City to Sea View Penthouse

Initially reminiscent of a film set from the 1980s, this penthouse in Brickell was a maze of red marble, dropped ceilings, and dark, choppy rooms that blocked the stunning views. Despite its flaws, the space boasted incredible city and bay vistas, paired with hidden 12-foot ceilings that promised untapped potential. Partway through the planning process, the neighboring apartment became available, allowing two units to merge into a sprawling, light-filled home.

The transformation focused on opening the space to create a sense of flow and connection to the breathtaking views. By reconfiguring the old, formal layout, we crafted a contemporary, expansive living area suited for a modern family. Gone were the outdated features, replaced with airy, connected rooms that celebrate the spectacular light and panoramic scenery.

The result is a serene and versatile home in the sky, perfectly tailored for a couple beginning the empty nest phase, but spacious enough to accommodate family gatherings. This penthouse now functions as beautifully for two as it does for six, offering a peaceful retreat high above the bustling city below.
