Coral Gables Custom Home

This beautifully reimagined kitchen and living space remodel is a fusion of comfort, elegance, and indoor-outdoor connection—crafted to elevate daily living and entertaining alike.

For this long-time Coral Gables resident of South African heritage, the dream of transforming her home had been years in the making. With a deep appreciation for design and a cherished collection of traditional South African artwork, she envisioned a space that felt both personal and inspiring—where modern elegance could highlight her cultural roots. With this remodel, she finally brought that vision to life.

At the heart of the home is a custom kitchen, designed with both style and functionality in mind. Shaker-style cabinetry and sleek quartz countertops surround a generous kitchen island that serves as both a gathering space and a functional centerpiece. Stainless steel appliances provide modern convenience, while window backsplashes frame views of the lush tropical garden, filling the space with natural light and tranquility.

Above, exposed beams and a tongue-and-groove ceiling bring warmth and architectural texture, echoing the natural elements outside. Expansive floor-to-ceiling impact windows open to a vibrant pool area and tropical garden invite the outdoors in, creating a peaceful yet dynamic setting for relaxation and gatherings.

A large butler’s pantry offers additional storage and prep space—perfect for entertaining—while maintaining a clean, open aesthetic in the main kitchen.

The open-plan layout flows effortlessly into the spacious living and family areas, A central courtyard offers a second inviting outdoor space, bringing light and greenery deeper into the home, while the thoughtfully designed entryway welcomes guests with understated charm and a preview of the refined yet soulful design within.

This remodel not only modernized the home—it gave the homeowner the perfect canvas to display her cultural heritage and create a warm, inviting space that reflects her unique story.
