.

ZZ’s Club in the Design District seems to have different personalities with a Japanese restaurant on the first floor and a private club on the second. What was your overall approach there? We wanted people to have multiple experiences and for the spaces to holistically speak to one another but not be replicant, to each have their own flavor and flair and excitement.

One interesting aspect to all your Miami eateries is how reverentially you treat the bar. What’s behind that? I’ve never met a bar I didn’t love. The bar starts the lubrication for the social experiment that is a restaurant, so we pay a lot of attention to it. They’re often the first impression people have of a restaurant, and I know it’s cliché, but first impressions matter, so we give them a lot of thought.

So while they’re all rather different, what would you say is the common thread running through all four restaurants?

A pursuit of excellence. We care about storytelling, and understanding the bigger narrative really matters. That’s

what links all these places.

If you had to summarize what you do in a few words, how would you describe it? I put things together.

BACCARAT RESIDENCES MIAMI The Baccarat brand’s history dates back to 1764 when France’s King Louis XV created the studio by decree. Since then, Baccarat’s name has been synonymous with innovation and superior design.

Needless to say, expectations are high for Related Group and SH Hotels & Resorts to deliver everything a residential tower with the Baccarat moniker should be. To ensure that’s the case, the developers have enlisted a stellar team that includes Arquitectonica, Meyer Davis, and Enzo Enea for what we’re told will be a collection of flow-through residences and penthouses that will be “the embodiment of bespoke excellence.” baccaratresidencesmiami.com

ASTON MARTIN RESIDENCES When completed later this year, Aston Martin Residences will stand as the tallest residential building south of New York City, but its appeal will go way beyond height.

Equally considered are the interiors, which incorporate Aston Martin’s DNA through details (both subtle and not) and superior craftsmanship. The building’s outrageous features also have people talking. Among these is a triplex penthouse with 27,191 square feet of space spread over three floors, four levels of amenities connected by what can only be described as a monumental staircase, and buyer incentives that include an Aston Martin DB11 or DBX model included with the purchase of a Signature residence. astonmartinresidences.com

Often the first decision when it comes to design projects, flooring sets the tone and vibe of any space, much like palette and décor style do. That’s something Santiago Estevez is well aware of. The founder of Storia Flooring tackles the floor selection process in the same way art collectors consider the purchase of a painting or sculpture.

And at his new showroom in the Miami Design District, underfoot textures are treated like masterpieces.

“This is a place to feel inspired, as well as inspire others, when it comes to curating flooring solutions for a home or project,” says the Mexico City native who has spent the last four years establishing the brand’s reputation with interior designers, architects, developers, and homeowners from Golden Beach to Key Biscayne.

ARTEFACTO Famed Brazilian furnishings brand Artefacto unveils the highly anticipated Edition 2022, marking the sixth exclusive collection for Artefacto by designer Patricia Anastassiadis.

Titled Psyché—meaning breath, life, and soul—Edition 2022 draws inspiration from Greek history, culture, and architecture. The pleated and draped fabrics featured in lounge chairs, such as the Eos Chaise, contrast the carved stone and marble used in pieces such as the Delphi Coffee Table. Together, they form a union of natural materials reminiscent of Mediterranean design.

Named Designer of the Year by Casa Vogue, Anastassiadis designed Edition 2022 to convey a sense of spaciousness and functionality, while celebrating the home as host to life’s moments and memories—from working and entertaining, to relaxing and evolving. Each piece challenges conventional ideas of construction and aesthetics to embrace a simple and artistic fluidity.

“Our new collection is a beautifully curated celebration of history, home, and a cultured life,” says Paulo Bacchi, CEO of Artefacto.

Artefacto Edition 2022 debuts this month in the Coral Gables and Aventura showrooms. For more information, visit artefacto.com.

