Miami is one of the most iconic cities in the world, thanks in no small part to its beautiful architectural styles – ranging from Mediterranean Revival to Art Deco. Many people move to the Magic City in pursuit of the quintessential modern Miami home. 

What Miami is also known for, however, is individuality. While some Miami homeowners enjoy modern design trends, others prefer something more unique. 

As a local architect, I’m here to tell you that’s perfectly fine. Reputable architecture firms in Miami don’t just know how to design one type of home. These firms are less concerned with maintaining a certain style and more concerned with meeting the needs and preferences of their clients. 

How do we do that? By designing a space that prioritizes lifestyle and functionality in addition to appearance. 

Understanding Your Lifestyle Informs Architecture

At Debowsky Design Group, one of the first questions we ask new clients is, “How do you intend to use your space?”. We don’t start by asking how they want the space to look, because that’s not the most important factor. After all, an aesthetically-pleasing design isn’t necessarily a design everyone will enjoy living in. 

To answer this question, think about what you do at home that brings you the most joy, along with your daily routine. Which parts of the house do you spend most of your time in? In Miami, large kitchens are part of the quintessential modern home. But not everyone loves cooking. Same thing with the bathroom. The typical Miami homeowner prefers a large bathroom, but not everyone loves taking baths to unwind after a long day. 

The point is, the right design for you is one that suits your lifestyle, not someone else’s.

Limitless Color Palettes To Match Your Tastes – Not Design Trends

Another aspect of the quintessential modern Miami home is neutral colors. But this is your home, and maybe those aren’t the colors that bring you joy and peace. If you prefer rich and vibrant colors, let those creative juices flow into your walls and furniture. For example, we’ve met plenty of clients who love jewel tones derived from gemstones like sapphire, ruby or emerald. If that sounds like you, a monochromatic room in which the trim, ceiling, and walls are all painted the same vibrant color can be absolutely stunning. 

How to Find a Firm That Gets Your Taste

If you have a specific vision in mind for your home, it’s important to choose an architectural firm capable of accommodating a wide variety of stylistic preferences. At Debowsky Design Group, we don’t have a signature aesthetic because our client’s aesthetic is more important. Our goal is to bring each client’s visions to life, not to build the same home over and over again. 

So, when you’re ready to design a home that perfectly suits your lifestyle, contact us and let’s get started. We’re not afraid to defy industry norms and put our clients’ needs above the latest local trends.
