Stantec Completes Interior Design For Muze at Met In Downtown Miami

Global design and engineering firm Stantec has completed the interior design of the new 43-story residential tower, Muze at Met in downtown Miami. Developed by ZOM Living and managed by ZRS Management, the 391-unit luxury high-rise is part of the Metropolitan Miami mixed-use complex located at 340 SE 3rd Street.

“We made the essence of the interiors come to life by merging urban elements with raw materials,” said Maureen McLaine, interior designer with Stantec’s Miami office. “Sleek metal and bold black accents were blended with stone, wood and leather, creating a natural, sophisticated design concept.”

The use of reclaimed wood, living green walls, and low VOC paints in the common areas signal the project’s adherence to green elements. The lobby is adorned with an undulating light fixture that cascades down to the white marble reception desk. A metal accent running through the dark wood lobby flooring ties the exterior to the interior, while a custom three-dimensional, floor-to-ceiling backlit metal panel screen serves as a focal point near the elevators.

The seventh floor amenity level includes a relaxation lounge with plush white sofas, polished black petrified wood end tables and decorative wooden slabs anchored by lounge rooms with living green walls, complemented by an adjacent two-story high bookmatched Calacatta Italian stone wall across the room. The fitness and wellness center offers a spa, sauna, steam room, yoga room and fully-equipped gym with top-of-the-line Peloton treadmills and TechnoGym fitness equipment.

A floating wooden staircase connects to the eighth-floor amenity deck featuring a clubroom and entertainment area complete with designer lounge furniture, large screen TVs and a billiards table. Surrounded by glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows, residents can enjoy the pool deck views while experiencing the resort style pool with cabanas, outdoor lounge furniture and wet bar. Large custom art pieces dispersed throughout the amenity levels cohesively tie in with the raw materials and furnishings.In addition, the amenity deck features a 24-hour co-working and business center designed with wooden work pods and a separate conference room with glass doors. Other amenities include an indoor pet salon with grooming and washing stations, and a playground area decorated with custom dog-themed artwork.

Residences at Muze at Met offer studios, one-, two-, three-bedroom units and penthouses, featuring tile flooring throughout, European-style kitchen cabinetry and bathroom fixtures, a chef’s island and stainless steel appliances, including dual zone wine fridges.

The 714,000 SF mixed-use project also includes retail space, four restaurants, and an 18-screen Silver spot cinema.

YOO Residences at Metropica To Join THIRDHOME Collection of Global Luxury Residences Invitation Only Travel Club

YOO Residences at Metropica, scheduled for completion this summer, and the first residential offering within the $1.5 billion, 65-acre master planned Metropica, will join THIRDHOME, an exclusive network of global luxury residences. When launched later in 2019, YOO Club will provide exclusive access to five-star residences, clubs and resorts around the world via a point system depending on the location and type of residence. Additional details will soon be available. The invitation-only travel club for owners of YOO homes will not only mean access to YOO properties, but to the more than 10,000 exquisite properties within the THIRDHOME portfolio throughout 94 countries, affording them unique experiences, while allowing them to share use of their own homes during down times.

The 28-story YOO Residences at Metropica features 263 chic, elegantly appointed residences , ranging in size from 740 to 1,379 SF. The building will be a part of YOO Club, a partnership between YOO, founded by John Hitchcox and Philippe Starck, and globally acclaimed THIRDHOME.

“This is an exciting opportunity for our buyers to have access to other YOO properties across the globe, as well as accessing THIRDHOME’s vast network of offerings,” says Joseph Kavana, CEO of Metropica Development, LLC. “For the owners of YOO Residences at Metropica, it is an extraordinary benefit in that they will have access to luxury vacation destinations around the world.”

“We are delighted to have YOO Residences at Metropica as an option for other YOO owners and THIRDHOME members across the globe,” says Giles Adams, president of THIRDHOME Europe. “YOO founders John Hitchcox and Philippe Starck recognized that there are a considerable number of dedicated YOO enthusiasts that would benefit from such a program and we know that THIRDHOME members will enjoy the YOO experience.”

“YOO is a brand unlike few others in the global luxury residential market,” adds Kavana. “We have collaborated with YOO on other projects and appreciate their value. Having the first residential high-rise within Metropica be a YOO offering validates the evolution of ‘urban nodes’ within what were once suburban environments, and will further establish Metropica as the definitive ‘downtown’ of Southwest Broward County.”

YOO Residences at Metropica is the first residential offering of its kind in the area. Metropica will encompass approximately four million square feet and consist of residential condominiums, apartments, boutique hotels, commercial office space, expansive green spaces and a burgeoning world-class culinary, retail, entertainment and lifestyle experience for residents and visitors to enjoy.

