Kathleen Hay Designs has transformed a Miami Beach residence into a sophisticated coastal retreat, seamlessly blending modern architecture with warm, inviting interiors. Situated in a prime waterfront location, this home was meticulously redesigned to provide a serene escape for a Massachusetts-based family seeking refuge from harsh northern winters.

Collaborating with general contractor Andian Group and architect Ralph Choeff, Kathleen Hay Designs orchestrated a full-scale renovation, gutting the original four-bedroom home and expanding it with a new guest wing featuring three ensuite bedrooms, a gym, and an elevator. A standout feature is the first-floor guest suite, which appears to float above its own private water feature, offering a tranquil, secluded experience.

The heart of the home is the redesigned family room, where a custom bar and wine cave, clad in exquisite boiserie from Boffi, serve as a focal point. A striking 8-foot linear fireplace set against a natural stone wall adds warmth and sophistication. The kitchen was reconfigured to maximize both function and style, incorporating a large chef’s island, walk-in pantry, and a sleek coffee bar. Massive glass doors at the rear of the house open fully onto the pool and outdoor terrace, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living.

The outdoor space is equally impressive, featuring a full kitchen, bar, cabana with an outdoor shower, and a private dock with direct waterway access. A striking two-story fountain enhances the front entrance, setting the tone for the home’s refined aesthetic.

With soaring ceilings, a glass catwalk, and interiors framed by lush tropical greenery, Kathleen Hay Designs has achieved a harmonious balance of modern luxury and natural tranquility, creating an oasis designed for both relaxation and entertaining.
