STORK’S BAKERY & COFFEE HOUSE EXTERIOR RENOVATION PROPOSED DESIGN AND VISUAL PROCESS

This renovation project posed a challenge that required the use of inspiration from beyond the confines of Wilton Manors. The aim was to avoid the usual color palette used by similar buildings within the area. Instead, the colors are inspired by retail, commercial, and residential architecture. The building facades embody bold hues, matt blacks, bronze, alabaster, and grays. These colors exude modernism, warmth, and elegance, and invite people in while perfectly harmonizing with the eloquently designed tropical landscape.

FACADES VISUAL CHARACTER AND INSPIRATION

Collins Avenue, Miami Beach Master Bedroom Renovation

Upon first glance, the Master Bedroom may appear to be purposely staged, almost deliberately abandoned, and decayed by time. However, the truth is that this dwelling is located in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Miami Beach, providing mesmerizing views of the ocean. The client is a dear friend who spends most of his time working, leaving him with very little time to relax at home. Initially, this project seemed challenging, but after brainstorming and sketching possible design outcomes, I trusted that the GC onboard would bring forth his attention to detail to deliver a soothing, warm, and simply elegant place where the client could unwind with a glass of wine and a great movie to end the night.

STORK’S INTERIOR RENOVATION

STORK'S BAKERY & COFFEE HOUSE has been a landmark in Wilton Manors for over 25 years. It has been an ideal opportunity to apply the experience gained in the cruise industry when refurbishing and elevating the design of a brand. One of the critical aspects of retail renovation is to rediscover areas within existing space that can be transformed in such a way that it becomes a source of revenue. Stork's was certainly not the exception. The challenge to refurbish the interior of this Coffee House had several vital aspects that needed to be considered as per the wishes of the CEO. The existing traditional design had to remain as requested by the owner and the loyal customers who have embraced Stork's as the venue where memories have been created over the years.

Our approach was to blend two worlds, the traditional aspects of interior architecture with the contemporary elements of the current times. This approach embraces the past and welcomes modern interior design's functional and elegant innovative features.
