A selection of the work. Across sectors, across continents.

A menswear boutique measured in hand‑painted tiles. A corporate campus measured in acres. A seawall measured against the tide. Same firm, same standard, same leadership.

Brickell City Centre, Miami, Florida

Luca Faloni

A flagship for an Italian luxury menswear house, built inside one of Miami's busiest retail environments and drawn from the vocabulary of Miami Beach's Art Deco district.

The completed Luca Faloni shopfront at night: brushed brass frame and arched vitrines under a travertine fascia, the lit interior visible through the doors.
Brickell City Centre, after close

We worked with Italian and American architects across two continents to bring this one together — PlaC in Turin holding the design, our team in Miami translating it into a permitted, buildable American project and executing it on site. A bare shell at Brickell City Centre became a flagship that reads as unmistakably the brand's own.

The ceiling is the room's quiet trick: a false ceiling of multilayer wood and stretched sheets that also does the work of the general lighting, throwing it diffused across the floor rather than down onto the merchandise. Below it, fixtures are walnut veneer on metal structures, topped in Travertino marble, with boiserie panels clad in Luca Faloni's own brushed cotton. The floor is a carpet of hand‑painted cement tile, and tropical planting runs the length of the room.

Every one of those finishes had to be executed to a European retail standard inside an operating mall, against a fixed opening date, with the design team four thousand miles away. That is the part of the job that does not photograph — so below, it does.

Two What it took

Studs, ceiling grid, screed, materials, glazing, joinery. Every stage run inside a mall that never closed.

Palm Bay Tower, Miami, Florida

Palm Bay Tower

Two apartments stripped to bare concrete and rebuilt as one 6,000 square foot residence on Biscayne Bay, laid out to work with the tower's curve instead of against it.

The completed open plan at Palm Bay Tower: bar and kitchen island in black-veined stone, seating beyond, sheer curtains along the bay windows.

The starting point was two separate units on one floor, each with its own elevator lobby. Everything inside them came out — partitions, framing, conduit, ductwork, pipework — down to bare structure. That is the only honest way to combine two apartments. Anything less and you spend the whole job working around walls somebody else decided on.

Palm Bay Tower is a radial building, so the new plan follows its geometry rather than fighting it. A single datum marks where the two units join, and the walls are set off that line, reading the outward curves and the inward ones differently. The finished apartment holds four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a media room, an office, a library, two living areas and a sitting area, with the kitchen, pantry, laundry and bar grouped at the centre and every principal room turned toward the water.

Behind the finishes, everything is new. Full electrical, plumbing and mechanical replacement. Low‑voltage throughout with concealed speakers and televisions. Lutron control across lighting and shades. Recessed baseboards and minimal Apure fittings instead of a ceiling full of trims — the detailing is all in what you cannot see.

One The plan

One residence drawn across two units, turned toward Biscayne Bay.

Furnished floor plan of the combined residence: two elevator lobbies at the west, four bedrooms, five bathrooms, central kitchen and bar, and the principal rooms facing Biscayne Bay to the east.

The combined plan. Both original elevator lobbies survive on the west side — the clearest evidence of what this apartment used to be.

Two Back to concrete

Strip out, clear down, re‑frame, waterproof. Every stage run in an occupied residential tower.

Strip-out underway: ceilings opened, ductwork and conduit exposed, timber and framing stacked across the floor.
Ceilings opened, services exposed
Demolished framing and insulation piled across the slab, the shell reduced to concrete and block with the bay visible beyond.
Everything out, down to the shell
The cleared shell: bare concrete columns and slab, new floor boxes set, balcony glazing on two sides.
Cleared, cleaned, floor boxes set
New metal stud framing and ceiling grid standing, with crack-isolation and sound-reduction membrane being laid across the floor.
New framing, and the floor membrane going down

The membrane in the last frame is crack‑isolation and sound reduction, laid before a tile goes anywhere near the floor. In a residential tower the neighbour below is the client you never meet, and it is far better to get this right once than to lift a finished floor.

Three One residence

Clean geometry, simplified planes, and the bay in every principal room.

The open plan looking east: kitchen island in black-veined stone, dining beyond, and large-format photographs hung along the gallery wall.

Las Olas, Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Las Olas seawall and waterfront

A new concrete seawall on driven piles, with the dock, pool terrace and shoreline access rebuilt around it. Marine work, where the tide sets the programme and nothing can be moved once it is in.

Pile driving from a crane barge on the canal at Las Olas: timber piles standing in line off the shore, crew setting formwork against the bank.
Driving from the barge, Las Olas canal

A private waterfront property on the Las Olas canals needed its shoreline held. We built a new concrete seawall on driven piles, sized against tidal loading and erosion rather than to look adequate on the day it was poured, then rebuilt the waterfront around it.

The property got its water frontage back: a timber dock on new piles, the pool deck extended out to meet it, and the access between pool, marina and boardwalk reconfigured so the three actually connect. Before the work they were three separate places that happened to share a garden.

None of the difficulty survives into the finished photographs, which is exactly why the sequence below is worth more than the last frame in it.

The fourth frame is the one to look at. Those are the service runs laid in before the cap was poured. Route them afterwards and you are cutting a wall you have just built.

Two The waterfront, back

Tilt-up is fast and unforgiving. Panels are cast flat on the slab and craned upright; get the pour, the embeds and the lift sequence right and the structure goes up in weeks. We carried the project as both developer and manager rather than handing it between parties, which is why it finished on time.
