Coastal Minimalism: Oceanfront Retreat in Miami Beach

 

Imagine waking up to soft ocean light pouring through your windows, surrounded by calm colors and clean, airy spaces. That’s the feeling we wanted to bring into this home. It’s coastal, but not in the obvious way—more about light woods, soft textures, and little details that connect the indoors with the sea just outside. A place that feels easy, elegant, and deeply relaxing.

These clients were such a pleasure to work with, easygoing, collaborative, and genuinely excited throughout the process. We customized every detail to make the installation feel smooth and personal.

A Palette Inspired by the Shore

The interiors are layered in soft neutrals—warm sand tones, light wood finishes, and crisp whites—that reflect the relaxed energy of Miami Beach living. Subtle accents of blue and natural greenery introduce a refreshing coastal touch without overwhelming the space.

 
 

Living Areas with a Relaxed Sophistication

In the living room, soft seating and cozy textures make the space feel relaxed but still refined. Textured pillows, organic shapes, and sculptural pieces add character without taking away the calm vibe. The surfboard display was such a fun touch, bringing that relaxed, coastal vibe into the room.

 
 

A Kitchen of Clean Lines and Functionality

We ditched the formal dining and went all-in on an open kitchen + living vibe. This space combines high-performance finishes with a laid-back feel.

Matte cabinetry, integrated appliances, and marble surfaces create a clean, timeless look, while the island does it all— cook, eat, and hang out. The balance of form and function makes the space feel both practical and inspiring.

 
 

Bedrooms that Evoke Calm

The bedrooms are designed as sanctuaries of tranquility. Neutral wall treatments, layered bedding, and carefully selected artwork infuse warmth and personality without breaking the minimalist flow. Every detail, from custom lighting to textured rugs, contributes to a calm and harmonious atmosphere.

 
 

A Lifestyle Rooted in Simplicity

This project proves that minimalism doesn’t have to feel cold, and coastal design doesn’t need to be overly thematic. By merging the two, the result was a home that feels calm, sophisticated, and deeply connected to its natural surroundings.

Every time we look at this project, we feel the same sense of calm we hoped to create, that quiet reminder to slow down and take in the everyday beauty around you.

“For us, design is not just about how a home looks, but how it makes you feel. Here, we wanted every detail to echo calm, simplicity, and the beauty of the ocean just outside.
— Principals Rafaela Simoes and Laila Colvin
