They believe that a home is the stage on which you live your life and therefore the architecture, the interior design, the arrangement of each space, the furnishings and the even the accessories should speak much more about who you are and not so much about who you might wish to be. The art the Taylors practice so expertly is knowing how to set that stage so that it welcomes family and friends authentically, so that is offers its inhabitants a palpable sense of their past as well as the possibilities for their future, and that it resonates with the music of laughter and the aroma of hospitality; that it offers comfort of security, and a refuge to enjoy some of the simple luxuries of life. William a fifth generation Floridian, and Phyllis a native New Yorker, founded their namesake Architecture and Interior Design firm on the shores of Miami Beach in 1983. Their offices are located in a vintage "Spanish-Deco" bungalow in the heart of historic South Beach. Together they create award winning and widely published projects throughout South Florida as well as the Caribbean. While confirmed stylistic "Pluralist", the Taylors always strive to infuse their work with an appreciation of the indigenous elements of the climate, the water, and the carefree ambience of the tropics. Their work is regularly featured in national as well as regional media of all types. They are currently creating a mountain top retreat in North Carolina, a major oceanfront estate, and apartments in many of Miami's prestigious towers. The Taylors are excited about their newly released book "Classic Florida Style: The Homes of Taylor & Taylor". ### Services Provided - Color Consulting - Floor Plans - Custom Bathroom Vanities - House Plans - Closet Design - 3D Rendering - Custom Bookcases - Holiday Decorating - Energy-Efficient Homes - Green Building - Remodeling - interior design ### Areas Served - florida - USA ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Taylor & Taylor, Inc. | | Address | 2200 NW 2ND AVE.

ESTEBAN ARCHITECTURE & PLANNING, Sept. 2015** > We are the Architect of Record for The Ibis House, named after the University of Miami mascot. Taylor & Taylor were hired as the Interior Designer. They were very instrumental to this job. We worked together through the entire process of design and construction. Phyllis has a keen eye to details and her team is very professional on everything that they do. I strongly recommend them and I look forward to working with her on future jobs, > > Jorge L. Esteban A.I.A., > Accolade Architecture LLC **★★★★★ — Catalfamo Flooring, March 2015** > We recently had the privilege of supplying Taylor and Taylor with materials for one of their projects. What a pleasure it was, and how professional the staff is. We hope this will be the first of many endeavors. > > Sincerely, > Gerard > Catalfamo Gallery **★★★★★ — Splat Paint and Design, March 2013** > I have been working with Taylor and Taylor for the past 6 or 7 months or so on a large project in the Tampa Bay Area. They have done an amazing job transforming a huge 'blank canvas' into an incredibly unique and inviting home for a very discerning family. T and T encourages a team effort and empowers everyone around them. They gave our firm basic ideas of what they wanted and then allowed us to use our own creativity and skills to help them achieve their vision. They are extremely professional, forward thinking and genuinely warm people. It's been an absolute pleasure working along side them. Can't wait to see what the future has in store. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a full service design team! **★★★★★ — erikarjw, March 2013** > Taylor and Taylor are a hugely talented, pleasant and professional full design firm. I can recommend their services without qualification. We are just completing our 5th project with this firm, and I can still gladly recommend their services. Our projects have been complex, and Taylor and Taylor has shown their ability to work well with all the players, as well as manage the budget. Phyllis understands our personal style very well, and has never disappointed us! She really listens to her clients, gets to know not just what they like and are drawn to, but why. This deeper understanding of her clients allows her to create environments that truly express the clients taste in the absolute best and most beautiful way! > Our home is truly a reflection of us and our vision, and I couldn't be happier with the end result. **Comment from Taylor & Taylor, Inc.:** > Wow, thanks erikarjw for such a wonderful and supportive review of our firm! We are honored to be collaborating with you and your family again, and on making your new home the best one yet ! **★★★★★ — britom, March 2013** > The Taylor and Taylor Partnership, is a complete architectural and interior design company with the most talented professionals. > The company is based on loyalty to each client and is always trying to please them and give them their dream home. **★★★★★ — ddeisenberg, March 2013** > Taylor and Taylor came to my home out of state to see my African collection to use as the core of my decor. From there, they made a magnificent backdrop to show off my work in a comfortable, low maintenance design. Their genius is in how they make every room a work of art and still maintain continuity with other rooms, so there is a view from every room into the next. They find top-quality woodworkers to build custom-designed built-ins and interesting drop-down grid ceilings to hide the lighting and allow full use of