The real estate market is constantly changing. At any given time, buyers and sellers may have more questions than answers. In the spring of 2022, many Miami residents are wondering when the housing market will balance out.

What is a balanced market?

First, it’s important to understand what a balanced housing market looks like. Whether it’s a buyer’s market, a seller’s market, or a balanced market has everything to do with the “months supply of inventory” or MSI. To determine the MSI, an individual must estimate how long a home will be on the market before it is sold or absorbed based on the homes currently being sold in the area. The absorption rate is the number of homes sold in a year divided by twelve.

In a buyer’s market, it is estimated that there is more than six months’ worth of inventory. When there is less than six months’ worth of inventory, it is assumed to be a seller’s market. A balanced market is said to occur when there is an estimated six months’ worth of inventory.

When will the Miami real estate market balance out?

Miami is currently experiencing very low inventory, as is most of the country, therefore making it a seller’s market.
“In recent years, it has become very tricky to predict when ‘balance’ will finally occur. However, indications are leading to the possibility of a balanced market by the end of this year,” says Miami Signature Homes President and top producer Mauricio J. Barba.

How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the Miami real estate market?

At the beginning of 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic started, national real estate experts projected that the housing market would enter into a depression. Seemingly in defiance of those expectations, by the summer of 2020, the housing market was booming. This phenomenon drove inventory down 32% when compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Locally, Miami experienced some of the highest housing cost increases anywhere in the United States, as reported by CBS4 Miami. Miami has always been attractive to Latin American and European investors, but more recently COVID restrictions in other parts of the United States, and the now ubiquitousness of remote work, have driven up costs as Americans look to relocate to the Magic City.

“They started coming to South Florida in droves,” said Jennifer Wollmann, board chair of the Miami Association of Realtors.

With buyers outnumbering homes for sale, Covid-19 has affected both supply and demand despite inflation rates. Prices in December rose by 29% in Miami-Dade, and by 18% in Broward according to the Miami Herald. Additionally, due to the high demand, buyers had no choice but to offer the listing price if they wanted to acquire a property.

Prior to lockdown restrictions, a poll conducted by Fannie Mae, showed that only 25% of homebuyers thought it was a good time to buy a home, compared to 69% who were convinced it was a good time to sell. A more recent poll showed individuals appeared certain that home prices would go up over the next year and they expressed increased concern about job stability than in the past reports.

“COVID has flipped our life upside-down, disturbed many aspects of everyday life, but the housing market had exceptional performance,” Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors, told FOX Television Stations.

Is the Russia-Ukraine Situation Affecting the Miami Real Estate Market?

Another worrying aspect for sellers and buyers is undoubtedly the situation in Ukraine and its effects on housing in the United States. The effects of the Ukraine crisis certainly are impacting oil and energy prices. Until now, we haven’t seen changes in real estate. However, if those energy prices remain elevated for a significant period, the potential effects may hit the housing market. In other words, higher energy prices could make consumers even more apprehensive about making big purchases.

Elevated oil prices, material shortages, distribution delays, and increased shipping costs, all ultimately affect construction prices. Some commodities for new home construction have reached record-high price levels, making experts believe home prices will rise by as much as 22% this spring. In addition, the lack of construction materials has created a new-home construction supply gap of 5.8 million houses as of February 2022.
Although the situation in Russia and Ukraine is creating significant uncertainty, experts are reluctant to change their forecasts for the spring housing market, as the future is more unpredictable than it was before.

“Currently, we are all concerned with Ukraine/Russia's effect on our hyper-local market, but at this moment it doesn’t seem to have noticeably affected the housing market. Prices remain high and buyers are paying, generally speaking,” said Barba. “Even so, the market is continuing to change very quickly making it more important than ever for buyers and sellers to work with a real estate professional to navigate these changes.”

According to industry insiders, changes in inventory aren’t projected to change in Miami in the near future. However, interest rates are already on the rise, which will affect the market.

Duoma Atelier recently shared a wellness study regarding the increasingly normal trend for companies to allow (sometimes prefer) employees to work from home. The following are some of the key concepts that promote a healthy home office with wellness at the forefront.

Air

Since we spend most of our time indoors, the air quality of our buildings is extremely important. There are easy ways to improve the quality of the air you breathe at home. A good place to start would be to make sure that the HVAC unit filter has a high MERV rating. The Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value is a measurement scale which reports the effectiveness of air filters.

Other than that, the next course of action would be to add an air purifier to rooms which you use most, including bedrooms, and in this case, home offices. Adding indoor plants also contributes to air purification.

Comfort

Above all else, your home office should be a comfortable environment which allows you to work in peace. It's recommended to invest in a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones - you won't regret it. If you share a home office, or if your home office is located near a space in the house which tends to be noisy, a great idea would be to add materials such as carpet, felt or fabric-wrapped panels in order to absorb sound.

When it comes to lighting, it's a good idea to have a variety based on different uses and needs. General lighting ought to be considered as the first layer, accompanied by individual desk lamps for personal use. When taking zoom meetings into consideration, good illumination is a huge facet of any great home office.

Mind

Mental wellness and physical wellness are equally important and they go hand in hand. Natural light should be at the top of the list when it comes to working from home. Try incorporating views to the outside or at least set up your office in a room that has windows to help with your circadian rhythm.

Next, add items that stimulate the senses. This can be through aromatherapy, a speaker which can emit sounds of nature in the background, or even some form of a miniature Zen Garden. The idea is to provide your mind with sensory cues to remember to breathe and relax from time to time.

Water

Hydration is key to your overall health. However, drinking the appropriate amount of water for your body can be easier said than done. While a brief walk to the kitchen can be a good break from work and good way to avoid staying stationary for too long, it's a good idea to keep a water station nearby within your home office. Consider it a visual cue to remind you to stay hydrated.

