DAMAC International Reveals The Delmore Surfside Interior Designs by Hirsch Bedner Associates

The Delmore, the ultra-luxury boutique condominium rising along the oceanfront of Miami’s Surfside community, is revealing new details and an expanded preview of its interiors by HBA (Hirsch Bedner Associates) – one of the world’s leading hospitality design firms known for its work on some of the most celebrated hotels and residences worldwide, including The OWO Residences by Raffles in London and the award winning Residences at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab in Dubai. The project is being led by HBA Residential, the firm’s specialist residential arm, renowned for creating bespoke, design-intelligent homes for UHNWIs.

The update marks the first comprehensive look at HBA’s design vision and creative process for The Delmore. A global leader in integrated design from architecture, landscape, lighting, art consultancy, product design, procurement, and brand strategy, HBA has been selected for their unique ability to translate the precision and artistry of luxury hospitality interiors into private, highly individualized homes. The Delmore was approached through a lens of quiet luxury, contextual materiality, and a hospitality mindset tailored to bespoke residential living: the result is a design language that feels both sculptural and serene – crafted in dialogue with architectural form by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA).

HBA’s dedicated residential studio conceived the interiors as a seamless, experience-driven journey. “The Delmore embodies HBA Residential’s vision of contemporary luxury - timeless, effortless, and deeply liveable,” said Katie Earl, Creative Director at HBA Residential. “It represents a key chapter in our growing U.S. portfolio and commitment to ultra-luxury residential design.”

The natural environment of Surfside served as a guiding influence from the earliest stages of design. During initial site visits, the HBA team collected shells directly from the Surfside shoreline, bringing them back to their London studio to inspire custom shell stone finishes used throughout key amenity spaces. “The travertine’s wavy grain was selected to evoke shifting dunes and ocean movement,” said Louisa Lee, Project Director at HBA Residential. “The shell stone carries subtle references to the beach itself. We wanted the materials to feel tactile and transportive, like discovering treasures along the shoreline.”

The interiors were developed in close conversation with ZHA to create a unified architectural expression. The tower’s GFRC façade, whose molds were inspired by sand collected by ZHA from the Surfside beach, informed HBA’s emphasis on curvature, natural light, and a restrained palette that highlights form over ornamentation. “The architecture has a gentle fluidity,” noted Katie Earl, Creative Director at HBA Residential. “We designed the interiors as a continuation of that movement -- harmonizing materials, lines, and spaces so the experience feels cohesive from the moment you arrive.”

This hospitality-forward thinking extends deeply into the planning, programming, and amenities. Drawing from insight gained through designing homes for a global and highly discerning clientele, HBA shaped residences with expansive dual exposures, private elevator vestibules, principal bathrooms positioned directly along full-height windows, and circulation paths that maximize openness and light. Spa and wellness areas are crafted with natural materials and global traditions in mind, creating spaces that feel transportive and rooted in wellbeing.

Positioned in Miami’s Billionaires’ Triangle, The Delmore rises 12 stories with 37 full- and half-floor mansions in the sky, each averaging more than 7,000 square feet and starting at $15 million. The building delivers an exceptionally private experience for ultra-high-net-worth buyers seeking refined luxury and architectural distinction. Amenities span more than 55,000 square feet and include a residents-only restaurant curated by Michelin-level talent, a movement- and wellness-focused gym with treatment rooms, an indoor lap pool, a signature suspended acrylic pool bridging the building’s two wings, and a rooftop deck offering panoramic sunrise-to-sunset views.

Private arrival galleries for each residence, a 20,000-square-foot beachside meditation garden, and thoughtfully appointed outdoor lounges further define a lifestyle rooted in discretion, serenity, and world-class design.

The project is being developed by East Oceanside Development, a subsidiary of DAMAC International, with additional collaborators including Douglas Elliman as exclusive broker, ODP Architects (Architect of Record), CLAD Landscape Architecture & Design (landscape), Keller North America (foundation engineering), and Active Security Consulting. Construction milestones have been ongoing, and the project recently completed deep-soil mixing and trench-soil mixing with Keller, paving the way for pilings and subsequent basement excavation. The Delmore is expected to rise out of the ground in the last quarter of 2026, with completion on track for 2029.

