Poject Details
Built as a second home, this Florida condominium’s design is an expression of its warm Latin-influenced setting. The materials used in the design, take their cues from Miami’s extensive beaches; limestone flooring becomes beach sand, integrally colored curved walls are like red coral, and their curved shapes are like giant seashells. The curves allow space to flow freely through the modestly-sized apartment and the reddish finish, used for the curved walls, help to visually draw one into and through the space.
