With its waterfront views from the living room and open, double-height spaces, the Casa Palma project in Miami provided the local BoConcept design team broad scope for interior creativity
Throughout the villa’s different spaces, low-lying furniture was chosen to allow in light and ensure clear sightlines. Corner sofas Hampton and Amsterdam, here in velvety fabrics, communicate elegance as well as comfort
Hygge comes to Miami
‘The interior really had to evoke the feeling of "hygge" – this was very important to the client’, says Senior Design Consultant at BoConcept Miami, Daniela Contreras, ‘And with the BoConcept interiors, we were able to fit out the house with furniture and accessories that all shared the same taste and feel.’ The investor came across the BoConcept store in Miami somewhat by chance, while out on a walk. ‘Seeing the furniture and going through the possibilities with our design team, he quickly became convinced that this was the right match and directly put us in contact with the architects of the house. “This is the brand I want,” he told them.’‘This is the brand I want’
With materials such as wood and leather, and soft textiles in brown and grey hues, the house has a hospitable feel. A lot can be expressed with just a few signature pieces – such as the Imola swivel chair and the Cupertino executive desk
Creating a Scandinavian ambience
One of the most important priorities was to maintain a sense of open perspectives in relation to the villa's large interior spaces as well as to its relationship with the outside. This was accomplished with deep, low-profile seating, set within simple, airy layouts. ‘The colour tones and materials chosen were kept as natural and calm as possible, hanging on to the idea of a Scandinavian ambience, while matching the surfaces of the building,’ says Contreras, ‘At the time, BoConcept also had the license to sell lamps from the Danish mid-century designer, Verner Panton, which were then used to emphasise the overall idea.’BoConcept designs are conceived to create a sense of quality, warmth and charisma, no matter the size and scale of project
The architect and the BoConcept design team collaborated closely to make sure that the interiors and the many architectural features would complement each other naturally
A comprehensively BoConcept concept
BoConcept designs are conceived to create a sense of quality, warmth and charisma, no matter the size and scale of the project, and Villa Palma demonstrates exactly that. ‘Even though the house didn’t have an owner yet, it had to reflect a certain lifestyle and the Miami vibe,’ concludes Contreras, ‘We are usually involved in different-sized projects, but here we were offered the chance to indulge in the potential promised by many more square metres than usual, by the light, by the views, and so had the opportunity to build up a complete and comprehensive BoConcept scenography.’Project Gallery