Photo Credit: Unsplash

Movement

There are several ways in which your home office can be designed to promote wellness. Investing in a good ergonomic chair is a good place to start in order to promote good posture when you work.

But it doesn't stop there. Research shows that remaining seated for extended periods of time is just as dangerous as smoking. An adjustable standing desk has become popular for good reason. They have been proven to promote mobility, aid prevention of back pain and regulate blood flow.

Rita Chraibi

Rita recently previewed an exciting upcoming project with Haute Design. The massive structure is set to result in an exceptional and unprecedented exterior for Miami.

Haute Design: What does a project of this magnitude mean for your firm?

Rita Chraibi: This means a lot. This kind of project is a big challenge because it is an existing house that we have to completely reconfigure. The residence is more than 30 years old. For the exterior of the house, we have redesigned all the facades. This completely affects the interior as well as it alters the distribution and rearrangement of the layout. Therefore, the interior design of the home has been completely redone.

Taking into account all the constraints of the existing house, it's a lot of parameters to take into consideration and a lot of constraints to manage at the same time. From a scale and size point of view, it requires a lot of time and very experienced interior design teams to manage a huge project - which also implies teams to manage and coordinate on-site.

It also implies a lot of creativity because this type of mansion has to be completely rethought and reconfigured, not just on an aesthetic level, but on a technological level as well. There are plenty of constraints to manage since we have an existing house with all the structural and architectural limitations. So yes, it’s a very large project in terms of its size and importance and it's a wonderful opportunity to be able to express my creativity and expertise on such a project.

HD: What is the most exciting part about tackling a project this large?

RC: It's very exciting to compare the before and after aspects of a project like this. You have a house that's over 30 years old and you have to completely changes its style and redesign it. Unlike new house built from scratch, we will benefit from this before and after concept and it's very exciting. Aside from the size (42,000 sq. ft built-up) and importance of the project, what will be most exciting is to see the house at the beginning of the project and then see its gradual transformation toward the final result. We're expecting to get the sense that it's not the same house at all and it will be somewhat of an extreme makeover.

HD: What will be the main inspiration for the design of this home?

RC: It's a house that was built in a Mediterranean style in the 80's on a private beach. The location of the house is exceptional. The owners wanted it to be modern but in a classic style that respects the shape of the house. Knowing that we were redesigning the interior as well as the exterior of the house, I proposed to my clients to do something unique and outstanding, never seen before in Miami, so we designed the exterior of the house in a “French chateau-style” as we often see in France - My clients are very refined and loved the idea of having something completely different and brand-new - it's unprecedented in Miami and the result of the exterior of the house will be truly exceptional!

The interior of the house is definitely very modern and this is often the case with renovations in France for all the old buildings and even in the “Haussmanian” style apartments in Paris. The character and the old architecture are preserved while matching it with a contemporary interior design.

I find the result very interesting as a kind of respect for the past with a foot in the future. It is a kind of confrontation between the old and the modern that gives an unparalleled result.

The Standard reveals their first-ever residential project, The Standard Residences. In the heart of Midtown Miami, the development will be located in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods between the Design District and Wynwood.

The Standard Residences features 12 floors of residences and amenity spaces. Two hundred and twenty-eight pied-à-terre-style studios, one-bedrooms, one-bedrooms plus den, and two-bedrooms make up the collection of residences. Each residence is finished with light wood plank tile flooring and a gourmet kitchen with Italian cabinetry and Bosch appliances. The bathrooms are oversized and showcase stone vanities and double-suite rain showers.

At sidewalk level, the lobby is designed to interact with the streetscape. It will be a place where residents can connect, work, recharge, and unwind with areas to plug in or host informal meetings. The lobby café connects to an outdoor terrace and will serve cappuccinos, pastries, and fresh juices.

With a mix of amenities that are both energizing and relaxing, The Sweat Room offers a steam room, an infrared sauna, and a fully equipped yoga and stretch studio. The Stadium includes a pickleball court that doubles as a disco party room. Residents can play America’s fastest-growing sport in the comfort of an air-conditioned setting and then boogie-down the rest of the night. Social Lounge 21 is The Standard’s social floor that features a karaoke bar, screening room, fully equipped co-working spaces, zoom rooms, and a private boardroom.

On top of the building is a lushly landscaped rooftop. Here is where the 60-foot, resort-style sunset pool will be located. There will be direct access from the pool to The Standard’s signature rooftop restaurant and bar.

The Standard Residences combines a careful consideration of design, detail, and service with playfulness and fun to create an ‘anything but standard’ experience. This project was brought to life through the partnerships of Rosso Development and Midtown Development. Interiors were designed by renowned firm Urban Root in collaboration with The Standard’s in-house design team.

The St. Regis Residences is one of Miami’s most anticipated luxury developments. Located on the coastline of Brickell, The St. Regis will be made up of a 48-story east tower and a 47-story west tower. Prices will start at $2.8 million for 2,300 to 8,900 square foot residences.

Developed by Related Group and Integra Investments alongside premier brokerage ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, The St. Regis Residences, Miami has officially launched sales for its east tower. This sales launch coincides with the record-breaking demand for South Florida real estate as experienced by ONE Sotheby’s.

"As South Florida continues growing into a nexus of design, culture, and luxury, The Residences present a rare opportunity to call one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods home,” said Daniel de la Vega, President of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. “There is no doubt about it, 1809 Brickell Avenue will go down in history as one of Miami’s most significant addresses.”

The interior designs of the buildings by Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) and Rockwell Group combine The Regis brand’s iconic look with a Miami-inspired aesthetic.