Asprea’s studio has been operating from a small row home in Tribeca and in 2021 KAS opened a second studio location in Wynwood, Miami. The studio is currently designing private estates in Connecticut, a boutique condominium in Golden Pointe, Sarasota, and larger waterfront developments in Miami and Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Bringing a wealth of design knowledge from her commercial and large-scale projects to intimate settings such as private residences, gallery showrooms, and workspaces, Asprea has created a small team of fierce design professionals with unique and interesting backgrounds, all in an effort to add value and innovation

to the design process. Asprea and her team deliver a streamlined approach to design using a curated process to bring ideas into built reality.

With prior experience working alongside some of the most sought-after architecture and design firms in New York, Asprea brings a timeless feel to each of her highly curated designs.

AS ITS FORTUNATE RESIDENTS can attest, Sunny Isles Beach is a destination that offers more than sun, surf, and sand. Home to world-class architecture, popular restaurants, and entertainment venues, the city has become one of South Florida’s most desirable locations. For a Brazilian couple seeking the ultimate vacation escape from the hectic pace in São Paulo, the town checked all the bullets on their must-have list. And after closing on a gorgeous waterfront property on the 38th floor of the tony Jade Signature tower, they wasted no time in enlisting the talents of fellow Brazilians Heverton Silva and Eleonora Hildebrand to implement the interior design on their new acquisition.

“The building’s relationship with nature, the environment, and its surroundings are at the core of its design,” says Silva of the stunning coastline structure created by the esteemed Swiss architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron. “My clients have an active social life and are also passionate art, design, and architecture enthusiasts, which highly influenced their decision to purchase this property.”

A couple in their 50s with four children, the owners sought a sublime vacation getaway where they could relax with family and friends several times a

year. The two were very precise about their expectations for the interior style of the apartment— they wanted sophisticated, contemporary design within a welcoming atmosphere.

“However, when you have a strong opponent such as the turquoise ocean views from whatever floor-to-ceiling window you look at, you realize your biggest challenge,” says Silva. “For us, it was to create a narrative that balances the views, as well as to transform the empty space into a comfortable, livable environment.”

To address this, the design team first devised a strategy for materials and palette. Silva’s primary idea was to harmonize the ocean’s blue tones with complementary colors to create visual comfort for the observer experience. He chose soft tones in opposition to the turquoise views using a beautiful set of wall timber paneling and warmtoned Italian travertine Navona marble flooring with delicate veining.

“When living in this apartment, arriving home becomes a unique experience,” says the designer.

“The elevator door opens directly to the entrance hall, surprising visitors with a striking suspended photograph by Brazilian artist Flávia Junqueira backdropped by extraordinary ocean views. The entry guides you to a welcome sitting area that articulates the formal living space and family dining room. My idea was to create a fluid and organic seating layout that immediately invites homeowners and guests to [pause] and enjoy a relaxed conversation.”

Upon entering, the strong presence of timber panels covering the columns and walls brings an intimate sense of warmth. Ten-foot floor-to-ceiling windows surround the entire living and dining area, providing vast vistas of city and ocean. The sleek walls and marble floors create a lustrous backdrop for Italian-designed furnishings that lend a high-style edge to the substantial square footage.

“We used a light warm gray as the predominant color for the fabrics,” adds Silva. “Light grayish blue and pastel earth-toned rugs set a soft, refined mood.

To create contrast, we integrated some key elements, such as the deep blue armchair between the sectionals and the stainless-steel bench by Chris Howker.

We love the concept of interjecting a piece that plays with the idea of a multipurpose object and asks the question: ‘Is this furniture or sculpture?’”

In the dining room, a blue-toned chandelier steals the show. Each piece enjoys its own shape and, in multiples, creates a sculptural display of lighting that sets a dialogue with the ocean and provides an artistic statement. The west terrace connects directly to the dining room and offers the family scenic alfresco entertaining options and a place for peaceful contemplation.

“The homeowners couldn’t be happier with their new beach haven,” notes Silva. “The cozy interiors allied with amazing views of the ocean—seamlessly bound together—and their delight in relaxing on the balconies are the features they talk about again and again every time we have the chance to ask how they are enjoying their home.” below: With open access to the balcony, the bunk bedroom was designed to accommodate the children’s holiday guests.