Cipriani Residences Miami Reveals First Look At Interiors By 1508 London

Cipriani Residences Miami, the luxury hospitality brand’s first ground-up residences in the United States, and developer Mast Capital have revealed a first look at the luxury condominium towers interiors designed by the internationally renowned firm 1508 London. 1508 London worked in collaboration with the Cipriani family to design the tower’s interiors to capture the spirit of the Cipriani brand, recognized for its distinguished style, world-class service and four generations of history and tradition. Cipriani Residences Miami’s interiors will feature a design language consistent with Cipriani’s understated elegance reminiscent of yacht design, while reinventing luxury in the Brickell neighborhood which is known for its high-rise buildings and walkability.

Cipriani Residences Miami is also 1508 London’s first project in Florida, following the opening of the firm’s debut North American hub in Miami. The tower elevates the studio’s existing high-profile portfolio, which includes its work with a roster of luxury brands, such as the Four Seasons, its transformation of Winston Churchill’s former London offices into OWO Residences by Raffles and its design of the world’s largest private yacht.

"The interior design of Cipriani Residences Miami demonstrates a fundamental richness that recalls the timeless elegance of four generations of the Cipriani family. 1508 London has envisioned an offering that captures both the inherent spirit of Cipriani and the sophisticated lifestyle of Miami,” said Camilo Miguel, Jr., CEO and Founder of Mast Capital. “Owners will be delighted with distinctive aesthetic details such as the delicate edge trim on the bespoke Italian leather furniture, the scent and placement of fresh flowers, the gentle diffused light from Venetian chandeliers, and the magnificent spaces clad in artisan walnut.”

The interiors for Cipriani Residences Miami are an authentic interpretation of the brand. With subtle nods in the choice of furnishings, materials, finishes and color palette, the design is an amalgamation of features directly inspired by Cipriani’s most beloved properties.

“We like interiors that are sophisticated, timeless and functional, with attention to quality of materials and details,” says Giuseppe Cipriani, CEO of Cipriani. “Collaborating for the first time with this design team has been an exciting process.”

The design intent for Cipriani Residences Miami is best expressed by the double-height lobby, which complements the bright and airy architecture by Arquitectonica. The team envisioned a modern take on Venetian design for the space, with timber accents, Italian terrazzo flooring and a color palette that draws from the brand’s restaurants, including their signature blue tones and rich hues like walnut and camel. Designed with a sense of grandeur and moments of intimacy, the lobby is intended to seamlessly transition from day to night, with lounges and bookcases to create warmth and greenery to establish a connection to the outdoors. All the upholstery and light pendants will originate from Italy, such as an authentic Murano glass chandelier that will hang in the main entryway.

“In working with this iconic brand, we had the unique task of creating a new lifestyle using decades of exquisite source material, so we were quickly overcome with inspiration,” said Leo Bertacchini, Design Director at 1508 London. “We carefully wove together a design that would be both derivative of the brand’s flagship properties and unique to this building. It was important to us that residents feel immersed in the Cipriani lifestyle and also have a sense of place in the heart of Miami’s Financial District.”

The design of the 397 residences at Cipriani Residences Miami honor the curved, glass architecture of the tower. Exuding the timeless sophistication of the brand’s classic aesthetic, they offer generous floor plans, 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, expansive terraces accessible from the living room and primary bedroom and panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, the Brickell skyline, and Coconut Grove. The open eat-in chef kitchens feature custom Italian cabinetry modeled after Cipriani’s renowned style, as well as top-of-the-line integrated Wolf Sub-Zero appliances and Art Deco-inspired light pendants. Primary bathrooms include a grand, stand-alone bathtub, glass-enclosed shower and separate water closet, with a vanity comprising premium Italian cabinetry, Dornbracht fixtures and a back-lit mirror.

