Season 15 - Miami Beach Condo
Miami Beach, FL
View Project Location in Google Maps
For the first eight episodes of Season 15, Bob Vila heads to the land of sun and fun: Miami Beach, Florida. He discovers that while most of glamorous "South Beach" has already been developed and real estate comes at a premium, there are still hot buys to be found north of the Deco District.
Just off the Venetian Causeway on a manmade island with gorgeous views of the Miami skyline and Biscayne Bay, he finds a small and very dated condo in a high-rise building and undertakes a high-style renovation. We learn about architect Morris Lapidus, the creator of the Fontainebleau and Eden Roc hotels and trendsetter for 1950's and '60s Miami Beach, and team up with the New York architectural/design team to the stars, Pierce Allen.
Bob shows how removing the popcorn ceiling and wall-to-wall carpet, knocking down walls to open up the space for today's lifestyle, and even refurbishing the existing 1960's aluminum slider and window puts this tired little apartment on the fast track into the next millennium. With glass tile, hip furnishings, custom glass pocket doors, fun curves, and a new take on using old-school products like cork flooring and laminates, this project is a breath of fresh air.