the 11-foot high glass windows to preserve the view. The large wood floor was designed in a way to add a dimension to the rooms but not take away from the other architectural designs. > My only negative is one that most homeowners have. It cost too much and took too long. This I knew would probably happen in advance and because I am so happy in the end, my memories of those tough times seem to disappear. > They have quality staffers who were always helpful when I could not talk to the designer right away. > If there are more questions, I am happy to respond. ## Selected projects - [A LIFE WELL LIVED](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-life-well-lived-pj-vj~2246056) - Location: Miami, FL - Photos: 11 - Description: This is the third collaboration, Taylor & Taylor have with Dr. Shalala; two university president’s homes came first. “Now we’re doing this penthouse that overlooks Biscayne Bay, and it will be completely and personally Donna.” Filled with angles, the original layout of the condominium was a challenge. Architect William Taylor began by drawing a kind of “hurricane” diagram in the middle of the floor plan. “We needed something as a focal point, pulling away from some of the rooms that were more tr… - [HAMMOCK HOUSE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hammock-house-pj-vj~1726150) - Location: Coral Gables, FL - Photos: 9 - Description: As creative as architects are, they seem to run out of interesting things to say by the time they have to name a project to put it on a title block. Therefore, homes most typically get named by their architect after his or her client. But, with this home, I had the good fortune to be working on a very secluded and aptly named street hidden deep in the jungles of old Coral Gables, “Hammock Drive”. Hence the name…”Hammock House”. The ease with which the name came to me belies the intrinsic appropr… - [ECLECTIC CONDO](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eclectic-condo-pj-vj~1781214) - Location: Miami Beach, FL - Photos: 10 - Description: We wanted to give our client a different type of getaway (vacation home) inspired by the Magic City. We combined the sexiness of urban Miami with its historic Deco style, we imagined a fantasy high gloss Yacht lifestyle for the Great Gatsby in Miami. Infused with sleek exotic woods and shiny metal with punches of Electric Blues. Working with the building’s layout we designed a floor to ceiling blue glass panel screen strategically placed to cover a sharp corner right as you enter the condo. The… - [APARTMENT IN THE SKY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/apartment-in-the-sky-pj-vj~172245) - Location: Coral Gables, FL - Photos: 7 - Description: The centerpiece of this dramatic 25th floor penthouse is its view of the entire southern half of Biscayne Bay. The shimmering view stretches from Key Biscayne all the way down to Key Largo. The penthouse apartment itself is equally expansive, comprising over 5,000 square feet with impressive 11 foot tall ceilings. The homeowner, a former journalist who has traveled extensively, amassed a collection of objects and art from around the globe, including an array of African and Japanese pieces. The T… - [NAUTICAL HOME NEAR KEY WEST](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nautical-home-near-key-west-pj-vj~564958) - Location: Key West, FL - Photos: 19 - Description: The very definition of a place to escape, this house on a private island near Key West is accessible only by private launch with access from a private beach. It’s a two story Key West style cottage with clapboard siding, gingerbread ornament and mahogany trim. We were asked to renovate the existing house and make it brighter and more open. The challenge was that the owners of the house had tired of “Key West Casual”. The end product was a certain Southern formality that is part Charleston and pa… - [BLOWING ROCK](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blowing-rock-pj-vj~1782458) - Location: Blowing Rock, NC - Photos: 12 - Description: Blowing Rock North Carolina which should be featured in some manner that exploits the fact the we are again expanding outside of our Florida base. A blurb for that new project could read as follows: “Stone Crest” is very aptly named because it is literally perched on top of the most prominent ridge, high above the quaint village of Blowing Rock, North Carolina. The existing residence was almost doubled in size to accommodate a large South Florida family for summer and autumn holidays. The homes… - [IBIS HOUSE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ibis-house-pj-vj~867524) - Location: Coral Gables, FL - Photos: 15 - Description: The Ibis House, named after the University of Miami’s tropical bird mascot, is the home of their President. The home is suited for both personal and the university’s needs; therefore, the structure needed to feel both intimate and welcoming; as hundreds of people are entertained there each week. The site is a native hammock of abundant oaks and exotic tropical plant specimens. A U –shaped plan was developed with two wings that splay to create an open courtyard and house eighteen rooms. Arriving… - ["CLASSIC COASTAL" STYLE HOME](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-coastal-style-home-pj-vj~564984) - Location: Orlando, FL - Photos: 11 - Description: This home is on the shore of one of the numerous inland lakes that dot Central Florida near Orlando - Lake Butler - and the nightly fireworks display at Walt Disney World is visible