When the landscape speaks for itself and all that remains is to weave a comfortable and serene housing plan.
Two apartaments merged into a single home for a family of six, who sought a retreat close to their beach-side roots. Miami Beach was the ideal choice providing the mwworks studio with the opportunity to strategically configure this apartment of over six thousand square feet, set in a residential tower block overlooking the Atlantic hues of Florida.
The architectural design and interior design were implemented in a restrained manner, with tactile aspects and neutral tones, including hints of dark woods. The intention was to convert the home into a canvas on which the coastal environment could display its many configurations and variations of light throughout the day. One of the most striking features of this home is the use of black limba panels on the floors, walls, ceilings and window and door frames. This African tropical wood was personalised with a finish that accentuated its rich colour and deep grooves, lending an unusual and sophisticated look to the ambience.

The master suite features a detail that pays tribute to a major trip by the owner to the Orient. Instead of a traditional mosaic tile, the headboard – separating the main room from the bathroom – was designed with a bas-relief finish.
