Our Miami Beach Design Process

Every Miami Beach project starts with the site. Here's how we take a coastal home from first conversation through design, permitting, and the finished build.

Consultation

We start by understanding your vision, the property, your budget, and your timeline. On a barrier island, the site comes first, so we assess the lot's flood zone, required elevation, and coastal setbacks early, then outline what's possible.

Design

From schematic concepts to detailed development. Floor plans, materials, and finishes are refined into a complete home, designed for Miami Beach's coastal climate with elevation, salt and humidity resistance, storm protection, and indoor-outdoor living built in.

Permitting & Construction

We prepare full construction documents for City of Miami Beach permitting, including flood elevation, hurricane, and impact requirements, then provide on-site oversight through construction so your home is built exactly as designed.