“The interior concept for The Residences was inspired by Miami’s history as a major trading and travel hub from the 19th century to the present, as well as the city’s coastal location, unique ecosystem, and the building’s unparalleled views of the Biscayne Bay,” said Greg Keffer, Partner at Rockwell Group. “Land and sea travel had a transformative role in the development of South Florida, from the extension of the East Coast Railway to the establishment of the Port of Miami, which attracted travelers by train and cruise ship to explore the ‘magic city.’ All of these ideas have informed our interiors’ blend of leisure and luxury.”

There are over 60,000 square feet of hand-curated amenities on the property. Each tower of The St. Regis Residences includes a tearoom, fitness center, open-air exercise deck, golf VR room, sky-level bar, and numerous gathering spaces. A spa area with private treatment rooms as well as cold dip and regulation lap pools will serve as the central communal space connecting both towers.

Each of the east tower’s 149 residences will feature light oak cabinetry, bronze fixtures, and a stone-topped island. Master bathrooms will include separate double vanities, powder rooms, and freestanding bathtubs. Residences and guests of The St. Regis Residences, Miami will also be able to enjoy the brand’s signature butler service and a collection of museum-quality art throughout the buildings.

The Miami Design District announced the arrival of its first new Class A office building, The Ursa. Combining museum-quality art by Daniel Arsham with ten floors of office space, The Ursa will transform the work experience in its unique environment.

The Ursa is being developed by Miami Design District Associates. It is a joint venture between Dacra, L Catterton Real Estate, and Brookfield Properties. The fifteen-story building houses ten floors of office space. There are two retail spaces available on the ground floor and outdoor areas on every level. Included on each floor are a private balcony and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Also, the rooftop features an indoor/outdoor garden deck that all tenants can access.

“The Ursa is an exceptional addition to the Miami Design District. In keeping with our development approach, our emphasis was creating something that truly enhanced the built environment and added to the overall experience of being in this unique community. Bringing a dynamic office building offering to the Miami Design District is an important next step in the neighborhood’s evolution and we are so excited to watch it unfold. We know the District has so much to offer and businesses want to be a part of what we have built here. We cannot wait to welcome them,” said Mathieu Le Bozec, Managing Partner, L Catterton Real Estate.

Arquitectonica designed The Ursa to fit within the artistic neighborhood of the Design District. It features monumental artworks incorporated into the building’s façade. Famed contemporary artist and founder of architecture and design company Snarkitecture, Daniel Arsham, was inspired by Greek and Roman sculptural reliefs when creating these artworks. The Ursa’s interior art and furniture were also created by Arsham.

“Having an almost life-long personal presence and relationship within the Design District it’s an honor to be invited to collaborate with Dacra on The Ursa. The integration of the surrounding tropical landscape with world-class architecture, contemporary art, and design sums up, to me, what is special about Miami and this neighborhood specifically. I expect this building to become a landmark to the city and an important example of how art and architecture can coexist in exciting new ways,” said Daniel Arsham.

Located at 30 NE 39^th street, The Ursa is situated in an ideal location. Tenants will have access to the restaurants, stores, and cultural institutions of the surrounding Miami Design District. Direct accessibility to I-95 is another convenient aspect of the building’s location.

The Ursa is expected to be completed by fall 2024 and is now leasing. For more information visit theursa.com.

Cipriani is set to launch Cipriani Residences Miami, their first-ever ground-up residences in the United States. The brand-new 80-story tower will be located at 1420 South Miami Avenue. Reigning over Brickell, Cipriani Residences Miami will offer views of Biscayne Bay and Simpson Park.

Each of the 397 one- to four-bedroom residences will have a ten-foot-high ceiling, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a private outdoor space, and custom finishes and furnishings. Walk-in closets, standalone laundry rooms, and smart technology will also be included in each residence. Select residences will have access to elevators that open directly into the unit.

Cipriani created the modern design of the building in collaboration with Mast Capital and Arquitectonica. Founder and CEO of Mast Capital, Camilo Miguel Jr. said, “As an international symbol of elegance, style, and hospitality, with a vast, devoted following that spans four generations, Cipriani was our only choice for this project.”

“For four generations we have always tried to focus on our work, true to our values and honest with our customers,” Cipriani CEO, Giuseppe Cipriani explained. “This has allowed us to grow our name in over ten countries around the world and maintain a level of consistency that requires a lot of attention.”

Cipriani Residences Miami will also feature elegant, resort-style amenities. For food and drink, residents can enjoy a trademark Cipriani bar, resident-only dining, and private reservable dining rooms and lounges catered by Cipriani’s restaurant. Leisure facilities include two resort-style swimming pools, a fitness center, a spa with sauna and treatment rooms, a pickleball court, a golf simulator, and so much more. The residential tower will also provide a children’s playroom, library, dog park, hair salon, and barber station.

Cipriani told Forbes, “Miami has evolved tremendously attracting culture, business and entertainment, and guarantees and enviable quality of life. It is becoming a first or second residence for an increasing number of demanding and traveled individuals and families.” The Cipriani brand has already found success in Miami and upon the completion of Cipriani Residences Miami, its number of loyal customers will grow without a doubt.

One of Coral Gables most popular and beloved parks, Balboa Plaza, has just received a Coral Carpet to accompany the park's massive stone bench. The addition marks the completion of MG Developer's outdoor “living room” setting. 

The project was initiated in 2018 by the Miami based company MG Developer as a contribution to the city’s Art in Public Places program. MG Developer’s most recent addition to the park coincides with its ongoing mission to cement Miami and the surrounding area as one of the foremost living destinations in Florida, inside and out. 

