You will find the latest and greatest top and concepts. There’s so much to discover so let’s kick things off with the cover story, “A Case for Contemporary” ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Tucked into the peaceful neighborhood of Olympia Heights in Southwest , a sprawling, modernist house that spans approximately 7,000 square feet represents the latest finely crafted project in the rather-packed portfolio of designers Rafaela Simoes and Laila Colvin of 2id Interiors (2id Interiors - Miami).
“We collaborated closely with the clients and architect Danny Sorogon to ensure a cohesive dialogue between architecture and interiors from the very beginning,” says Simoes. “Our design was guided by a contemporary aesthetic and warm, natural elements that balance clean lines with inviting textures.”
After consulting with ARCO, the house’s builder, the design team created a floor plan to maximize openness and fluidity between spaces, particularly in the main living areas, where double-height ceilings enhance the sense of volume and light. Carefully curated, the furnishings were selected to complement the architecture, favoring low-profile silhouettes, neutral palettes, and tactile materials. “Natural woods, stone surfaces, and soft textiles were used throughout to create a sense of warmth and continuity,” notes Colvin. “Custom-designed elements, including millwork, built-in cabinetry, and integrated shelving, play a key role in defining the spaces while maintaining a clean, cohesive look.”