“I wanted to create a soft, organic, moody atmosphere with the furnishings,” says interior designer Brittany Farinas of her approach in the living room, where the round furniture offsets the angles on the floor tile.” The smokedglass pedestal is part of Farinas’ House of One furniture collection. The iron chandelier is a reference to the home’s original Spanish Mediterranean style. Here, as throughout the rest of the residence, the original tile floors were meticulously restored.

SOMETIMES, WHEN A home captures the imagination, serendipity steps in. Brittany Farinas, the founder of House of One in Miami, was redesigning a home for her friend and client Chris Paciello on Miami Beach’s North Bay Road, when another house down the street caught her eye. “Chris and I were just enamored with it,” she says.

The 1931 Spanish Mediterranean abode had been featured on a Miami postcard back in the day, reveals Paciello, and it had long been a favorite of his. When it came on the market, the Anatomy fitness centers owner didn’t hesitate and bought it. Soon thereafter, he enlisted Farinas to give it a fresh new look while still preserving its original character. Or, as Farinas puts it: “We wanted a new old feel.”

To that end, there was plenty of editing. While the residence had been expanded to a total of 5,000 square feet and said addition was impeccable and up to code, by the time Paciello and Farinas came along, it felt outdated. “It was very ornate, very Versace,” says Paciello, referencing the late fashion designer (and once Ocean Drive resident) known for his extravagant style. “It needed to be toned down.” above:

The alcove near the staircase (used as a meditation room) features original green tile floor with a mosaic border. Colorful abstract artwork by the homeowner’s brother complements the space.

below: The dining area is accessed through an arched doorway from the kitchen.

“We didn’t have to do much in here,” says Farinas. ‘We kept the beamed ceiling and floors, and then repainted and added the furniture and light fixtures.”

The kitchen was renovated and customized for modern living. Upper cabinets were replaced with open shelving, and lower cabinets were installed and painted in Sherwin Williams’ Rosemary shade. The island was stripped of its heavy, ornate countertop and replaced with a slab of vintage Calacatta marble.

Toned-down is actually a perfect way to describe the design approach. “When we first got into the house, the architectural detailing was overwhelming,” says Farinas. “There was lots of mosaic, heavy molding, and dark woods.” While some of those features, like the original tile flooring, were left in place, many others came out in favor of more contemporary materials.

Although no structural changes were made to the house, there was plenty of tedious sanding and painting, and as walls and ceilings were smoothed out, the removal of layers revealed a pleasant surprise. “After sanding for about a week, we found that the original installer had signed his work and dated it 1931,” says Paciello. “We left that up there.”

One space that needed little work was a room tucked away near the interior circular staircase, almost hidden from view. “It used to be an office,” says Paciello, “but I saw it as a quiet space for meditation.” Farinas opted to preserve the original green tile with inlaid mosaic, but lightened the room with paint and design selections. The tones and shapes in an acrylic abstract painting

by Keith Paciello (Chris’ brother) solidify the room’s intent.

After redesigning four homes together, it’s clear designer and homeowner have found their stride. “Chris never gives directions per se, but he’s very involved in all projects,” says Farinas, who’s currently working on two other houses owned by Paciello. “We work through

Black and white tones in the primary bedroom give it a tailored, masculine look. “This is Chris’ aesthetic,” says Farinas. The bedroom also features a seating area with a double-sided fireplace.

the details together, walk through each room, throw out ideas, and then I come back with renderings. He lets me be creative and I know what he likes: a tailored, masculine, minimalist design.”

For his part, Paciello has become savvy about design and construction after some 20-plus years of operating nightclubs, restaurants, and gyms, and renovating multiple Spanish Mediterranean homes like this one. “I’ve always loved the style, and that’s perhaps because I used to live in southern California, and it reminds me of Old Hollywood. I guess I’m an old soul,” he says. “True Spanish Mediterranean never goes out of style, so when you renovate it’s a fine line of what you leave and what you don’t.”

right: After gutting the powder room, Farinas redesigned it with a custom vanity in the same Calacatta marble as the kitchen countertops, new tile floors, and panels on the wall opposite the mirror.

