At the Penthouse Level of this beautiful luxury Miami Beach building our client added 2 Bioclimatic Louver Systems over their Summer Kitchen and Spa Area. The South Side of the terrace is a freestanding system and also includes 2 MagnaTrack Solar Screens for additional shade and privacy. On the North side of the terrace we anchored our Louver system to the rear of their Spa with support columns in front. Both systems were installed directly to the terrace with hidden anchor plates. As these systems are installed on a rooftop, a bioclimatic louver system is the ideal shade structure for Florida's sub-tropical climate. During storms with heavy wind they simply open the system to allow the wind to pass through, not worrying about any potential uplift from the storm.

WILD AFRICA Door is a magnificent display of craftsmanship and artistry. The rich, warm tones of the wood, combined with the intricate carvings of African wildlife, create a striking visual impact. It serves as both a functional entryway and a captivating piece of decorative art, acting as a centerpiece for a home or building they adorn. Detailed Features: Material: The doors are constructed from Mahogany, known for its durability and rich color. The wood exhibits a beautiful grain pattern that adds to the overall aesthetic. Design: The doors are a double swing-in system, meaning they swing-in on themselves when opened. This suggests they might lead to a space where conserving space is important or where a grand, expansive entrance is desired. Carvings: The most impressive feature is the elaborate hand-carving. It depicts a scene of African wildlife, including: Elephant: Dominating the center is a large African elephant, shown in profile. Its trunk is curved upward, suggesting as door handles and offer a sense of motion or trumpeting. The texture of the elephant's skin is meticulously rendered with fine lines and wrinkles. Lions: To the left of the elephant, a lion head is depicted in profile, facing the same direction as the elephant. The lion's mane is particularly noteworthy, with detailed carving giving it a flowing, textured appearance. Rhino: To the right of the elephant, a rhino head is carved in profile. The thick, plated skin and the prominent horns are clearly visible. Buffalo: Below the rhino, a Cape buffalo is depicted, also in profile. Its distinctive horns curve upwards and then inwards. Leopard: In the lower left corner, a leopard is carved in profile, facing left. Its spotted coat is suggested through variations in texture and depth. Glass Panels: Flanking the carved panels on both sides are vertical panels of textured glass. These panels allow light to filter through while offering a degree of privacy. The texture of the glass complements the natural feel of the wood and adds another layer of visual interest.

It’s rare when a client comes to me with a brief for a complete home from scratch, but that is exactly what happened here. My client, a professional musician and singer, was having a luxury three-story condo built and wanted help choosing not only all the hardscape materials like tile, flooring, carpet, and cabinetry, but also all furniture and furnishings. I even outfitted his new home with plates, flatware, pots and pans, towels, sheets, and window coverings. Like I said, this was from scratch! We defined his style direction for the new home including dark colors, minimalistic furniture, and a modern industrial sensibility, and I set about creating a fluid expression of that style. The tone is set at the entry where a custom laser-cut industrial steel sign requests visitors be shoeless. We deliberately limited the color palette for the entire house to black, grey, and deep blue, with grey-washed or dark stained neutral woods. The navy zellige tiles on the backsplash in the kitchen add depth between the cement-textured quartz counters and cerused cabinetry. The island is painted in a coordinating navy and features hand-forged iron stools. In the dining room, horizontal and vertical lines play with each other in the form of an angular linear chandelier, lighted acrylic light columns, and a dining table with a special faceted wave edge. Chair backs echo the shape of the art maps on the wall. We chose a unique, three dimensional wall treatment for the living room where a plush sectional and LED tunable lights set the stage for comfy movie nights. Walls with a repeating whimsical black and white whale skeleton named Bruce adorn the walls of the powder room. The adjacent patio boasts a resort-like feeling with a cozy fire table, a wall of up-lit boxwoods, and a black sofa and chairs for star gazing. A gallery wall featuring a roster of some of my client’s favorite rock, punk, and jazz musicians adorns the stairwell. On the third floor, the primary and guest bathrooms continue with the cement-textured quartz counters and same cerused cabinetry. We completed this well-appointed home with a serene guest room in the established limited color palette and a lounge/office/recording room. All photos by Bernardo Grijalva
