New York based interior designer Harry Heissmann can do it all, and then some. Harry moves effortlessly from traditional to contemporary and everything in between, which prompted him to describe his style as ‘client-centric’. With a penchant for maximalism, whimsy and an apparent obsession with exotic animals, his spaces are destined to put a smile on your face.

I have a few more luxurious condominium residences in Miami to share with you today. Luxury is definitively the key word here with these developments. Exquisitely designed and if easy-living in an elegant condo is something you are after then you are going to love this. Especially if ocean views is something that tugs at your heartstrings. Which it absolutely does for me.

First up is 57 Ocean Miami Condos. It is spectacular!

This development is a new addition to the properties on Collins Avenue, specifically in the land stretch known as Millionaire’s Row, and is by Brazilian billionaire Jose Isaac Peres. 57 Ocean in Miami Beach is 18 stories of elite units with views that are unbeatable and interiors that are as modern and elegant as you can expect from a location like this.

The interiors are of course Brazilian inspired with private elevator entries, 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, streamlined Poliform kitchens and bathrooms, and 12-foot wood-lined terraces with those views I cannot stop talking about 🙂 As for amenities there are two cabana-lined oceanfront infinity swimming pools, including poolside bar and social lounge plus pool-and-beachside concession services, a wellness pavilion spa and much more. Everything you would find at a 5-star resort.

The next property is Muse condo in Sunny Isles. Another absolutely jaw dropping high-end luxury development of 68 residences (only 2 per floor).

WOW! Those views from the living room…. it truly is remarkable especially with those glass terrace railings giving you an unobstructed ocean sightline. The Muse Miami condos are 2 or 3 bedroom units and include 12’ ceilings, Italian marble or wood floors, complete terraces with summer kitchens, private elevators and Smart Tech 2.0 state-of-the-art technologies. The architectural design was created by Carlos Ott and Sieger Suarez with interiors designed by ANTROBUS + RAMIREZ.

Each of the Muse Miami condos is fully finished, with 8′ Italian entry doors, exquisite marble and wood flooring, chef’s kitchens, custom Italian cabinetry, drop dead gorgeous walk-in closets, and personalized art from Helidon Xhixha. Amenities include an exclusive beach club, infinity pool and spa, high-tech gym, sky garden penthouse and breakfast room.

Last but not least I would like to share the Regalia Condo Miami Beach. This development is a unique, ultra-luxury complex located along a private, one-acre stretch in Sunny Isles Beach.

This is yet another incredibly elegant, high-end luxury residence where there are 46 floors consisting of 39 residences – one unit per floor, providing the ultimate in privacy (37 units are single-floor residences, one is a two-level beach house and one is a three-level penthouse). The structure is a masterpiece and Regalia condos Miami has been awarded Best Residential High-Rise Development in the U.S.A. by the International Property Awards in London.

The entire perimeter of each residence is framed by approximately 10 ft. high, floor to ceiling glass windows and sliders, allowing for 360 degrees of unobstructed views of the ocean (are you kidding me?!?!?!), beach, and city including the residential area of Golden Beach and the Intracoastal Waterways. The kitchens are chef-quality and include a butler’s pantry, warming drawer, built-in wine storage system (and more!), and the condos are finished with the finest stone, wood, glass, and wall coverings imported exclusively for Regalia from all over the world. The list of amenities is exceptional – infinity-edge swimming pool set amidst lush gardens and fountains, an exclusive spa with pools, and tranquility area with aromatherapy and chromotherapy, a media room, theater, billiards room with cigar lounge and wine bar, a children’s activity room, private beach with poolside service and much more. This is indeed resort living – without the resort!

“Our Coopers Shoot project near Byron Bay was wish fulfilment made real for a young family of four. Our brief was to create spaces that would suit a busy family lifestyle but embrace relaxation, that would work both functionally and beautifully, and that would enhance reflection and embrace entertaining.”

Stylish, open plan living with doors flung open to a verdant landscape in one of Australia’s most beautiful coastal hinterland spots. It’s about connection to place and connections to people. Coopers Shoot by Louise Walsh.

Pink, purple, green, yellow and every shade in between make this home fun, family-friendly, colourful to the max and full of energy. Designed by Atelier ND Interior, it is located outside Amsterdam and owned by actors Guy Pearce and Carice van Houten. How could you not have a smile on your face when you walk through the front door?

We have been featuring the work of renowned photographer Graham Atkins-Hughes for many years and I was delighted to hear from him the other day. He wanted to share the home he recently purchased and renovated (it was in quite a state when he bought it, and there are before photos at the end of this post). It is a triplex apartment in Hackney, East London that is available for photo shoots and features some retro vintage furnishings that has always been his signature style. Graham’s new home is fabulous with a kitchen that is now modern and filled with light from 2 large windows, a luxurious master bedroom with en-suite, a gorgeous modern bathroom tiled with large format tiles resembling polished concrete with corner bath (looove!!!!) and a lofty bedroom that also has great windows.

He’s done such an incredible job with this home, getting rid of the bland and ugly and creating a cool, vintage-vibing place. I had to share some of the before photos given the condition it was in which shows how much of a project this was. Great job Graham!!!
