The design highlights natural materials such as white oak slatted ceilings, Santa Caterina travertine floors, and warm wood finishes, paired with stone, fibers, and bronze details. Expansive windows frame sweeping views of the Florida coastline, while the interiors balance neutral surfaces with vibrant accents.

The renovation included structural modifications, a glass-enclosed wine cellar, and a custom kitchen with suspended Futuro Futuro hood.