The Coral Carpet, which spans the length of the 30-foot stone bench behind it, is an inlaid, terrazzo piece that depicts an intricate floral pattern representative of the city’s diverse and rich culture. The technique used in creating this installation was originally developed in Italy and reflects Coral Gables’ fascination with Mediterranean-style architecture. 

Both the terrazzo carpet and the stone bench are situated under one of Balboa Plaza’s massive banyan trees, making these recent additions the perfect place to lounge and take in the scenery with friends and family. 

For MG Developers, the Balboa Plaza project is the latest effort in filling the Coral Gables and Miami area with functional, aesthetically pleasing developments that serve to enrich the city for residents and visitors alike. For those who enjoy a sunny day at the park, Balboa Plaza’s latest addition is a must-see.

Guimar Urbina and Cheryl Kaufman

Cheryl Kaufman commissioned her home to be redesigned by esteemed luxury interior designer Guimar Urbina. Haute Design recently asked about the experience after Cheryl so kindly accepted to take the time and share her thoughts.

Additional images of the residence seen throughout this article can be seen here.

Haute Design: You have such a lovely home. What were some of the main things you wanted Guimar to do with this space?

Cheryl Kaufman: I wanted Guimar to transform our home from a Mediterranean style to a more contemporary style and to execute a complete renovation with which we would be proud to use for entertaining. I could not visualize what I wanted but Guimar was brilliant with reading between the lines when we went through some images of rooms I liked. When Guimar made her presentation of her proposal for our home, my husband Dana and I were completely by the beauty and creativity with which she captured our vision for living in our renovated home.

HD: How did you discover Guimar? What was your favorite part about working with her?

CK: I actually. discovered Guimar on Houzz, believe it or not. I met with a few designers that were recommended to me but they didn't wow me enough to want to begin renovating our home. I then discovered Houzz and poured through each and every designer South Florida. I came across of project photo from Guimar Urbina Interiors and it seemed to be exactly what I wanted. I love how she did a lot of the leg work before we met, which saved a lot of time. If there was something I did not like, she helped find an alternative. If she thought I was making a mistake, she gently made me aware of it and told me why it might not be the right choice. Guimar met with me often and always kept us informed about our budget and what to expect next. When we would visit stores to choose furniture, it was clear Guimar has strong relationships with so many of the vendors. I felt I was in excellent hands.

HD: There are plenty of accents of wood throughout the home, yet it is not overbearing - quite the opposite. Was that a feature you already had in mind or did Guimar make the suggestion? 

CK: The wood was completely Guimar's idea. The built-ins, the placement of the dining room, the blending into structural columns which needed to remain for foundational purposes, as well as the fabulous wooden custom doors to our bedroom suite - it was all Guimar's idea.

HD: The artwork and decorations add subtle yet impactful nots of color throughout the mostly neutral-shaded home. Are these art pieces and decorations yours or did Guimar help pick these out? 

CK: Guimar chose the pop of color on the oversized chair in the family room as well as in the throw pillows and other accessories. She even drew colors out from some of our artwork when she chose our accessories. While many of the accessories were chosen by Guimar, some we already had but just didn’t know how to properly place them and group them. Guimar helped us find the correct use for them. With respect to the artwork, we had most of it but Guimar recommended that we reframe them. She me with me at the framing store to help us to choose new frames for each of our hanging art pieces. After reframing our hanging art, she came to the house and assisted us with choosing the perfect spot for each piece. After everything was placed, we engaged Guimar to assist us with filling a few empty walls. Guimar helped me choose the size of the custom artwork piece above our bed, painted by the very talented artist, J. Steven Manolis.

HD: What would you say to anyone who might be reading this and is currently looking for a luxury interior designer in South Florida?

CK: As I have said to many of my friends, I had a wonderful experience with Guimar and her team. They were extremely creative, professional, talented and everything I could have asked for in a design team. Not only did Guimar's team have incredible vision, they stuck to time schedules and budget!  I highly recommend Guimar to my friends, family and clients. I was so lucky to have come across Guimar.

Haute Design: What made you fall in love with design?

Hafsa Burt (hb+a Architects): I’d say the ability to imagine the impossible and be able to plan it out so it becomes real. As designers/architects, we have the ability to solve technical and conceptual problems, which is the reason why I fell in love with design. The potential of realizing a concept by taking it to paper and eventually making it a product is quite an addictive process. I have always loved walking through spaces and landscapes and imagining what they could become. It’s a bit of a theater in your head that you organize and churn out functional spaces or objects.

Rita Chraibi (International Designers by Rita Chraibi): What made me fall in love with design was the ability as an to project myself into a space as an interior designer before it's even been realized. It is an absolutely fascinating and marvelous process which is to imagine and create what comes to me as an inspiration and to be able to express it. It's exactly the same process a painter would go through in front of their white canvas.

I fell madly in love with the design process and the power to make things imagined and inspired come true and become concrete. It is absolutely a unique discovery!

Guimar Urbina (Guimar Urbina Interiors): The connection with fashion. You don't have to like it, you have to love it. That's what I feel every time I make a design that I present to my clients. I must fall in love with the concept to be able to present or sell it. The place where you live or work must have a connection with your personality, your lifestyle, and what you want to reflect of yourself onto others. Many people think they know what they want but many make mistakes. Love is like choosing a good or bad partner. You must get the connection.

Guimar Urbina

Leslie Saul (Leslie Saul & Associates): The Dalai Lama said, "Happiness is when you lose track of time." I have always felt happiness and joy when I get involved in an art or design project. I think my love of design came in part from my mother, who was very much into design. My mother also had a perfect color memory, so that if we were out shopping, she knew how to choose something new to go with something old, and when we got home, the colors would match perfectly. Perhaps my love of design and my love for my mother are intertwined.

