“This newly constructed house in Miami Beach masterfully combines modern and retro aesthetics,” says designer Omar Moreno. “The home’s various elements—earthy woods, polished concrete, and glass walls—all blend seamlessly to create a luxurious and welcoming space. Highlights in the house include a dual primary bath, custom closets, retractable glass walls, ambient lighting, and a wraparound terrace to enjoy what life in Miami is all about.”

“The architectural vision for this 12,000-square-foot house in Miami Beach emphasizes clean lines, extensive glass walls, and seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces,” says designer Charlotte Dunagan. “Featuring exceptional fine art pieces and sculptures, as well as state-of-the-art smart home technology and meticulously crafted custom fixtures, the residence exudes opulence and sophistication.”
Foyer
P&H Interiors
Setting the Tone
“This contemporary foyer in Boca Raton embodies a sophisticated, timeless elegance that welcomes visitors with both grandeur and warmth,” says designer Susan Connor. “The focal point of the space is the striking two-story, floating staircase. Crafted from bronze metal, it features custom-stained white oak treads with finished end caps, creating a seamless, modern flow.”
Dining Room
LTA Interiors
Modern Touch
“We wanted the dining room of this family home in Boca Raton to look chic and modern, while still being functional,” says designer Tracy Gould. “To accomplish this, we brought in greenery and natural materials, such as ash for the table, oak for the chairs, and bowls made of real stone to create an organic aesthetic. The mirrors in varying sizes are made from rope, and they add an element of whimsy to the overall look.”
Living Room
Adriana Hoyos Design Studio
The High Life
“The living room of this high-rise residence on Brickell Avenue was inspired by the dynamic essence of Manhattan and the refined elegance of Miami, so the interior design captures the vibrant mood of these two locations,” says designer Adriana Hoyos. “The space features an organic, modern aesthetic that combines natural forms with contemporary sophistication. Rounded furniture pieces, featuring gentle curves and soft edges, create a harmonious flow, enhancing the sense of openness and unity.”
Powder Room
NAR Design Studio
Precious Status
“Inspired by the Indian ruby gemstone, the powder room in this Miami penthouse is striking in its elegant contrast of gray and red,” says designer Nicholas Gennari. “The red glass sink, situated on a marble countertop and highlighted by indirect lighting above a matching wall-to-wall lower cabinet, is a captivating feature. An abstract artwork by Julian Castro enhances the contemporary aesthetic.”
Wine Room
Dunagan Diverio Design Group
Red or White?
“The wine cellar in this Miami Beach residence is a sanctuary,” says designer Charlotte Dunagan. “Meticulously crafted, it features custom wood cabinetry and a state-of-the-art temperature-controlled system, ensuring the perfect environment. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a warm palette of earthy browns and oranges that evoke a sense of luxury and comfort. The space is crowned by a metal chandelier that casts a soft glow over the tasting table, offering an intimate setting to enjoy the finest vintages.”
Bar
Marc-Michaels Interior Design
Cocktail Culture
“This 15,000-square-foot waterfront Palm Beach home was made for entertaining, so we wanted to design a generous bar reminiscent of the kind you would find at an elegant, five-star hotel,” says designer Marc Thee. “Central to the flow of the design is the club room, where Hammerton Glacier pendants hover above the Adriana Hoyos barstools. Watching over the scene is a portrait of Jackie O by Enrico Dico.”
Kitchen
Bakes & Kropp
Spice of Life
“This Palm Beach kitchen marries modern convenience with the historic charm of the home in which it’s located,” says designer Bob Bakes. “The design boasts a sophisticated blend of classic and contemporary elements, highlighted by thoughtful finishes and original tiles that add character and uniqueness. All these elements make the space both functional and visually captivating.”
Study or Office
Meredith Marlow Interiors
Business at Home
“When our clients requested a fully functioning office in their Fort Lauderdale home, we focused on how the room would interplay with the rest of the house,” says designer Meredith Marlow. “Instead of a wall, we closed off the space with glass, which visually expanded the main entry and set the entire tone of the residence. Natural light from double height windows allowed us to incorporate a rich, dark saturated green on the walls, as well as rich textures that unify all the spaces.”
Primary Bedroom
P&H Interiors
Rest and Relaxation
“This contemporary primary bedroom in Boca Raton combines elegance, craftsmanship, and a serene atmosphere,” says designer Susan Connor. “The focal point of the space is the custom headboard wall, featuring stained oak panels complemented by lower reeded paneling with an integrated downlight LED channel, creating a warm, inviting glow. Flanking the bed are custom floating nightstands, each with a porcelain-integrated stone end cap, and glowing rope pendants by Luke Lamp that offer a sculptural touch.”
Closet
Hilary Musser Interior Design
Wardrobe Solution
“The primary bedroom closet of this West Palm Beach residence offers a harmonious blend of bold sophistication and timeless elegance,” says designer Hilary Musser. “Designed for a modern bachelor, the space exudes luxury with brushed black wood cabinetry and orange leather accents inspired by Hermès. The layout is both functional and flexible, with thoughtfully curated storage solutions, such as custom compartments, specialized racks, and adjustable shelving.”
Primary Bath
Dunagan Diverio Design Group
Bubbles With a View
“Thanks to its breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, this Miami primary bathroom exudes a serene, spa-like elegance,” says designer Charlotte Dunagan. “Calacatta marble slabs envelop the space, offering a luxurious yet calming atmosphere inspired by the surrounding blue skies and ocean waters. The design seamlessly blends warmth through modern architectural elements and tactile materials, enhancing the tranquil ambiance.”