“There are three panels on the wall, so when you look in the mirror, you see perfect symmetry behind your reflection,” says the designer.

White oak flooring in a herringbone pattern was installed to add visual interest. The cabinets are walnut slats of wood, which mirror a walnut-slatted accent wall in the bedroom seating area.

LIFE & THE CITY TWO DESIGN PROS TRADE WATERSIDE LIVING IN FORT LAUDERDALE FOR A HIGHIMPACT RESIDENCE IN THE MIAMI SKY

interior design GISELLE LOOR SUGERMAN & BRETT SUGERMAN, B+G DESIGN, MIAMI, FL text JEANNE DELATHOUDER photography KRIS TAMBURELLO, MIAMI FL

IT WASN’T WITHOUT SOULFUL reflection that Giselle Loor Sugerman and Brett Sugerman made the resolute decision to uproot their Fort Lauderdale home and embrace high-rise living in downtown Miami. The husband-and-wife team behind B+G Design took the plunge for multiple reasons when they found themselves as new empty-nesters. With their two sons off to college and more work commitments in Miami-Dade, they envisioned a fresh beginning.

“It made sense for us to be in Miami,” says Brett. “Our business is gravitating here, and all the action happens here. Plus, our strategic location grants us access to the city’s hot spots, including the Miami Design District, where we opened our new office.”

In the spring of 2021, the couple set up residence at Miami’s Ten Museum Park, a luxury condo development designed by award-winning architect Chad Oppenheim. Prized for its clean, minimalist aesthetic, the building’s overall apartment design is a complete departure from Brett and Giselle’s former home, a above:

Custom crafted in black rift oak, the living room’s streamlined built-in cabinetry provides optimal storage for the couple’s new pared-down lifestyle.

Reflections of a slender figure sculpture by Robert Graham and other wellcurated pieces on the mirror-backed display shelves afford a double dose of visual impact.

1970s contemporary coastal residence with an elaborate private pool terrace and extraordinary water views. Their new 1,802square-foot abode takes a more pareddown approach with a mix of sculptural furnishings in matte black, white, and a diversity of neutral tones and natural materials. The mood evokes a European sophistication inspired by their travels.

“Scaling down from a single-family home requires expert space planning, which is our specialty,” says Giselle. “An apartment can live and feel as big as a traditional home. You must plan and prioritize every inch of real estate, but it is achievable. We maximized storage, concealed cabinetry, and remodeled the condo into a captivating residence that leaves a grand impression.”

The two reimagined their interiors and took high risks knowing they would reap an even higher reward. Apart from the shell of the staircase, they stripped the original apartment and remodeled every inch. The creative process took them on a journey to balance functional minimalism with their personal taste. They fashioned a polished contemporary style by incorporating textured fabrics, lustrous marble, and Parisian-style moldings, and selected decorative accents that expressively characterized their intent.

Now, a modern entry foyer provides the first encounter with the couple’s striking black color palette, an interior scheme not often associated with Miami. They partnered with Snaidero in Hollywood and gutted their standard kitchen to design a custom ultra-matte black cooking/dining

area that plays a significant role in the design narrative. In the adjacent living area, a wall of custom cabinetry highlights the sweeping double-height space that mesmerizes at night as the city lights glow in the distance.

“A common issue people face when downsizing is where to store seasonal items,” says Brett. “We knew that building vertically would accommodate our needs.”

At the top of the glass-paneled staircase, the couple’s bedroom sanctuary is the crown jewel of the residence. A massive black four-poster bed takes center stage, and comforting amenities resonate with a luxurious resort-style vibe.

“Our favorite memories about creating this new space are getting to plan it together,” says Giselle. “We design as partners, but designing together for ourselves as husband and wife is even more rewarding.”

THE TEAM AT ODP Architecture and Design doesn’t take anything at face value. When recently tackling a high-rise residence in South Beach, designers Lachmee Chin, Kurt Dannwolf, and Sitki Sipahi were determined to give their client a backdrop that would move him, so there’s no detail (from layout to surfaces to ornamentation) that wasn’t scrupulously considered. Case in point: The chandeliers in the main living areas of the condo. “We designed them so they look like rustling leaves

blown by the wind from the Leda painting into the living room and then the dining room,” says Chin.

