Coconut Grove Villa

United States

The library has been designed as a flexible space that also doubles as a family room. The decorative light fixture creates a cozy effect. Even though the space is generously sized it retains an intimate yet sophisticated feel. The 1970’s inspired swivel chairs mingle with black leather wrapped bentwood chairs, and a contemporary sofa in a soft gray velvet injects textural interest. The studio sourced a two-person chaise for comfortable TV watching.

Latin American art and a vintage lamp act as a foil to the formality of the architecture. A cowhide rug from Argentina and two antique Indian wood panels with mother of pearl inlay were sourced on a shopping trip and reflect the clients’ love of travel.

The main outdoor terrace functions as an outdoor family room and features concrete Cuban tiles.