from the patio. The interiors reflect formal English style, but lightened and brightened. It serves as a family of five's primary residence and so needs a measure of livability. The walls and details are all made of textured stucco exuding the ambiance of Bermuda. And with this home we began to develop our "classic c… - [A TROPICAL HOME](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-tropical-home-pj-vj~564979) - Location: Miami Beach, FL - Photos: 16 - Description: This Fisher Island home has a one of a kind setting. Its views extend across an exquisitely landscaped golf course to views of the Atlantic Ocean and the southern tip of Miami Beach. Our goal was to turn this grand fifteen room house into a true home that luxuriates in the crisp, compelling bright colors of the tropics. Conceptually this project was like a townhouse with a central court that introduces light into the center of the structure. - ["INHERITABLE" FAMILY HOME](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/inheritable-family-home-pj-vj~564968) - Location: Fort Lauderdale, FL - Photos: 18 - Description: Our clients wanted an "inheritable" family home, one that was rooted in its location - the mouth of the Tarpon River where its flows into the New River in Fort Lauderdale. A style with English antecedents appealed to them, so together we came to Tudor. The challenge was to make a non-tropical house fit into a tropical setting. To accomplish that , we kept the woodwork light and gave it deep, outsized windows. We also wrapped a veranda around three sides of the house and ensured that the circulat… - [CORAL GABLES SPANISH STYLE HOME](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coral-gables-spanish-style-home-pj-vj~564964) - Location: Coral Gables, FL - Photos: 13 - Description: We have long been inspired not just by Mediterranean-style architecture in Florida, but even more by the refined, Spanish inspired designs of George Washington Smith and Wallace Neff found in California. For this home we drew upon our visits there and on our personal research. The structure is clothed in tradition, but it flows like a modern home. This large 10,000 square foot house, has sixteen rooms. It has a formal two story living room with a minstrels' gallery and porthole windows that prov… - [A CLASSICAL HOME AT OCEAN REEF CLUB](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-classical-home-at-ocean-reef-club-pj-vj~564963) - Location: Key Largo, FL - Photos: 16 - Description: We designed this home from start to finish; we had the pleasure of selecting everything from the front door – to the napkin rings on the table. The home occupies a very enviable site within the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo. Its location allowed us to situate the house with all its major views to the west, over the water with Florida’ s majestic sunsets. The client’s taste was inclined toward all things British, so together we decided to design this house in the Anglo-Caribbean – also known as Ca… - [STEEPED IN COLOR](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/steeped-in-color-pj-vj~1876738) - Location: Miami Beach, FL - Photos: 19 - Description: This new 4000 square foot; 3 bedroom; 3 bath luxury condo project by Taylor & Taylor may be considered contemporary or eclectic. I’m thinking more eclectic, as eclectic style is the great equalizer; it reshuffles the rule book, mixing and matching old and new, East and West, luxurious and humble. It invites you to fill your space with objects you love and unique finds that strike your fancy. Simply put, it's you, curated. And still it’s contemporary; as in the now; representative of the present;… [See all 13 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/taylor-and-taylor-inc-pfvwus-pf~218241261) ## Ideabooks - [taylorandtaylor's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4899616/list/taylorandtaylor-s-ideas) — 33 ideas - [Shipley's new Digs](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/47105674/list/shipley-s-new-digs) — 3 ideas - [T&T remodel](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/35300241/list/t-t-remodel) — 230 ideas - [phyllis' Ban](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/9935920/list/phyllis-ban) — 31 ideas - [garden walls](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/24099784/list/garden-walls) — 15 ideas - [fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23369999/list/fireplaces) — 7 ideas - [gray wood flooring](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22753222/list/gray-wood-flooring) — 12 ideas - [links](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20480475/list/links) — 13 ideas - [Marino Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18717208/list/marino-kitchen) — 1 idea - [creens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/13525481/list/creens) — 4 ideas - [shalala screens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/9554551/list/shalala-screens) — 3 ideas - [wallace gun room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/9553976/list/wallace-gun-room) — 1 idea - [Kahn Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6851408/list/kahn-residence) — 3 ideas - [Robinson Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6324949/list/robinson-residence) — 20 ideas - [bills ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4902223/list/bills-ideas) — 9 ideas [See all 15 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/taylorandtaylor) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the mirror and lights!