Kevin O’Leary, famously known as Shark Tank’s Mr. Wonderful, visited E11EVEN Residences Beyond’s sales gallery for a Yupix virtual tour. He and his wife, Linda O’Leary, were amazed by the life-like experience of the meta-reality.

“The level of detail really is incredible. The view is unbelievably real,” O’Leary said about the experience. As Kevin and his wife toured the property and its amenities, words such as, “mind-blowing, incredible, crazy, and amazing,” were frequently used by them to express their astonishment. Kevin also acknowledged the innovative technology that was used to make this virtual reality experience possible.

Dr. Humza Arif offers an update on the office's construction and design.

Haute Design: What is the build update of the most-awaited dental practice in Miami?

Dr. Humza Arif: The inspirations from following leaders in the space has been ongoing and we continue to build kliniko Miami - Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry for completion date of April 2022.

HD: How has the process from design to build gone?

Dr. HA: It has been a very humbling experience. Taking an internal idea and capturing it so beautifully on paper as Yodezeen Architects has been able to do confirms the partnership kliniko and Yodezeen has formed. My team and I feel so grateful for what our patients will be able to experience. As we are now in the physical construction phase, it is becoming more and more tangible. The element of design simply cannot be overstated.

HD: Has your background helped in this process?

Dr. HA: As you know, I have always had an underlying passion for architectural form and function. I have applied the craft of dentistry as it relates to oral health and have kept the highest standards for both. Much like in the creation for a beautiful smile, we have been relentless in our pursuit for the ultimate space. Seeing the progression of kliniko as made tangible by our contractors under the guidance of Yodezeen has captured that idea with such precision.

Photo Credit: kliniko Miami

HD: Do you have any design concepts our readers can see as we await fro the grand opening of kliniko Miami?

Dr. HA: Absolutely. I am thrilled to share some our photos with you. We have a phenomenal creative director and you'll be able to see photos throughout our social media platforms, including the kliniko Miami Instagram , the kliniko Miami Flickr page, as well as Haute Living.

HD: As we continue to move through 2022, what insights or advice would you give others who are on similar journeys of design?

Dr. HA: The concept of self as made tangible through spaces we experience should be exactly that. Let your own internal experiences flow outward in the design you want to capture. Don't settle for anything less than that. Our place in the world is to partake in the experiences of others and give of ourselves for the betterment of those experiences. Moving into this new year of 2022, we should always remember that we are one - architecture and design brings us together to share, experience and to be a vessel for pushing the boundaries of what we know.

Leslie Saul recently discussed how she approaches each design project and shared some lessons she has learned throughout her successful career.

Haute Design: You have nearly 30 years of experience in running and operating your own design and architecture firm. What is the most valuable lesson you have learned during that time?

Leslie Saul: Do the right thing, even if it's hard. You will build trust and loyalty with your clients, suppliers, vendors, contractors, artisans and employees.

HD: What is your favorite part about serving the Cambridge, Massachusetts region?

LS: We love New England and South Florida! While people might associate New England's climate with snow storms, it is the design climate here that makes our work so fun. Additionally, our clients and team members are extraordinarily smart and collaborative.

HD: When approaching a new design project, what is the first thing on your mind?

LS: Who are the people who will be living in this house? What makes them different from other clients? Even if we have done the same program many times, each client and each site or setting is different. We specialize in additions and major renovations, so we think about the big picture to start. Later, we think about some wonderful, personalized details that can make a difference in our clients' lives.

Photo Credit: Matt Delphenich

HD: What is typically the most difficult room to work on within an interior design project?

LS: The hardest rooms to design are the multi-purpose rooms. My theory of 'keep it simple' is put to the test when one space must serve many uses. We were hired to design a studio apartment in Manhattan, and there was a whole lot of living going on in a small space. Whenever faced with the impossible, I think about the creativity of the RISD environment and try to imagine, 'what can be?'

HD: To what do you attribute the continued success of your firm?

LS: When you like to create bespoke spaces tailored to your clients' needs and dreams, and when you like to work collaboratively with the client and the team of builders and the artisans who bring those dreams to life, it's so much fun! The process is part of the fun of making good design. Luckily, our wonderful clients keep coming back for more.

Also, I try to express my appreciation for everyone involved in every project. My mother taught me to write thank you notes.

What could have easily been a gut renovation, became instead a thoughtful plan to update and personalize the interiors while respecting the existing 1950s-era architecture of a 2,000 square-foot home in the prestigious North Bay Road neighborhood. "The bones were quite workable," says Luciana Fragali, the architect and designer who leads the team at Design Solutions Miami. Retaining the integrity of the structure also meant preserving the original wood beam ceiling over the dining room. "It's part of the '50s vernacular of Miami, now a part of history," Fragali says. To maximize the aesthetic but still achieve their design goals, they left walled-in private courtyards on the exterior, but removed the pebbled covered flooring and overgrown vegetation with a wooden desk and Kettal outdoor furnishings. "We wanted to emphasize more tropical modernism, less mid-century," she adds with a laugh.

Fragali, who has clients all over the world, grew up in Brazil, a country known for its rich interior design influence. She is known for creating homes with functional beauty. "We do not only deal with logistics, but also create space for each client's own life. How they work and entertain - we love to get into their worlds. It's what drives our aesthetic."

These clients realized they needed more space for their children and grandchildren. So, in 2016 they bought the sprawling residence with an 8,000 square-foot lot after searching for three years. The wife, who was also born in Brazil, already knew Fragali. The leader of the DS Miami team had previously designed and oversaw the renovation of their daughter's Brickell apartment. "They're from a famous, renowned design firm and we knew them socially," the wife reveals when asked how she initially heard of Luciana Fragali. "Luciana had given us great advice during our daughter's project, so I trusted her implicitly."

