Make-Over: Miami Penthouse Earlier & After
Don't y'all dear a slap-up earlier in addition to after? I ever honor them so inspiring, but I rarely present the 'before' on My Scandinavian Home. So I idea I'd plough over a novel leaf. So friends, welcome to a novel mini serial exploring domicile make-overs at the hands of some of my favourite interior designers in addition to the likes of y'all in addition to me! Firstly, a HUGE thank y'all to Builders Bay for sponsoring the serial (check-out their site if you're inward the middle of a renovation - it's every builder's lilliputian dark book!).
I felt nosotros needed something form of fabulous to boot off the serial - in addition to this beaaaautiful domicile inward Miami which has been given an overhaul at the hands of Avenue Design Studio fits the pecker perfectly. The pattern procedure was a twelvemonth in addition to a one-half inward the making (imagine?!) - in addition to involved a tear-out, renovation in addition to redesign of a ii bed, iii bath penthouse apartment! Wow! I caught upwards amongst my friend Holly Marder (one one-half of the talented pattern duo) to honor out more.
What was the brief?
"The mode direction for this Miami abode was fresh, contemporary in addition to cook clean amongst a classic twist. We wanted to breathe novel life into the infinite equally a whole, opened upwards it upwards but at the same fourth dimension ensure our customer was left amongst a liveable, functional interior."
Open-plan dining in addition to living surface area
What did y'all accept planned for the dining / living area?
"As y'all tin come across nosotros had mostly cosmetic changes to make, but I also felt that nosotros needed to opened upwards up the spaces fifty-fifty further to allow for to a greater extent than low-cal in addition to a full general flow. The living in addition to dining surface area was large in addition to spacious but the kitchen was small-scale in addition to the ceiling was low. We pulled out a wall or two, raised the ceilings inward diverse places in addition to and so got started selecting all the finishes that would lay the groundwork for the renovated space, and overall the results are much fresher in addition to lighter."
AFTER
Can y'all tell us to a greater extent than most THAT fab storage unit?!
"To tackle our clients’ asking for enough of storage, nosotros designed a wall to wall built-in cabinet flanking the dining tabular array to menage her dinnerware in addition to glassware, linens equally good equally supply an interesting backdrop to her dining space. The goal amongst this pattern was to integrate it amongst the wall, equally opposed to existence a separate entity of its ain in addition to last ‘busy’ inward the space. We wanted it to last streamlined in addition to equally level equally possible, in addition to thence opted to pigment the whole unit the same colour equally the walls (Origami White past times Sherwin Williams) which turned out whiter than expected due to the complete applied to it. That said, it is fresh in addition to cook clean in addition to allows the accessories, in addition to beautiful oak pulls from our friends at Design Studio NU, to popular off it spell the large wooden tabular array in addition to sculptural Lambert et Fils pendant can stand upwards out against a calm yet interesting backdrop."
Such a perfect dining area, don't y'all think? I particularly similar how the opened upwards shelves allow for displaying items y'all dear in addition to and so y'all tin shove less pretty / to a greater extent than practical things inward the cupboards in addition to drawers (also keeping them gratis from dust). Perfect!
Living room
What was your idea procedure behind the living room area?
"We wanted the living surface area to last a key component division of the room, without being ‘heavy’ . The goal hither aesthetically was calm, inviting, organic. We brought inward many unlike materials including walnut in addition to other woods, marble, wool in addition to leather to supply involvement in addition to contrast. While nosotros used many beautiful pieces that are noteworthy inward the living room, the splurge slice of slice of furniture was the walnut sideboard past times High German slice of furniture label Zeitraum."
Loving this! I've so got my oculus on that java tabular array - in addition to the side cabinet (can totally empathize the splurge, tin you?!
Kitchen
What did y'all accept inward hear for the kitchen?
"For our role savvy customer nosotros designed an all-American kitchen, featuring custom cabinetry, tons of storage, a breakfast bar in addition to lots of light and flow. I worked amongst Aukje Schukken on the designs in addition to sketches hither inward the studio, and afterwards selecting the materials inward individual inward Miami in addition to ironing out the details, Dan’s Carpentry expertly carried out the designs locally."
The pattern
What were your goals for the kitchen?
"For the countertops our client wanted practical but didn’t desire to skip out on looks. And why should she? We mitt selected a beautiful slice of Macuava Calacutta quartzite that has the most gorgeous soft green-blue vein through it, much the means calcutta marble would. We looked at whiter marbles but couldn’t instruct past times how pretty this i was inward individual so after our arduous in addition to thorough search within the rock supplier inward 38 marking Miami heat, it was a done deal. The colour nosotros used on the cabinetry is City Loft by Sherwin-Williams. We removed the wall following to the forepart door in addition to created a breakfast bar there. We also raised the ceilings throughout the entry, kitchen, halls in addition to bathrooms."
Oh yassss! I mean value they nailed it, practice you? Plus I could totally come across myself amongst a morn java in addition to a periodical at that breakfast bar, how most you?!
Tell us most the principal bath re-design?
"The principal bath was i of 3 bathrooms nosotros designed, though due to fourth dimension constraints nosotros exclusively shot the one. It was all cosmetic changes for the principal suite as the existing layout worked well. As y'all tin come across from the below earlier shots it was a chip of a circus inward there, or a zoo to last to a greater extent than specific. The previous owners had some fun amongst the walls in addition to spell nosotros mean value a lot of inventiveness went into the monkey wood scene, nosotros couldn’t hold off to clean the infinite upwards in addition to give it a fresh injection using quality materials, custom cabinetry in addition to warm wood tones."
What were your plans?
"We continued the wood tile that nosotros used throughout since it was so practical but even so added such warmth to the infinite (which has no natural light). Seeing it inward the bath I am even so so pleased amongst the alternative of wood tile nosotros made. It was a tough task because most of them facial expression manufactured but the movement, grain in addition to colour of this i is so natural in addition to inward the bath is looks fabulous. We used a large polished rock tile on the walls around the bath tub, shower walls in addition to baseboard, summation a beautiful striped matte tile on the wall betwixt the bath tub in addition to shower (that doesn’t present upwards equally nicely inward the icon equally it does inward individual – the texture is so beautiful inward the space), polished quartz cararra counter top, custom walnut door in addition to drawer pulls, in addition to custom cabinetry painted inward Benjamin Moore’s White Dove in the same ‘contemporary shaker’ mode equally the kitchen cabinetry featuring a walnut divider amongst integrated dorsum in addition to forepart storage."
And the result...
Oj oj oj (as they country inward Sweden!), what a transformation! It only goes to present that it's amazing what y'all tin practice amongst a lilliputian vision (and the assist of Avenue Design Studio!).
That's i lucky client, wouldn't y'all say?! Plus they accept Miami on their doorstep too.... desire to swap?!
Have a lovely day!
