Curated for Perfection: A Miami Beach Luxury Condo Remodel
The K. Residence is an elegantly and meticulously curated interior remodel of a condo unit in the exclusive oceanfront One Ocean Condominium in South Beach, Miami Beach. Designed by Architecture Experience Inc. and interior architect Scott Himmel of Himmel & Co, this project showcases our dedication to high-quality design and meticulous detail.
Our team led the phased renovation, transforming five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a media room, office, foyer, kitchen, and living and dining areas to the highest standards of luxury and functionality. The project required significant adjustments to address challenging assemblies, details, and finishes, ensuring seamless integration with existing architecture.
The extensive detailing includes custom endpoints for smart home integration, innovative components for mechanical, specialty lighting. New stone interiors and millwork were required to meet high standards of compatibility with the interior design concept and existing materials.
Context
Situated in one of Miami’s most prestigious neighborhoods, One Ocean offers luxury close to the beach, fine dining, and entertainment. The condo provides easy access to South Florida’s iconic South Point Park, a 17-acre waterfront oasis featuring panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, Fisher Island, Port of Miami, downtown Miami, and the Atlantic Ocean. Renovations in the park include a walking trail, picnic areas, a dog park, a playground, a splash pad, and organized events, making it a perfect recreational spot for residents.
One Ocean’s location in the heart of South of Fifth (SoFi) places residents in a small, affluent neighborhood known for its security and tranquility. Spanning from South Point Park to 5th Street, SoFi offers immediate access to many of Miami Beach’s notable restaurants. The balcony provides stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, South Point Park, and the entire SoFi neighborhood. This vantage point also allows residents to enjoy the resort-style pool, referred to as a floating oasis and amenity deck.
Key Features:
Smart Home Integration: Custom endpoints and innovative components were installed for seamless smart home connectivity, enhancing the living experience with state-of-the-art technology.
Specialty Products: Custom and fully coordinated lighting, plumbing fixtures and accessories were selected to complement the unique concepts for each interior area design, creating an elegant, calming, sophisticated ambiance throughout the residence. A key component was using platinum or polished nickel trim throughout all spaces.
Doors, Paneling and Door Hardware: We replaced all of the doors and paneling with custom, flush and trimless “European-style” solid wood doors in a custom finished and matching white oak veneer. Reveals aligned throughout the unit create a subtle consistency. Door levers in polished nickel by Nanz were inspired by Bauhaus design and coordinated door hardware were seamlessly designed and integrated throughout.
High-End Finishes: New travertine and onyx stone interior and meticulously crafted custom white oak millwork were incorporated to harmonize with the overall design concept, elevating the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the space. Challenges includes matching out of production white high-polish porcelain floor tile.
Gourmet Kitchen: The 3,740 square-foot unit features a large open-concept kitchen with a matching marble countertop, backsplash and island, high-end appliances, a gas range, and Subzero appliances built into custom cabinetry. This kitchen is a culinary dream, perfectly suited for both everyday use and entertaining.
Spacious Living Areas: The family room and formal living room are designed to offer comfort and elegance, featuring high-end furniture and large proportions that provide a great view of the surrounding scenery.