With a masterful use of rich hues, luxurious furnishings and refined finishes, the interior came alive. The restored wooden beam ceiling adds drama and anchors the dining area, cresting intimacy in the immense space. The massive round, wood Taj dining table - a Luan Del Savio design - balances out the delicate leaves of light that grace the coronal silhouette of the Moooi Heracleum Small Big O LED Chandelier overhead. The client says guests love to linger long after dinner is over. Leather caramel-colored chairs by Marcelo Ligieri balance out the room.

In the living room, Fragali had her heart set on cheerful vibes. "But I wanted to also have a sophisticated and relaxed feel," she adds. Life and color are brought into the space via the accessories, rug, Missoni pillows and a beautiful Palessandro marble slab used for the TV wall unit. A unique piece is the light blue Denny sofa by Anima Domus in pampas leather. It adds the perfect touch to the overall design.

Paying careful attention to the concept of indoor/outdoor living, Fragali designed rooms to draw the exterior inward and the eye outward. The flowing spaces - from the open-plan kitchen, to the sunroom, to the outdoor pergola - were adapted to suit a family. "Everything in the house, even though it is beautiful, is extremely comfortable and durable for the family. They didn't want to worry about fragile fabric," says Fragali.

When it was time to renovate the outdoor area, the dated kidney bean-shaped pool, former BBQ area and scalloped awning were demolished. Fragali redesigned the pool, patio and landscaping. The pool deck, bright with Kettal outdoor furniture, has multiple areas for the family and the children's friends to hang out, sun bathe or read. The additional space helped the family through COVID-19 lockdowns, remote schooling and zoom calls.

"When you have a long relationship with your client (we've been friends over 10 years), it makes the job easy and comfortable," Fragali reveals. "This is the result of a great relationship with a client and friend."

Last month, the automotive brand Bentley Motors announced their foray into the luxury resident market with their plans for Bentley Residences Miami, a high-end condominium tower that will serve as an exciting addition to the Sunny Isles Beach area upon its completion in 2026. In maintaining their tradition of quality and excellence, Bentley Motors has partnered with Dezer Development, one of the most prominent and innovative property developers in the Sunshine State. Since 1985, company owner Michael Dezer has established himself as an impressive presence on the coasts of Florida and has become one of the largest holders of beachfront property in the state. To date, Dezer's company has earned over $3.6 billion in sales between their South Florida and New York developments.

As of this month, Bentley has unveiled a sales gallery for their upcoming residence. The 12,000 sqft. showcase will offer prospective buyers a chance to preview the tower’s breathtaking condominiums with a fully realized 6,000 sqft. model located within. Each of the tower’s 216 units will comprise both indoor and outdoor living areas, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows providing a stunning view of the Miami beachfront and waterways. Additionally, future residents can look forward to their own private balcony with a swimming pool, a sauna, and an outdoor shower. Striving to provide unique, world class accommodations for their clients, Bentley Motors will continue its one-of-a-kind approach to all things automotive by equipping each unit with a multi-car garage and patented ‘Dezervator’. The drive-in elevator will allow residents to store their vehicles with ease of mind while also displaying them alongside the unit. The tower will also host a wide variety of luxurious amenities, including a residents-only restaurant, a carefully curated bar and cigar lounge, a movie theater, an expensive fitness center, and dazzling communal gardens.

Located at 18325 Collins Avenue and operating from 10AM - 6PM, seven days a week, the Bentley Residences sales gallery will reflect the variety of lavish features slated for the tower. Upon entering the gallery, future residents can expect to be greeted by a floating abstract sculpture commissioned by Bentley Motors, an aesthetic inclusion that conveys their elegant and innovative approach to their craft. Upon completion of the tower, the sculpture will be installed and displayed outside of the structure. Inside the gallery, the showcase will include a theater room as well as a fully stocked bar and lounge that will be hosting a variety of events for parties interested in the upcoming residence. Prospective buyers will also have the opportunity to experience a curated walk-through of the model unit, complete with table tastings offered by the on-site chef. For individuals looking to become more closely acquainted with the Bentley brand and their upcoming projects, the gallery will have a dedicated Bentley Brand Room, where a testament to the tradition of British craftsmanship will be on display.

Stefano was born and raised in Miami, FL, and is the Vice President of his family’s Design-Build company, Balli Group. He is responsible for Development Opportunities, Construction Management, and Sales. He earned dual Bachelor of Business Administration Degrees from Florida International University, specializing in Finance and Real Estate. He also holds a Florida Real Estate Sales Associate license.

Stefano shares his father’s passion for real estate development and values the importance of the process. His strong appreciation and knowledge of Architecture and Construction allow him to bring unparalleled expertise to his clients. Stefano specializes in luxury single-family residences.

Recently, he shared his expert opinions with Haute Residence regarding his specific market, what has led to his success, and what he sees for the future.

Haute Residence: What were the effects of COVID in the housing market?

Stefano Balli: Over the past two years, we’ve seen a strong migration to Florida. Now, one can say it is primarily from COVID-19, but this migration has always been in place. South Florida, specifically Miami, has always been a vacation or winter trip for thousands of Americans. COVID-19 expedited and amplified it due to certain health and living conditions in other states. Specific areas I’ve seen the most demand in are in the Southern Gables Gated Comminutes such as Gables Estates, Snapper Creek Lakes, and Hammock Lakes. This is primarily due to the average size of the property, privacy, proximity to great schools and local restaurants.

HR: Why should someone buy in your market?