The two lit works of art were made in the Czech Republic from a combination of hand-blown glass in three colors and were meant to resemble leaves as they were transported from one space to the next. The installation is but one example of the multilayered ODP touch.

As a result, the interiors feel as if they are in motion—from the patterns in the gleaming Macassar ebony and Movingui wood surfaces to the geometric motifs in the embossed wallpaper. This was calculated, as were the highly considered equations Sipahi employed to extrapolate a feature wall that divides the living space from the office. “It was a dance of mathematics,” he says. “The starting point was a formula that defines the fine curve—we took the concept and made something beautiful to look at. The method may seem simple, but if you ask a mathematician, it is very complex.”

above:

The entry, where the dynamic niches are framed in the same ebony Macassar wood as the cabinetry throughout most of the condominium, holds two paintings and a sculpture from the owner’s collection. The tufted wall is made of vegan leather.

Every room in the residence looks out onto dynamic vistas, which drove the choice of the chandeliers, as the team at ODP wanted whimsical fixtures that wouldn’t hinder the views.

The painting depicting the myth of Leda in the living room guided much of the color palette for each of the main living spaces. The wall behind the art is covered in a textured wallpaper, and the floating shelves and low storage cabinet are made of Movingui wood. The Oasis cocktail ottoman is covered in pale shagreen, and the purple accent chair echoes similar rich pops of the color in the condo.

The headboard wall in the primary bedroom suite divides the space. On the reverse side, it is fitted with drawers to provide storage. The headboard fabric is Chatham velvet by Zimmer + Rohde. The large Siam chandelier by Bover crowns the room.

The painting in the living room, a modern rendition of the Leda myth, inspired the color palette, as did the fact that purple is the homeowner’s favorite color. Everything in the Ocean Drive home is custom, and the interior architectural elements were designed to frame walls holding art and enhance views, which span the horizon lines in all directions. “Each residence in this building encompasses an entire floor,” notes Chin. “There is a three-and-a-half-sided balcony, so you could almost do laps around the building. In fact, the 2,043-square-foot outdoor area is almost equal in size to the 2,949-square-foot interior.”

The desired vibe for visitors to feel the moment they set foot in the home is “let me entertain you,” although there’s nothing superficial about the backdrop. “We wanted the interiors to have substance,” says Chin, “so we chose rich materials and Art Deco references that are far from stereotypical.”

“[In this outdoor space], the dining room is centered on one half of the koi pond,” says Portuondo, “and the living room off the other. A lot of center lines reinforce the architecture. It has its roots in pure classicism in terms of the organization of the plan.”

below: One of landscape architect Lewis Aqüi’s so-called “mementos,” this seating area is located near the kitchen and wine cellar. The freestanding wall mimics the home’s exterior architecture and serves as a brutalist backdrop.

WHEN A COUPLE OF WELL-KNOWN Miami entrepreneurs decided to build a 15,000-squarefoot home catering to their passion for cooking and entertaining, they knew the outdoor square footage needed to be treated as thoughtfully as the indoor space. For that, they would need the ideal team on their side. After some research, the winning trio for the project emerged: architect Rafael Portuondo, project manager Jorge Landa, and landscape master Lewis Aqüi. All three were equally enamored with the residence and its exterior potential.

“It’s what I call modern classicism,” says Portuondo. “[The house] has the bone structure of a classical [structure], but with a modern vocabulary.” right: The home’s austere concrete shell is balanced by palms and other plant life. Originally, the landscape architecture called for water curtains with water jets, but the homeowners and landscaping team opted for bubblers instead.

Hidden inside the sunken grotto is a fire pit wrapped in Dominican coral.

“The fire pit is the terminus at the back of the property,” explains Aqüi. “It’s the centerline of the fish pond and the water lily pond. Everything is aligned.”

The residence’s two outdoor structures have been used for everything from guest quarters to art storage space and even a classroom during the pandemic. Dominican coral was used for the hardscape to give the property a warm quality.

