Grupo Arca is the leading global platform in natural stones and raw materials of the highest quality. With showrooms in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Wynwood in Miami, it is a favorite of Mexico-based architects and interior designers, offering them premium building materials: wood flooring from France, an array of masonry bricks, Italian-fabricated engineered stone, and exotic natural stone from around the globe.

The Miami Gallery is Arca's current headquarters for its showroom. It marks the Mexican company's first commitment toward internationalization.

The Mexican company's Miami homebase is an absolute stunner and adds a lovely touch to the Wynwood community's aesthetic and appearance. The Danish artistic group, SUPERFLEX, was commissioned to imagine the Arca Wynwood's facade. The group is comprised of three artists known for blending art, science and activism. Titled “Like A Force of Nature,” the artists use ARCA’s ceramic tiles designed by Hector Esrawe to create an installation that explores the contradiction of the two phenomena of currency and color merging with the naturally recurring Fibonacci mathematic sequence of numbers. Following a color palette inspired by the tones of Mexican banknotes, the work of art underlines the overwhelming experience of our current economic systems as natural as volcanoes or tsunamis, almost like a force of nature.

Arca recently welcomed luxury interior designer Cara Woodhouse at their Wynwood Design Center.

Over the past three months, Nomada Residences reported record-breaking average occupancy rates of units at Quadro of over 80% for studios, 92% for 1-bedrooms, and 88% for 2-bedrooms, with average nightly rates between $180 and $300 per night. Reported revenues for these also surpassed more than two times the revenue over a long-term lease, which is usually 12 months or more.

“I truly see the potential for developments with flexible ownership like Quadro, especially now that we are seeing more and more people relocating to South Florida, mostly from the Northeast. Some don’t have a long-term plan in mind yet, and that’s when we come in with the ideal product for them,” said Raimundo Onetto, Alta Developers’ Principal & CEO.

According to the short-term rental manager, around the beginning of 2020 in March, the units at Quadro were fully booked until cancellations started coming in around Mid-March when COVID-19 hit South Florida. Later on, the City of Miami completely shut down hotel and short-term operations until the quarantine was lifted in June when short-term rentals started picking up again. Domestic snowbirds from the entire East Coast started heading to Miami to get out of the cold weather and even stay for a few months. Even though rentals started to pick up, there was a curfew in effect up until December, which kept occupancy rates lower than during normal times at around 50% average for studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedrooms at Quadro Miami Design District.

“Quadro has become a preferred destination for all sorts of guests, both short-term and for an extended period, including young professionals that want a change of scenery and a nice place to work out of, group of friends, and a few families here and there, all the way from South America to West and East U.S., “ the Manager said.

Quadro Miami Design District buyers can purchase a condo and hire Nomada Residences for unit management, which includes short-term, seasonal, and long-term rentals. Buyers can live in the unit for a few months, and rent out the rest, boasting flexibility and performance. They also have the option to buy a unit with a long-term tenant already in place and let Nomada Residences handle the rental. Additionally, and exclusively at Quadro, buyers can choose one of the turnkey interior design packages available for purchase from Sette Interior Design.

Ready for immediate purchase or move-in, the residences feature a wide selection of amenities including stainless steel appliances, and washer and dryer, a private balcony with stunning city and bay views, high-ceilings ranging from 9 feet to 13 feet, floor-to-ceiling windows in select units, sleek compact quartz countertops in kitchen and bathrooms, European self-closing cabinetry, custom designer lighting packages, Bluetooth keyless entry, NEST thermostats, Italian porcelain tile throughout, modern-white roller shades, as well as open concept kitchen and living room.

Art and real estate has become one of the world’s most prominent partnerships and Miami is home to some of the greatest collaborations yet. This year, Quadro Miami Design District collaborated with Design Miami offering their exhibitors and VIPs special accommodations within their distinct designer-themed residences that come replete with curated furniture packages and amenities exclusively for short-term, seasonal, or long-term use.

The residences at Quadro are nestled in the heart of this city’s trendsetting creative hub and offers its residents and guests more than 500 custom art pieces and installations of contemporary art created by Art with DNA under the direction of artist, Francisco Del Rio. Each floor, across the 2 sleek, 12-story towers, has its own artistic theme and color to create exclusivity.

“When we started discussing art for the project, I decided to hand the entire project to Francisco, allowing him to openly create landmark pieces that would make Quadro the true connection between the Bay and the Miami Design District it is today” – said Raimundo Onetto, Principal & CEO of Alta Developers.

