Founded in 2012, SDH is a young, innovative practice that focuses on the design of luxury homes throughout South Florida. With an ongoing search for the essence of design, a strong emphasis is placed on light, form and function. SDH thrives to develop designs that encapsulate the heart and individuality of each client. The client’s vision of the project is a key component in the holistic approach to the design and development process. Sensitive to the particularities of each site, SDH is constantly searching for new creative ways to integrate the inside with the outside in order to create an intimate relationship between the user and its surroundings. Simple lines and expressive materials shape the palette for both the home’s exteriors and interiors. Understanding the fundamental nature of each material allows us to create inherent designs that establish a dialog between the architectural form and its environment. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Architectural Drawings - Custom Homes - House Plans - Kitchen Design - Sustainable Design - Floor Plans - 3D Rendering - Bathroom Design - Space Planning - Universal Design - Drafting - Project Management - Barn Design & Construction - Art Selection - Bedroom Design - Construction Drawings - Custom Cabinets - Custom Kitchen Cabinets - Entry Design - Furniture Selection - Greenhouse Design & Construction - Home Office Design - Interior Design - Kids Bedroom Design - Lighting Design - Living Room Design - Site Planning ### Areas Served - Miami - Hialeah - Fort Lauderdale - Pembroke Pines - Hollywood - Miramar - Miami Gardens - Davie - Miami Beach - Homestead - North Miami - Coral Gables - North Miami Beach - Hallandale Beach - Aventura - Cooper City - Opa Locka - Sunny Isles Beach - Pinecrest - Ojus - Key Biscayne - Miami Springs - Miami Shores - Broadview Park - North Bay Village - Bay Harbor Islands - Surfside - Bal Harbour - Golden Beach - Fisher Island - Ochopee ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | SDH Studio Architecture and Interior Design | | Address | 18200 NE 19th Ave. Suite 100, North Miami Beach, Florida 33162, United States | | Phone | (305) 501-5013 | | Website | http://www.sdhstudio.com | | License Number | AA26002883 | | Followers on Houzz | 627 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — SDH STUDIO Architecture & Design - LinkedIn — SDH Studio Architecture and Design - Blog — www.sdhstudio.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [SDH Studio Architecture and Interior Design](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/sdh-studio-architecture-and-interior-design-pfvwus-pf~218639021) - **Website:** http://www.sdhstudio.com - **Phone:** (305) 501-5013 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 19 awards (2015–2026), for Design, Service. **Affiliations** - [The American Institute of Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/the-american-institute-of-architects-pfvwus-pf~1350720471) - [NCARB](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/ncarb-pfvwus-pf~1477640315) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 54 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 50.0 - Communication: 50.0 - Value: 50.0 ### Reviews **★★★★★ — reviati, April 2023** > Working with SDH has been the best decision we could have made.