Aqüi, a Miami-based landscape architect who has more than three decades of experience transforming green spaces throughout Florida and the Caribbean, knew he had latched on to something special when he saw the parcel’s architectural plans. He wanted to ensure the homeowners felt that as well by providing them with scenery of the vegetation from every room indoors. “The house has a lot of glass,” he says, “and you can see the garden from every point inside.”

Avid collectors of South American, Caribbean, and Asian art, the homeowners threw another must Aqüi’s way when they asked him to incorporate many of their cherished acquisitions in various strategic alfresco spots. Plus, with two new babies in tow, they wanted spaces with distinct personalities and purposes. “I had to design the garden to be looked at and be interactive,” says Aqüi. “Double duty.”

Covered by the home itself, this expansive outdoor entertaining space is often used for large gatherings.

Ocean blue basalt stone, with contrasting oyster cream limestone bands, frames the pool area.

For his part, and because the lot is much narrower than it is deep, Portuondo proposed various zones, starting with the auto court at the very front. Anchored by a baobab tree, the layout of the court’s parking pads hints at the linear nature of the home itself, yet a giant stone sculpture off to the side also suggests the surprise elements that are to come.

Guests first enter the home by walking past a watery basin with a welcoming committee of koi (which half come out of the water as if to greet them) in a pond marked by a bronze sculpture and a living green wall. Shortly after comes the front door and then views of a middle courtyard with a pool, hardscaped in porous materials and shaded by the home’s second story. Aqüi says that seeing how the light hit the various parts of the property informed his material and plant selections: “I did a study of angles. When the house comes out of the ground, that’s when things change.”

Directly across from the pool and in close proximity to the home’s indoor and outdoor kitchens is a loggia with seating that can easily be rearranged for evening cocktails or intimate dining. Located at the tip of what would be a perfect triangle with the loggia and pool area as the base is a serene lily pond anchored with a black metal sculpture. “I proposed a transitional element [to give the area] a soft look and character,” says Aqüi. “It’s like a mirror, a vanishing point, and the house is reflected in the water.” A path from here ends in front of two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) sitting behind lush foliage. “Overall,

the garden is organized and symmetrical to go with the architecture, which is austere,” says Aqüi. “This part is more organic.” Steps from here, overlooking a sunken seating area with a firepit, are examples of the plant life used throughout the property: coconut, old man, and ruffled fan palms, and philodendron Burle Marx among them, all of which were carefully chosen by the landscape architect together with the homeowners at various nurseries throughout Homestead.

“I try to use every single inch of a property for the creation of outdoor living spaces, which I call mementos,” says Aqüi. “In this home, those took the form of the water features, the lily pond, the sunken grotto… a sequence of spaces that lead you from one to the next.

It’s like walking through a secret garden. It encourages people to discover, experience, and slow down their pace.”

right and below: Two views of the lily pond, one of the landscape architecture’s most cherished features.

“The lily pond softened that corner of the property architecturally,” says Aqüi, “and the sculpture becomes the focal point of the main rear courtyard.”

SET IN STONE DESIGNER BLANCA WALL FINDS BEAUTY IN CERAMIC IMPERFECTION text

LUIS R. RIGUAL

THE DESIGNER: Blanca Wall is the head and founder of The Wall Studio, a Miami-based interior design firm that draws on its founder’s Swedish heritage to deliver interiors with an atelier’s touch.

THE OBJECT: The Raku Yaki coffee table by Emmanuelle Simon honors the wabi-sabi aesthetic of that subjects ceramic to extreme heat and rapid cooling to cause surface variations on the glaze of the stone.

The piece is composed of a dramatic ring of travertine surrounding a grouping of ceramic cylinders featuring a distinctive crackled finish.

IN HER WORDS: “This is a beautiful example of introducing art as furniture. The table’s understated elegance and artisanal quality offer a great illustration of the wabi-sabi philosophy. I love the honesty in the material, the soothing textures, and the natural hues. It’s imperfectly perfect.” wall-studio.com; studiotwentyseven.com