His installations are an ode to South Florida's seashore, taking inspiration from the cascading waves, vivid marine life and coastal flora within reach. The main entry point makes a breathtaking first impression, welcoming residents and guests into the valet area landscaped with a lush living wall and canopy of gold-toned sculptures suspended from the porte cochère – hundreds of steel mobiles that spin as wind wafts through the breezeway, evoking the luminous movements in a school of fish. The lobby's dramatic blue columns lead to more layers of art, each floor marked with a three-dimensional composition Del Rio painted to play up distinct color schemes representing levels of the ocean and the myriad vibrant organisms inhabiting deep waters pierced by sunrays or shaded by moonlight.

Headquartered in Chile, Art with DNA specializes in creating installations that reflect the identity of a property and its neighboring environment. Over more than a decade, Del Rio has become well known for working with a wide range of architects, interior designers and real estate developers to infuse artwork into the fabric of award-winning office spaces and residential projects across the globe.

Del Rio worked closely with Principal & CEO of Alta Developers, South Florida’s innovative real estate development firm, Raimundo Onetto to ensure the property’s artistic vision came to life.

“The greatest challenge was to develop the building’s identity, making it different, unique and letting it stand out from every other building development in the area,” said Del Rio. “Also, we wanted to create a continuous art experience for residents and visitors, giving unity to the whole building, conversing vis-a-vis with the architecture of every corner.”

“Being located in the Miami Design District we knew that art was going to play a significant role in the development process,” said Onetto.

The Design District is home to numerous galleries, prestigious private collections, and large-scale works by world-renowned contemporary artists nestled amid the lavishly appointed boutiques of the top international fashion houses and jewelers, including Fendi, BVLGARI, Balenciaga, Cartier, Hermès, Van Cleef & Arpels, Prada and Gucci. A mutual focus on original expression, bold lines and fine details guided Alta Developers as it set out to make a substantial contribution that enhances the location’s signature features.

Haute Residence: How do you work with clients in narrowing down and choosing the type of scent to incorporate into their home?                 

Farah Abassi: When working with a client to find the perfect scent for their home, a multitude of things has to be considered. All of our fragrances are designed around the principles of Aromachology which is the study of how scent has the ability to affect our mood and emotions. It’s important that we know how the client wants to feel when they are in their home so we can suggest a scent that is congruent with the overall feeling of the space. For example, a space that is bright, fresh and energizing will benefit from a scent that is crisp and uplifting. If the home is warm and inviting, we’ll suggest scents with woodsy or herbaceous undertones that evoke feelings of groundedness and comfort. 

HR: How important is a scent to a home?  

FA: Scent is an accessory that’s often overlooked in the design of a home. But just as important as one’s choice in furniture, lighting and artwork, scent adds depth and character to a space. As the only sense that is directly linked to emotions and memories, scent is perhaps the most important facet of a home’s aesthetic; bringing together all the design elements to create a complete experience for whoever walks into your home.

Photo courtesy of Farah Abassi | Aroma 360

HR: Walk us through the process of consultation to then getting Aroma set up in a home.  

FA: The process of choosing a scent starts with a short consultation with a fragrance specialist that includes discussions about the desired mood/ambiance and overall design elements including color schemes and lighting. From there, based on the size of the home and AC configuration, we will provide a recommendation as to what diffusers are needed to help the client accomplish their desired results. We have solutions for spaces as small as 800 square feet all the way up to 20,000 square feet so we provide a tailored offering that is unique to each client. 

HR: What is your most popular scent and is there a trend between the location of the home and what scent the client gravitates to? 

FA: We do see a variation in scent preferences across locations. Since our scent preference is largely dictated around scents we’ve been exposed to during our childhood, there are bound to be cultural variances. The company was founded in Miami and over the past few years we’ve expanded to New York, the Caribbean and the Middle East so our scent library has expanded to accommodate these differences. We do have a few scents that are extremely popular across a broad range of geographical areas such as “My Way” and “London Calling”.

Photo courtesy of Farah Abassi | Aroma 360

HR: How did you get started with Aroma 360?

FA: I have been working in fragrance for over 17 years; my background was heavily focused on essential oils. In 2012 I moved to the US and I struggled to find a product that I could use in my home as I’m highly sensitive to synthetic fragrances. Aroma360 was born out of necessity as I saw a large void for a healthy scenting option the home fragrance industry.

HR: Are there any upcoming projects you are working on that you’re excited to share with us?

FA: We just opened up our first showroom in Miami and we will be opening up more locations in key markets around the country. We have also partnered with a few incredible artists and luxury brands and will be launching some co-branded home fragrance lines that will launch in the next 3 months which we are extremely excited about.