CONTINUUM Reveals New Multi-Million Dollar ArquitectonicaGEO-Designed Grounds Renovation

South Florida’s award-winning architectural and branding firm, ArquitectonicaGEO, has been appointed to spearhead a multi-million dollar renovation project for the grounds of Continuum on South Beach, starting in May and anticipated to last between 18 and 24 months. This is the first renovation undertaken by Continuum since it was built 19 years ago. ArquitectonicaGEO will redesign the exterior of the property, from the South of Fifth public roadway leading to the entrance of the property, through to the Upper Rotunda situated between the two towers. The design incorporates the latest in local Florida plant life, trees, landscaping and water fixtures to further embellish the pedestrian neighborhood in and around the South Pointe corner.

“We are very excited to open the next chapter in our progressive journey to establish a new and improved identity,” says Rishi Idnani, Managing Director of Continuum On South Beach. “For almost two decades Continuum On South Beach has become established as the crown jewel in South of Fifth. The brand has grown to become recognized on an international scale, well beyond Miami Beach. We therefore thought it necessary to reflect this growth and reputation in our logo and corporate identity. We are also pleased to be working with one of today’s leading brand architects, ArquitectonicaGEO, for the outdoor renovation and transformation of our grounds that will ultimately mark a new beginning for the entire aesthetic of the Continuum and its surrounding neighborhood.”

ArquitectonicaGEO designed the exterior renovation around the theme of “Infinite Wellbeing” in-line with the resort-style philosophy of the property. The brief was to transform and embellish the outdoor space at the Continuum so residents and visitors utilize it to its maximum potential over time. Tree species currently being selected for the project include the Autograph Tree, Pigeon Plum, Green Buttonwood and Gumbo Limbo. The existing water fountain fixture in the Lower Rotunda will be replaced with a “Specimen Tree” to establish a more interesting and statuesque aesthetic during the arrival experience. The large water fountain within the Upper Rotunda will be replaced with a smaller, more tranquil water fixture, together with green foliage and plants that will encourage pedestrians to sit around. Multiple pathways will also be formed through the center of the rotunda, creating a walkway that does not interfere with arriving vehicles or valet.

“Our aim is to entice homeowners and their guests to be outside as much as possible,” says Michelle Cintron, Vice President of ArquitectonicaGEO. “If we increase the lushness for the pedestrian and bring them closer to nature, they are more likely to use their grounds and even arrive by foot instead of by car. This can be achieved by introducing some tropical plants and trees that are native to Florida and more recognizable to everyone. The end goal of this transformation is also functionality, performance and to establish long-term maintenance of the property as a whole. Part of the project will naturally result in beautifying the surrounding neighborhood to make it more pedestrian friendly,” adds Cintron. “This will potentially activate the nearby retail area to a larger extent.”

Other changes at Continuum include a name change as the building, formerly known over the last 19 years as “Continuum on South Beach,” has decided to change the corporate identity of the luxury property to now be simply known as “Continuum.” Fully established and recognized across the country by global homeowners, Continuum is re-positioning itself as an international property, owned by international residents.

“For more than 18 years, the Continuum has enjoyed widespread recognition as one of the nation’s market leaders in elite luxury living,” says Keith Marks, Board President and Chairman for the Continuum On South Beach Master Association. “To strengthen our position as pioneering among residents looking for the preeminent lifestyle offered, we thought it necessary to open a new chapter for the identity and aura of the property, that will ultimately enhance our unique appeal in contemporary design and serenity.”

The Estates at Acqualina, the new highly anticipated $1.8 billion residential development, announces Villa Acqualina, a 50,000-square-foot residents-only amenity complex. The centerpiece of Villa Acqualina’s private entertainment level will be a two-story speakeasy outfitted with a series of tiered seating and dance platforms that spiral down to the main DJ booth. Mesmerizing video walls will illuminate the venue providing visual stimulation as guests enjoy craft cocktails and lively music. During the day, the glass encased venue will transform into a light installation, highlighting the inclusion of rare and lavish materials such as lacquered ebonized wood, and deep purple velvet, creating an energizing and intimate ambiance. There will also be a 30-foot-long rare onyx bar, an intimate wine room for private dining, a cigar room, and 5,000 square feet of private ocean view lounge space. The swanky bar and lounge will be located upstairs where residents can mix and mingle and enjoy a classic cocktail or signature libation and then make their way down the cascading stairs to the speakeasy, where a DJ will be spinning all night long.

“It’s the perfect venue for celebrations of all kinds from anniversaries and birthday parties to weddings and bar mitzvahs,” said Jules Trump, developer. “As we have an international clientele, the speakeasy matches everyone’s wishes, dreams and style. It's for residents only so it’s a very special amenity not found in other residential projects. There will be incredible lighting from highly specialized lighting experts where the lighting will change colors with different settings to match the mood and feel of the event.
