Sensing something special about this mid-century modern home, the new owners of this 4,200-square-foot residence in Miami sought to preserve the history and essence of the building while improving the experience. The result is a thoughtful renovation that respects the architectural identity and memory of the house’s past with a design that aligns with the house’s aesthetics and enhances its magic.
A 5-bedroom, 3-bath private residence with only two previous owners, the project began as an engineering consultation and evolved into a considerate enhancement that responds to the needs of those who live in the home. In liu of a modern renovation, we sought to improve upon some of the home’s winning features while personalizing and enhancing the living experience and functionality for a contemporary family.
The design celebrates the home’s origins with a contemporary perspective, creating a ’70s-era hedonistic disco-luxe style interior with a desert palette that hearkens to Palm Springs-style modern design. The renovation establishes an interior that enhances the home’s aesthetics while comfortably incorporating the homeowners’ modern furniture pieces and materials in a mid-century structure.
Design elements and materials throughout the home were chosen to visually support the historic architecture. Organic shapes, arched doorways, geometric details, and a warm desert color palette of pink, rust, and sand create a comfortable, luxe space for the residents.