The one- to four-bedroom residences at Cipriani Residences Miami range from 1,213 square feet to 3,495 square feet, with prices starting from $1.4 million. Sales and marketing efforts for the project are handled exclusively by Fortune Development Sales.

The Perigon Reveals Sophisticated Interiors by Tara Bernerd In Miami Beach

The Perigon, the first residential project on Miami Beach designed by award-winning architecture firm OMA as well as the only new pre-construction, ultra-luxury condominium currently offered on the city’s iconic beach – has revealed its elegant interiors by Tara Bernerd, the inimitable London-based designer internationally renowned for her work on luxurious hotels and private yachts. Inspired by the tower’s tranquil, dual waterfront location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal waterway, the interiors evoke the sophistication of a European riviera and the essence of a five-star resort, further establishing The Perigon as Miami Beach’s premier destination for oceanfront living.

Located at 5333 Collins Avenue, and developed by a joint venture between Mast Capital and an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group, The Perigon’s highly anticipated interior preview includes a first look at the arrival experience and lobby; the private spa, sauna, and treatment room; and the elegant residential interiors and finishes. Drawing from the surrounding natural coastal environment and the color palette of Miami Beach, Bernerd imagined a residential aesthetic that emphasizes panoramic ocean views, abundant natural light, private outdoor space, and expansive floor plans of The Perigon’s 74 two-to four-bedroom residences and 8 resident owned guest suites.

“Combining Tara’s extraordinary talent with the genius of OMA’s architecture and Gustafson Porter+Bowman’s landscaping has differentiated The Perigon in the market,” said Camilo Miguel, Jr., CEO of Mast Capital. “The Perigon captures attention to detail in a way that is unmatched for the area, and there is no better representation of that than in the rich amenity spaces. Through her timeless aesthetic and European sensibility Tara has created a true sanctuary in Miami Beach.”

Inside the residences at The Perigon, Bernerd’s design incorporates a unique combination of organic fabrics, refined materiality and tailored weaves. Juxtaposing stone, glass and wood to create dimension and texture, the interiors include noticeable influences from Europe and its famed rivieras. This is evident in the open kitchen, for example, which features Italian cabinetry custom designed by Bernerd with a focus on craftsmanship and detail. The overall color palette is soft and natural, drawing from The Perigon’s premier location.

In the primary suite, the bathrooms are adorned in marble with dark bronze fittings, and select residences feature dramatic soaking tubs that overlook the shoreline and Miami skyline. Bernerd’s timeless aesthetic further enhances gracious ceiling heights and floor-to-ceiling panoramic views of the ocean and bay. Residences at the intimate 17-story building range from 2,100 square feet to 6,700 square feet and are priced from $4 million.

“The Perigon represents a unique opportunity to establish the next iteration of luxury living in Miami Beach,” says Tara Bernerd, founder of Tara Bernerd & Partners. “Responding to and embracing the tower’s statement architecture, the amenity spaces have been designed to be indicative of a high-end hotel, presenting a unique challenge to infuse a sense of exclusivity together with a sense of warmth for residents. What Mast Capital and Starwood Capital Group have envisioned is setting a new bench-mark in design, and we are proud to collaborate with them on this first look at our designs.”

The collection of amenities at The Perigon best showcases how Bernerd has interpreted the firm’s hospitality prowess into the context of a condominium tower. For the spa, she created an evolved Miami Beach aesthetic that should appeal to the well-traveled, design-conscious resident and their penchant for experiencing a destination through the lens of a local. It features a mixture of materials and fabrics selected both for their authenticity to the area and their connection to sought-after locales.

In the lobby, Bernerd enhances OMA’s bold architecture. By playing with the architectural concept and working with the geometry, she scaled the space to bring warmth and intimacy into the design, so that it feels both grand and welcoming upon arrival, befitting a building of this stature. The floors are finished in a white natural stone with a diamond pattern mimicking the footprint of the tower while contrasting with elegant polished plaster walls trimmed in Italian stone. The result is a new design language inspired by Miami and its nautical and cultural traditions.

