This amazing villa in Bal Harbour by Chad Oppenheim was set in motion when Shiomi Alexander and son Oren purchased a piece of land in this fast-growing area north of Miami. Committed to building a home that would optimise the beauty of its location, the private residence boasts a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor spaces. The structure has a modern feel, mixed with the calm, minimalism of Japanese architecture. The outcome is sophisticated yet seamlessly fitting for the lush tropical surrounds. Making ample use of premium materials like American oak, used for the floors, travertine for the exterior paving to the pool, and glass for the vast sliding windows, every deliberate decision serves as a frame for the naturally scenic landscape. The interior design project by Minotti Studio in partnership with Minotti Miami by DDC, utilises many pieces chosen from the company’s vast collection.
