The Inspiration In Art Deco Style:

In terms of aesthetics and design, the basic defining characteristics of the Art Deco style include geometric shapes, angular lines, color patterns, curves, and lots of glamour.  This style, which emerged in Europe in the 1920s also references other design elements and art movements, such as neoclassicism, modernism and cubism.

An it was precisely with a bold proposal full of elegance that the duo of designers Rafael Kalichstein and Joshua Rose teamed up with architect Scott Joyce, of Scott Joyce Design in the creation of this house in Miami, reinvented by the Art deco style with pinches of contemoraneity. From handcrafted flourishes, custom designs, and furniture from various periods, the trio creates a unique sense of place in each room. 

A Colorful House Decor:

The original version of the beach house was expanded and now has materials such as plaster, leather, marble, metals, and vaulted ceilings. The choice of the color palette was not a mere coincidence: with a kaleidoscopic proposal, the color gambling reflects all the boldness in the construction of the rooms that uses a mix of colorful furniture — interior trend for 2023 — with floral wallpapers and traditional cabinetry. “Each room communicates with the next,” Kalichstein adds.

The at deco style living room is equipped with a custom long sofa, a Murano glass coffee table, and a beautifully textured rug. A palm tree-shaped floor lamp complements the room with a panel of leather-wrapped sliding doors with marble, quartzite and brass inlays that open to a television.

The kitchen, integrated with the dining room, offers more art deco details: curved island furniture and ornamental shaped cabinets. The gold-tone details of the stools also help convey sophistication while a ceiling light hovers over a 1970s brass and marble table in the dining area. In the bar area, the highlight is the sconce, which is decorated with hand-silvered mirror, quartzite cladding, and patinated brass cabinets.

The guest bedroom has peach hues while the bathroom gets a carved sodalite sink and a flamingo-themed wallpaper on grasscloth. The master bedroom is highlighted by the ultimate symbol of jazz-era glamour: a 24k gold leaf mural on plaster and fabric. To finish off the art deco style decor, there is a breathtaking custom chandelier of brass palm fronds! The primary bath is furnished with a bathtub and sconces, doors and mirror also in soft curves and… A lot of sophistication!
