A modern, 6,200-square-foot Coconut Grove, Florida, condo presented designers Jodi Macklin and Lauren Sparber with an expansive blank slate when the owners enlisted them to transform it into a personalized, grounded getaway home. “With high ceilings and a wide-open floor plan, the condo had the potential to feel cold and impersonal,” Macklin reflects. “We needed to bring in intimacy and a sense of place, making every room feel connected yet distinct.”

The designers focused on introducing layered textures, thoughtful lighting and custom furniture—elements that would deliver warmth and scale to the otherwise oversized shell. They established a consistent visual language through natural materials, soft tones and curated global elements.

Today the owners and their three grown children are thrilled with the reimagined retreat, a space where they can unwind, reconnect and entertain with ease.

“Materiality takes center stage. It’s energetic in tone, intentional in placement and cohesive in execution.”
