Picture this: You\u2019re designing a 4,000-square-foot waterfront condo in Miami for a Brazilian-based couple who intends to use it as their retirement pad. It\u2019s located in the jaw-dropping Oceana Bal Harbour<\/a> building, so it can\u2019t be ordinary. What do you do?<\/p>\n

There are a million different ways to go, right? But at DKOR Interiores<\/a>, we were inspired by the couple\u2019s journey of life, and by a similar trip: the one the sun takes around Earth, creating a timeless experience as light travels from one place to another. It may seem a little esoteric, but really, we\u2019re just playing with light: the contrast it creates, the patterns its shadows leave, the rhythm of natural light, and the reflections it casts.<\/p>\n

If you sit outside near a tree or bench for long enough, you\u2019ll see how the sun moves and projects different shadows. That\u2019s what we\u2019re doing here, but with design elements and some artificial lighting.<\/p>\n

Bal Harbour Condo Design – Our Inspiration<\/h2>\n

Lighting is one of those tricky elements of interior design, especially for beginners. There are different types of lighting in modern interior design<\/a> and almost endless rules about where to place light fixtures that it can get overwhelming. But here, we\u2019re throwing out some of the rules and playing with light the way an artist would, to lend texture, depth, and a mood to a space.<\/p>\n

Go Inside the Condo Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We\u2019re not just<\/em> using actual light (artificial and natural); we\u2019re also taking inspiration from the colors of the sun as it rises and falls and incorporating them into our color and texture palettes.<\/p>\n

With the main materials in our Bal Harbour condo offering a neutral backdrop (and just a hint of blue to reflect the ocean outside), the lighting elements have plenty of room to shine (pun intended!). To get the picture a bit better, explore two of our proposed room designs that best exemplify how we play with light and execute our design concept:<\/p>\n

The Elevator Foyer<\/h3>\n

Yep, this bad boy has it\u2019s own elevator. And the foyer it opens onto sets the tone for the whole home, so we\u2019re going all in with light. From the moment you step foot into this condo, you know there\u2019s something special going on.<\/p>\n

First, let\u2019s start with the cage-inspired plass table lamp<\/a> from Foscarini (a proposed, but not finalized selection), which will cast an eye-catching pattern around the room. Next up is the oversize mirror, which reflects light and immediately brightens up the window-less space. Finally, we\u2019re installing LED lights behind slats on the wall to create shadows that offer rhythm and contrast.<\/p>\n

The Breakfast Nook<\/h3>\n

In the breakfast nook, floor-to-ceiling windows offer an abundance of natural light, so during our furniture-selection phase, we\u2019ll make sure to choose pieces that will cast shadows and patterns as the sun moves across the sky.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The \u00e9tag\u00e8res that separate the nook from the family room feature unevenly spaced shelves, which will direct intriguing shadows into the space when the sun is shining from that direction. The leggy chairs will have the same effect.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the proposed light fixture, purposely similar to the one in the elevator foyer, which will cast a pattern around the room when turned on. Even the glass table and sheers allow light to filter through, changing the way it looks in the process.<\/p>\n

These are just two spaces, but each and every room in this Bal Harbour waterfront condo will include elements that incorporate our illusion of light traveling concept. Tying the home together is not only this theme, but also a design aesthetic. We\u2019ve chosen \u201ceclectic modernism\u201d as our look, and lighting is a big part of it. The lighting elements we\u2019ve included are a mix of contemporary, mid-century, and even industrial. The cage-style lamp and the wall installations are two brilliant examples.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned as we make progress on this project\u2014everything from picking furniture to the final touches are still to come.<\/p>\n
