MIAMI MODERN HOUSE
PROJECT:
Designing a modern house for a young tech-savvy international couple with small children who sought a serene interior which balanced home life, work, and entertaining.
BRIEF:
Assure was asked by a young couple to design clean functional interiors that incorporated indoor and outdoor
spaces.
The project was a new construction in a family compound created with Assure’s input.
The clients and their growing family were to move from an apartment in Miami Beach to a large house which was tailored to their requirements. As part of life with young children the clients requested two separate family rooms and a playroom.
The husband from a tech background wanted a very smart home and Assure aimed to deliver this without sacrificing style.
A home office needed to be flexible for both clients, an entrepreneur, and a fashion executive, to work from home as needed.
The wife, who works in the fashion industry, is an accomplished cook and this space was specially tailored to her culinary needs.
Assure has delivered a supremely comfortable, stylish, and functional house for their clients. Everyone has their own space, the layered tactile materials suit Miami climate and the crisply decorated rooms are infused with lots of natural light.
DESIGN:
Assure provided a full consulting package working with the architect, designing all the interiors including the
kitchen, lighting, and sourcing. Modern interiors with warm elements come together in a fresh and welcoming
way.
Throughout the house, the Studio introduced an earthy palette with neutral hues, layering texture, and interest via tactile materials such as linen, boucle velvet and accent colors in greens and blues. These elements were conceived as part of a laidback and refined decorating scheme suitable for tropical living.
The light-filled living room, originally conceived as an open space, was divided by a wine wall at the client’s request for a more formal dining area. The glass wine cellar creates a separate dining room while maintaining a feeling of openness. The wall holds 200 bottles in a temperature-controlled environment.
The dining room seats eight to ten comfortably. Assure applied Malachite green suede to the ceiling, moldings, and walls to create an intimate and elegant environment for evening entertaining. The stripe wool & silk rug from the Rug Company adds a graphic pop and armchairs from Poltrona Frau inject tactile color leather which stands out against the dark walls.
The upstairs primary bedroom was designed as a large suite with a separate seating/ TV area behind the bed and a large spa-like primary bathroom. In the bedroom silk blend wallcovering creates a cocooning backdrop with the coziness enhanced by a silk rug and silk bedding from British brand Gingerlily. The dramatic Fendi mirrored screen creates privacy and functions as a dressing area.
