The heart of Miami draws tens of thousands of young business men and women who want to work, live, and play in upscale buildings that provide every amenity. One of my long time NY clients called me looking for investment property, and we found a one bedroom apartment in one of the most sought after buildings in Miami.

As a rental apartment, we wanted a neutral design scheme without looking bland. Since the 20' high walls are white, and the kitchen cabinetry is wood, we decided on black - white - walnut brown as the primary color palette with red as the accent.

The only "problem", if you can call it that, was working with the 20' ceilings which visually throws the rooms out of proportion. Using layered lighting, mirrors, artwork, and the color scheme, the solution for each area came easily. You'll read about each as you leaf through the photos.

Although the apartment is not complete, you'll get an excellent idea of where we're going. And I'll bet you that we get the place rented before we're finished.
