Louis XIII Cognac & Piper-Heidsieck VIP Lounge
An exclusive, bespoke VIP lounge for the celebrated French cognac house: one of only 14 official Louis XIII lounges in the world.
Soaring ceilings, dramatic cascading crystal chandeliers, red velvet tufted walls and hand-painted Spanish tiles create a sanctuary that has welcomed celebrities, dignitaries and global leaders.
Miami · Historic Coral Way · $10M · 7,000+ sq ft
La Bodeguita del Medio
A $10M, 7,000+ sq ft cultural landmark: a complete design vision for the legendary Cuban restaurant and nightclub, the house once loved by Hemingway and Nat King Cole.
The concept modernized a legendary brand while honoring its soul, fusing the colonial nostalgia of 1950s Havana with European symmetry and the contemporary luxury of Miami.
