Palazzo del Mare: A Modern Masterpiece by Pepe Calderin

Transforming Residential Design with Light, Texture, and Boldness

This project by Pepe Calderin Design redefines the concept of residential design by delving into the client's lifestyle and passions on a deeper level. Inspired by light, texture, boldness, and personality, Palazzo del Mare is a truly unique and modern residential house.

Palazzo del Mare stands out from other residential designs with its custom bold pieces and striking architectural elements. The residence was designed to breathe new life into the space, creating a home that is both unique and a reflection of the client's style. One of the standout features is the one-of-a-kind red glass wall sculpture that is used throughout the house, highlighting key areas such as the foyer, dining room, hallways, and living room. The use of varied ceilings adds further interest and depth to the design.

The materials chosen for Palazzo del Mare play a crucial role in achieving the modern and clean look desired by the clients. Glass, natural stone, wenge wood, and various marbles are used throughout the house. Calacatta Gold, in particular, is used for the flooring, providing a luxurious touch. The master bathroom features an infinity tub with a mirror TV, allowing the client to enjoy a relaxing soak while catching up on their favorite shows. The master bedroom also boasts a rotating ceiling TV, ensuring that it can be viewed from any corner of the room. The home theater, on the other hand, features a 100" plasma television and leather padded walls for optimal acoustics.

With a total scale of 744 square meters, Palazzo del Mare offers a spacious and open floor plan. The seamless blending of spaces, achieved through the use of materials and pops of color, creates a dynamic and inviting atmosphere.

Located on Fisher Island in Miami, Florida, Palazzo del Mare was a project that started in January 2008 and was completed around January 2009. The design research for this project focused on creating a home that incorporated bold colors and innovative geometric elements, providing a fresh and energetic alternative to urban living.

Palazzo del Mare has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2017 in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

Palazzo del Mare is a testament to Pepe Calderin's expertise in creating unique and luxurious residential spaces. With its bold design choices, innovative features, and attention to detail, this modern masterpiece is a true reflection of the client's lifestyle and passions.
