The Loft was designed to give a greater purpose to high ceilings. Rather than soar without reason, a double-height space was conceived as two distinct planes. The lower area is dedicated to the art of living, while the upper area finds its calling in the art of collecting. By dividing a vertical space horizontally, visual harmony can be achieved.
The lower portion is clad in wood and natural stone, bringing undeniable warmth to the living quarters. Above, white paint and plaster allows for loftier ambitions, and creates the perfect gallery to house an impressive art collection that can be enjoyed from anywhere in the home. The staircase follows the same principle, broken in two planes while remaining connected with both spaces. The floating staircase and hallway bisect the space, allowing for a seamless flow from the space below to the one above.
The project is located in the heart of Miami Beach, inside one of the most unique buildings under construction. The Ritz Carlton Residences at Miami Beach. The uniqueness of its enclave, the signature tropical weather and the most upcoming art culture in the city, are allowing projects of its kind to be developed. Traditionally, Miami is being a city oriented to the commercial and luxury design. New players on the art scene are allowing this ecosystem to flourish with a more sensible and unique design strategies, not related to just appoint the luxe world, but enhancing a more experimental design and ways on creating spaces and new habitats.
