Inside an Eclectic Art Deco Miami Home Inline
Photo: Richard Powers1/9Remodeling this house was a very personal exploration of my own aesthetic, which made it such a great experience. It really was the perfect canvas.

The oversize round window glows with light and provides a sneak peek into the space for guests walking through the pool area to the front entrance. Though I am fond of the typical Miami architecture, I didn’t want to make it a Deco showcase, but rather blend different styles.

The layout is very interesting, and each room gives the house a lot of character. I am also very proud of this game table, which is a custom piece I designed in collaboration with Gaspar Saldanha, grandson of the famous mid-century Brazilian mosaic artist Paulo Werneck.
