Architectural Interiors

1. As a new venture for the acclaimed hotel on South Beach, The Setai
New York was envisioned as a mixed-use luxury condominium and
hotel project. The building offers its residents hotel amenities as well
as proximity to the city’s finest. Twin concierge staffed lobbies service
both residential and commercial clients, while an elaborate restaurant
and meeting space on the second floor is followed by a spa and fitness
facility on the third. The crowning element is the rooftop that serves
as the residents’ own backyard and offers everything needed to host a
lavish affair from a kitchen and bar, to daybeds and fire pits.

The French-Asian establishment known as SHO Shaun

covered aesthetically with wood veneer.

5. A study in compression
Above and Right: A 3D rendering and section of the
dining area reveals the compression and expansion
of the space. This in turns defines intimate and public
zones to vary the diner’s experience.

sketches and renderings of the spa hallways explore
ways to make every step a visual journey. Photos of
the finished product remain fairly true to form.
