Discussing Architectural Ideas for the Miami Condo
As it was designed in 1967 for tenants from another era, Bob and project architect Michael Pierce agree about plans for the apartment. Replacing the dark, cramped feeling in the condo will be an experience of light and air and views to the outside.
Clip Summary
Bob and project architect Michael Pierce brainstorm ideas for this small condo with a great view of Biscayne Bay. Pierce believes the space needs to be opened up. The interior is dark on account of the closed interior spaces (kitchen, bathroom, dressing room, closets) and the deep navy blue carpeting.
In addition to flattening, and making reflective, the "popcorn" ceiling, Pierce suggests creating an open, airy loft experience (if the tenant board allows). The emphasis, according to Piece, must be on maximizing the amount of natural light admitted into the deeper portions of the apartment, while enhancing the wide, expansive views.
Having been designed in 1967 for tenants from another era, the Miami apartment is going to be gutted, the demolished interior making way for a light-filled space with views from almost ever corner of the condo.