SB: The quality of life is very high, there are a number of great schools, parks, shops, restaurants, marinas, and parks to support a local lifestyle all while only a 20-minute car ride to Downtown Miami, Brickell, and the sorts.

HR: What sets you apart from other realtors?

SB: Working in the Construction/Development industry for the past 10 years and having a background in Architecture/Design has allowed me to advise and guide my clients on the right purchase. There are several variables when purchasing a home or property that can be costly if not vetted correctly.

HR: What do you see for the future of your market this coming year?

SB: I’m optimistic about what the next couple of years have in store, specifically for the luxury markets in South Florida. Miami is a young city comparatively speaking with much more room to grow, both vertically and horizontally. With limited supply for the foreseeable future and demand continuing through the end of 2021, I believe there’s more room to run.

While no one could have anticipated the unprecedented circumstances in which the world has found itself over the past two years, principal at MS2 Design, Michael Scigliano, reveals he designed his business to be able to function under any condition.

Haute Design: With the global pandemic going into its second full year, how has MS2 Design Studio adapted to this “new normal?” Was the beginning of the pandemic a particular shock in terms of business?

Michael Scigliano: Before opening MS2 Design Studio in 2010, the original business plan took into consideration the lessons that were learned from the previous firms that I had worked with. One firm had gone out of business because of the 2008 recession and the other because of conflicts with the partners. I made a conscious decision to keep our firm more boutique; therefore, eliminating the need for a large office space and the corresponding overhead.

Our team has always worked from home when possible and we meet when needed. This boutique design also kept us from bringing on too many employees and therefore, not needing too many projects at once. We’re able to hand-select the projects that challenge and interest us.

I’m humbled that MS2 Design Studio has thrived these past two years; having two of the best years in our history. This pandemic has negatively impacted so many companies and my heart goes out to all those that have fallen on hard times.

HD: What are some of the ways you have managed to maintain your high standards throughout all of this?

MS: Managing our high standards during the pandemic was actually easier than expected. Being stuck inside and having nothing else to concentrate on but work, made getting our job done much easier. There was literally nothing to do…but work. The beginning of the pandemic, March- May 2020, was surreal for everyone. Trying to make sure we were still taking care of our clients, while they were stuck in their own homes, helped to take the focus off being stuck at home ourselves.

Photo Credit: MS2 Design Studio

HD: How have you managed client expectations throughout the pandemic?

MS: We’ve been blessed that our clients have been very understanding to the current situation. Being business owners themselves, they understood that the entire world was being affected and that those delays would impact their projects as well. Oddly enough, within the last year and a half, we finished a gut renovation in Miami Beach at the Continuum and a design project at 40 Bleecker in New York City, in record time. The team we’ve assembled has gone above and beyond to keep things on track.

HD: Given the amount of time folks have been forced to remain indoors, have any of your residential design plans changed?

MS: The biggest change we have noticed is that we have signed several new projects from clients moving to the Miami area from New York and California. The need to have a home with combined indoor and outdoor social areas became a necessity to see friends and family in a somewhat-safe environment. This made Miami more popular than ever. Add to that, major companies changing to “work from home” formats, living in a warm, open-air environment, just seemed like the best choice. The exploding Miami real estate market is a clear sign of that.

HD: What is the biggest takeaway you've gotten from these unprecedented times?

MS: My biggest takeaway from all this change, is that HOME is the most important place. It doesn’t matter how big your home is or how many things you have, but having a sanctuary where you feel safe and can detox from all that the world is throwing at you, is incredibly important. When you aren’t allowed outside or allowed to live a normal life, your home is where you gather with those you love.  It’s the place you celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. The feeling of “being home and safe” has become paramount to our physical and mental well-being. And we get to design those spaces for our clients.

Stefano Balli, Vice President of Balli Group, recently spoke to Haute Design and explained what sets Balli Group apart and how he approaches his work in Coral Gables area.

Haute Design: How did you get your start in the business?

Stefano Balli: The company began over 40 years ago when my grandfather, Giorgio Balli Sr., first migrated to Miami from Lima, Peru. He designed and worked alongside some of South Florida's most prominent developers throughout the '80s, working on about 80% of Cocoplum, a gated community in South Coral Gables. Years later, my father Giorgio Balli joined the firm, adding new pillars to the Group - architecture, interior design and construction/development. He has since designed and developed over 350 private residences. I have joined the Group, alongside my father, to continue designing and developing luxury residences throughout South Florida. Since then, we've broken records on each development we've completed.

HD: Describe a design-build company and what The Balli Group does. 

SB: I like to label The Balli Group as a vertically-integrated development firm. We have the ability to guide a client based on budget and desires, from conception to reality. Our pillars include architecture, interior design and construction. We connect with our clients to make sure we deliver a product of the highest quality, while maintaining certain budgets and metrics.

Photo Credit: The Balli Group

HD: What is unique about your market?

SB: We approach each project as if it were a work of art. It takes time, but once completed, it exudes luxury, quality and warmth. We approach each product differently and can adapt to any style, design, and/or program. Our primary market focus remains in the gated communities of South Coral Gables, but we currently have over 25 projects throughout the municipalities in Miami as well as Ft. Lauderdale.

HD: Which design trends have caught your eye recently?

SB: We continue to see trends catered to wellness, privacy, space and technology. We foresee these trends continuing into the coming years. The trend for more space has actually reversed its course since 2019, where we saw the consumer requesting less space for both living and total. Whereas now, each home we design and/or develop has a dedicated office space, a gym or spa, large exterior areas for sporting activities, lush landscaping, fully-integrated smart home technology and advanced security. We're interested in the advancement of solar technology and what that may bring in the coming years as well.

