Transforming an Oceanfront Brickell Apartment into a Serene Vacation Home

There’s something magical about being at the beach. The fresh air, the feeling of sand beneath your toes, and the sound of the crashing waves. It’s a place for the soul to be at peace. In our recent Brickell apartment renovation, we used the colors, textures, and experience of being at the beach to design a welcoming vacation home for our clients.

In collaboration with Abreu Homes, the 1,433 square foot Brickell apartment with waterfront views exudes serenity at every corner. We took specific inspiration from the way waves move along the shore, refreshing the sand from footprints and promising renewal.

Bringing new beginnings and a fresh, airy feel, this vacation home will feature calming neutral colors with organic seaside textures. In addition, the color scheme will feature pops of blue and green inspired by the colors of the sea.

DESIGN CONCEPT

SHORELAND RENEWAL

Designed to capture the spirit of the beach, this Brickell condo will feature layered textures, muted lighting, and light colors. The design includes organic elements as well as soft contrasts that are soothing to the eye.

Inspired by the sparkling quality of ocean water at sunset, we’ve also incorporated pieces that reflect natural light, including mirrors, windows, and metallic elements. The atmosphere will be perfect for the whole family as they get away from it all and enjoy quality time together.

COLOR PALETTE AND MATERIALS

Our clients can leave their worries behind as they step through the door and into a space filled with the light, relaxing hues and textures of the beach. The color palette goes from the most delicate sand color to a deep navy.

According to color psychology, the entire spectrum will calm the senses. We’ve emphasized natural surfaces like wooden floors and furniture, stone, and leather to evoke a sense of groundedness. There will also be plenty of windows to let in natural light and ocean breezes to enhance the feeling of being at the shore.

The entryway to this Brickell apartment is designed to lead directly into the living room. We’ve kept the design very minimalist with emphasis placed on the textural surface of the walls, light hued wood floors, and subtle recessed lighting.

Upon entering the home, you are greeted with the sense of walking along the sand with no distractions – it’s clean, fresh, and calming. A unique statement light fixture with exposed bulbs resembles bubbles in the sea, adding a bit of artistry to the space.

LIVING ROOM

This beautiful light-filled living room will be the central gathering place for the whole family. Our clients can relax on the sofa with a book or listen to music together as they enjoy the views outside.

The wood accents add an extra level of charm and warmth to the space, grounding the light hued upholstery. On the far side of the room are built-in shelves that display the family’s favorite books and art objects.

KITCHEN

In an open-plan layout, the clean and minimalist kitchen flows naturally from the living room. While compact, it has plenty of room for preparing food and features an island that seats four people at the counter. The cabinets and built-in shelves provide ample storage.

DINING ROOM

A lot of the design elements in this home are sleek and refined, and the dining room is no different. An extension of the living room and kitchen, this space features a marble-top dining table with eight mid-century modern inspired chairs.

This table is large enough to allow the family and their guests plenty of room to enjoy meals together. It is a bright and airy space with unique artistic accents. The textural white light fixture above the table resembles a sea creature floating to the surface of the water.

FAMILY ROOM

The family room is streamlined and designed for entertainment. The focal point is a large wall-mounted TV, which the family can use to watch their favorite movies and shows together.

Along with natural light from the windows, this room is illuminated by two bubble sconces as well as recessed lighting. The comfy sofa is a great place to relax and unwind after a long day at the beach.
