Don't you lot beloved a bang-up earlier as well as after? I ever detect them so inspiring, but I rarely present the 'before' on My Scandinavian Home. So I idea I'd plow over a novel leaf. So friends, welcome to a novel mini serial exploring dwelling make-overs at the hands of some of my favourite interior designers as well as the likes of you lot as well as me! Firstly, a HUGE cheers to Builders Bay for sponsoring the serial (check-out their site if you're inwards the middle of a renovation - it's every builder's piddling dark book!).
I felt nosotros needed something form of fabulous to boot off the serial - as well as this beaaaautiful dwelling inwards Miami which has been given an overhaul at the hands of Avenue Design Studio fits the nib perfectly. The blueprint procedure was a yr as well as a one-half inwards the making (imagine?!) - as well as involved a tear-out, renovation as well as redesign of a 2 bed, iii bath penthouse apartment! Wow! I caught upwardly amongst my friend Holly Marder (one one-half of the talented blueprint duo) to detect out more.
What was the brief?
"The mode administration for this Miami abode was fresh, contemporary as well as laid upwardly clean amongst a classic twist. We wanted to breathe novel life into the infinite equally a whole, opened upwardly it upwardly but at the same fourth dimension ensure our customer was left amongst a liveable, functional interior."
Open-plan dining as well as living expanse
What did you lot convey planned for the dining / living area?
"As you lot tin ship away run into nosotros had mostly cosmetic changes to make, but I also felt that nosotros needed to opened upwardly up the spaces fifty-fifty further to allow for to a greater extent than calorie-free as well as a full general flow. The living as well as dining expanse was large as well as spacious but the kitchen was modest as well as the ceiling was low. We pulled out a wall or two, raised the ceilings inwards diverse places as well as and then got started selecting all the finishes that would lay the groundwork for the renovated space, and overall the results are much fresher as well as lighter."
AFTER
Can you lot tell us to a greater extent than almost 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 household her dinnerware as well as glassware, linens equally good equally supply an interesting backdrop to her dining space. The goal amongst this blueprint was to integrate it amongst the wall, equally opposed to beingness a separate entity of its ain as well as live on ‘busy’ inwards the space. We wanted it to live on streamlined as well as equally even equally possible, as well as thus opted to pigment the whole unit the same colour equally the walls (Origami White yesteryear Sherwin Williams) which turned out whiter than expected due to the complete applied to it. That said, it is fresh as well as laid upwardly clean as well as allows the accessories, as well as beautiful oak pulls from our friends at Design Studio NU, to popular off it spell the large wooden tabular array as well as sculptural Lambert et Fils pendant can stand upwardly out against a calm yet interesting backdrop."
Such a perfect dining area, don't you lot think? I specially similar how the opened upwardly shelves allow for displaying items you lot beloved as well as and then you lot tin ship away shove less pretty / to a greater extent than practical things inwards the cupboards as well as drawers (also keeping them costless from dust). Perfect!
Living room
What was your idea procedure behind the living room area?
"We wanted the living expanse to live on a fundamental component division of the room, without being ‘heavy’ . The goal hither aesthetically was calm, inviting, organic. We brought inwards many dissimilar materials including walnut as well as other woods, marble, wool as well as leather to supply involvement as well as contrast. While nosotros used many beautiful pieces that are noteworthy inwards the living room, the splurge slice of slice of furniture was the walnut sideboard yesteryear German linguistic communication slice of furniture label Zeitraum."
Loving this! I've so got my oculus on that java tabular array - as well as the side cabinet (can totally empathize the splurge, tin ship away you?!
Kitchen
What did you lot convey inwards heed for the kitchen?
"For our component division savvy customer nosotros designed an all-American kitchen, featuring custom cabinetry, tons of storage, a breakfast bar as well as lots of light and flow. I worked amongst Aukje Schukken on the designs as well as sketches hither inwards the studio, and afterward selecting the materials inwards mortal inwards Miami as well as ironing out the details, Dan’s Carpentry expertly carried out the designs locally."
The blueprint
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 manus selected a beautiful slice of Macuava Calacutta quartzite that has the most gorgeous soft green-blue vein through it, much the agency calcutta marble would. We looked at whiter marbles but couldn’t larn yesteryear how pretty this 1 was inwards mortal so after our arduous as well as thorough search within the rock supplier inwards 38 flat 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 as well as created a breakfast bar there. We also raised the ceilings throughout the entry, kitchen, halls as well as bathrooms."
Oh yassss! I intend they nailed it, practice you? Plus I could totally run into myself amongst a morn java as well as a magazine at that breakfast bar, how almost you?!
Tell us almost the primary bath re-design?
"The primary bath was 1 of 3 bathrooms nosotros designed, though due to fourth dimension constraints nosotros solely shot the one. It was all cosmetic changes for the primary suite as the existing layout worked well. As you lot tin ship away run into from the below earlier shots it was a chip of a circus inwards there, or a zoo to live on to a greater extent than specific. The previous owners had some fun amongst the walls as well as spell nosotros intend a lot of inventiveness went into the monkey woods scene, nosotros couldn’t hold off to clean the infinite upwardly as well as give it a fresh injection using quality materials, custom cabinetry as well as 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 inwards 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 aspect manufactured but the movement, grain as well as colour of this 1 is so natural as well as inwards the bath is looks fabulous. We used a large polished rock tile on the walls around the bath tub, shower walls as well as baseboard, addition a beautiful striped matte tile on the wall betwixt the bath tub as well as shower (that doesn’t present upwardly equally nicely inwards the icon equally it does inwards mortal – the texture is so beautiful inwards the space), polished quartz cararra counter top, custom walnut door as well as drawer pulls, as well as custom cabinetry painted inwards Benjamin Moore’s White Dove in the same ‘contemporary shaker’ mode equally the kitchen cabinetry featuring a walnut divider amongst integrated dorsum as well as forepart storage."
And the result...
Oj oj oj (as they country inwards Sweden!), what a transformation! It but goes to present that it's amazing what you lot tin ship away practice amongst a piddling vision (and the assist of Avenue Design Studio!).
That's 1 lucky client, wouldn't you lot say?! Plus they convey Miami on their doorstep too.... desire to swap?!
Have a lovely day!