Dr. Arif recently shared some insight into his exciting new offices and how his practice will be elevating the standard of healthcare in the South Florida region.

Haute Design: You have been generating quite the interest with kliniko Miami. Can you tell us more about what is to be expected from the new-aged dental practice?

Dr. Humza Arif: kliniko Miami Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry in Coral Gables is an expression of what the standard of dental health should be. Our mission is to elevate our standard of healthcare, specifically within the arts of dentistry. To complement oral care, the space of our craft has been beautifully expressed with the hands of renowned architects. I partnered with Yodezeen architects to help capture the internal vision I had for a space of wellness, health and beauty. I'm happy to know it has been so well-received by our community in Miami.

HD: The photography we have seen so far has been impeccable. It's hard to believe it's even a dental practice at all. 

Dr. HA: Correct! Every experience we have in this world shapes how we live, how we function, and how we interact with one another. At kliniko, patients will feel a rebirth and rejuvenation. It is the care of the soul through dentistry in an environment unlike any other. We are making the metaverse real.

HD: kliniko's space and design does resemble something that one would see in the metaverse. Do you think it would translate to a digital space?

Dr. HA: The beauty of architecture and design is based on the evoked feelings it brings to surface. It is such an exciting world we live in today and the thoughts of the future know no bounds. The moment you step onto our floor in Coral Gables you will be taken into an environment that we are not used to. The tapestry of hospitality, design, and dental arts will formulate into new senses, new experiences, and most importantly new standards of health for our community. We want to be your beacon of what to expect from now on. Our space does just that.

HD: What else can we expect from you in world of design?

Dr. HA: kliniko Miami will forever be in a state of ongoing growth and pushing new architectural boundaries. Miami and the gables are such unique areas to live and practice and we are so fortunate to express ourselves through multiple mediums. I would suggest to follow me on Instagram as well as the kliniko Miami page for the latest. We love sharing with Haute Living and its readers.

Cozy recently shared her thoughts behind separating work life and personal life in a conversation with Haute Design.

Haute Design: As you know, the design and architecture industry's "hours of operation" are anything but standard. How do you find the balance between career and personal life?

Cozy Salazar: I still struggle with this on a daily basis. I really love what I do and sometimes I have a hard time separating my 'work life' with my personal life.  I tend to bring work home with me regularly, but as long as I leave the more stressful aspects of this job at the office, everyone is happy (or at least they pretend to be).

HD: Your children are often featured in your Instagram stories at work. Do they enjoy going to work with mom? Are they old enough to understand your line of work?

CS: I had my first daughter when my career started to pick up and that was tough. At the time, I did not have a full-time nanny, so Gianna went with me everywhere. I think it's because of this that she is so interested in everything I do. I bring her into the office for a couple of hours every week because she loves to be here. There are times where I'll be at a presentation and we find pieces of wallpaper and fabric samples that have little drawings on the back, which always makes me smile. Chiara, my youngest is only two, but I can already tell she has a good eye based off the shoes she picks out of my closet!

Photo Credit: Cozy Salazar Interiors

HD: Did you have a similar experience growing up? Would you ever go to work with your parents?

CS: Yes, my mom was always a working mom. I did not get to spend every minute with her, but the time we spent together was always special. She would take me into her office when I got out of school and I would always find ways to entertain myself there. She would always take me out for dinner afterward or sing in the car with me on the way home, and would always read me a book before bed.

HD: Have your girls expressed any desire to follow in your design footsteps? Do they ever share design input?

CS: They're still very little but I would love for one of them, if not both, to catch the design bug! It would be so special for me to teach them what I know, and to leave this to them one day. My oldest is very opinionated when she comes into the office, and although she may not know what she is doing, she definitely knows what she does and does not like, which is a crucial asset for decision-making in this business.

New developments are hitting downtown Miami including the newly announced "Riverside Wharf" project which will also involve a 165-key Dream Miami luxury hotel by Dream Hotel Group. This world-class waterfront destination will be a new paradigm for the city's entertainment and hospitality industries. The 1.5 acres, two-tower project is being developed by MV Real Estate Holdings and Driftwood Capital and will also include a world-class nightclub, a rooftop day club with two pools, banquet halls, event spaces, and a private marina capable of accommodating megayachts.

“Riverside Wharf will be a destination for entertainment unlike any Miami has seen, bringing together world-class entertainment and hospitality offerings to a unique waterfront destination with direct Intracoastal access to the ocean,” said Miami developer Alex Mantecon of MV Real Estate Holdings. “We are excited to finally bring to fruition the dream and vision Miami has had for its riverfront entertainment district which until now has historically sat vacant and underutilized.”

This project was announced by MV Real Estate Holdings in conjunction with Driftwood Capital, one of the country’s leading hospitality sponsors. When complete, the $185 million mixed-use development will anchor the developing Miami River District, one of Miami’s fastest-growing downtown neighborhoods with direct Intracoastal access to the ocean.

Riverside Wharf will transform the storied Miami River district while paying homage to the historic fishing culture of the neighborhood by celebrating the area’s beloved Garcia’s Fish Market with a pop-up seafood market on the grounds, where locals can get the freshest catch daily.

“Miami is a top international destination for world-class hospitality and entertainment, and continues to set the bar with exciting new experiences for travelers unlike anything else in the world,” said Mayor of Miami Francis Suarez. “Dream Miami at Riverside Wharf will be an unparalleled development in the heart of Miami for visitors and locals alike, and I couldn't be more excited to see it launch."

The development is slated to break ground in 2022 and be completed by 2025. It is designed by Jon Cardello of Cube3 architects with landscape design by Savino-Miller Design Studio and is sure to be a welcome addition to beautiful downtown Miami.