The Perigon will deliver many more amenities in addition to these newly unveiled spaces, including a resident-only oceanfront restaurant andspeakeasy bar, conservatory with a daily breakfast bar, sunrise lounge and terrace. Residents will also enjoy an oceanfront swimming pool and spa, as well as poolside cabanas and sunbeds all situated within lush landscaping by Gustafson Porter+Bowman, the firm responsible for redesigning the green space at the Eiffel Tower and the powerful Princess Diana Memorial Fountain in London’s Hyde Park. Benefiting from the coveted beachfront location, residents will have exclusive beach access complete with food and beverage service. Other amenities include a terraced fitness center with ocean views, children’s playroom, private salon, screening room, and wine room. The spaces will be activated by a dedicated lifestyle concierge and residential butler. Imagery is forthcoming.

Sales and marketing for The Perigon is exclusively handled by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

B&B Italia Is Distilling The best of Italian Living in Miami’s Downtown

Nobody does luxury quite like Italy. From unmatched gastronomy, to revered art and design, the Italian peninsula offers a sense of style unlike anywhere else in the world. 

This focus on form and beauty has long defined Italian design, whether it be in automobiles, fashion, interior design or home furnishings. Italian design always stands out, with countless attempts to emulate the Mediterranean region’s understated, yet exquisitely refined aesthetic. 

Based in Novedarte, Italy, B&B Italia is not content retreading previously explored ideas, however. Working with visionaries, like Artistic Director, Piero Lissoni, the world-renowned design house is working to reimagine the quintessential Italian ‘look’ for a new generation of connoisseurs. 

The approach has proven to be highly successful, with robust growth and an impressive stable of A-list collaborators, including iconic brands like Rolex, Piaget, Rolls Royce, Fendi, Apple and many more. 

B&B Italia is now venturing into the luxury real estate space, partnering with development powerhouses Related Group and Alta Developers, to deliver their first-ever residential property. 

Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia is an exclusive luxury condominium located in the heart of Miami’s downtown neighborhood, just steps from the sparkling waters of Biscayne Bay. With architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors hand-curated by Piero Lissoni and the B&B Italia team, every aspect of the 55-story tower is envisioned as an oasis, offering a refined Miami aesthetic rooted in contemporary Italian design. 

We recently sat down with Francesco Farina, Chief Executive Officer for B&B Italia’s US operations to learn more about Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia.

Why is B&B Italia venturing into branded real estate? What kind of draw does this hold for you and your team? 

Miami plays an integral role within the arts and design community. Our company believes that it is important, being a leading brand in design, to have a place to tell our story, and Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia allows the brand to bring the exquisite experience of Italian design to life in Miami. 

Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia is supposed to distill the very best of Italian design. What does that mean to you? 

B&B Italia continues to stand out for both its representation of contemporary culture as well as its research and innovation. There is a fruitful partnership that we have between the company’s Research and Development Center, a workshop for excellent ideas, and the best international design professionals outstanding talent, which has resulted in the creation of iconic products that have defined our brand.

This is a unique project for B&B Italia. Your team is handling furnishings while Piero Lissoni handles interior designs. Does this type of approach give your team greater creative freedom? 

This sort of approach gives us the ability to really work with Piero in a unique way outside of his role as Artistic Director for B&B Italia. Piero has played a key role across many other Related projects, which gives us a leg up of sorts. He helps us anticipate challenges unique to the development world and helps us deliver an even higher quality product. 

We cannot wait to show the world what we’ve been working on! 

B&B Italia is known around the world for its home furnishings. How are you translating that brand ethos into a full residential experience?

B&B Italia’s modern, refined aesthetic makes us feel at home in this beautiful residential tower. Distilling the best of life on the Italian peninsula, the 55-story Casa Bella will instantly transport residents away from the bustling city center.
