SAOTA aspired to use their South African design principles of emphasis on the outdoors as people live both in, through and outside their homes. They desired to bring this principle to Miami Beach to create a home that embraces Miami’s tropical climate and natural beauty.

The refined interior design uses warm tones throughout the natural sun-filled spaces through subtle manipulations of patterns and textures complemented by exquisite lighting custom designed by Lux Populi.

Overall, this home is beautifully comfortable and unquestionably luxurious.
