The Balfour Hotel

The Balfour Hotel sits in Miami Beach's South of Fifth neighborhood, and it had a reputation to protect.

The work won the 2025 INT Award for Hotels, recognition judged on...

The Guesthouses at Southernmost Beach Resort

Two historic Key West houses, two different centuries of charm. The Avalon, a 21-room Victorian on Duval Street, dates to 1885. Duval Gardens, a few blocks away, traces to 1920 and holds 12 guest rooms. We restored both for Southernmost Beach Resort with a light hand: keep the Conch character,...

L'Auberge Del Mar - San Diego - Hospitality Hotel Design by Bigtime Design Studios

L’Auberge Del Mar

Hello, L'Auberge. For Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, we married California Modern to coastal transitional: simple lines, rich finishes, and a palette of tan, beige, taupe, and grey with the beach running underneath it. This is not our grandfather's beach resort, and we said so in the design. The revered Living Room...

The Gabriel Hotel

The Gabriel Hotel, formerly the ME Hotel, is South Beach Art Deco read through a contemporary lens: pastel pink, blue, and green against vintage wood and terrazzo, porthole windows pouring in light.

Cultura Restaurant Miami - Restaurant Designers

CVLTVRA

Miami is the Latin American epicenter of the USA, and CVLTVRA had to hold all of it at once. The room soars 22 feet, so we scaled everything up: custom hex tile underfoot, a cypress street-market structure overhead, 75-inch commissioned steer heads, and a 30-foot NanaWall that opens the garden...
