Modern Hotel Design | Motel Bianco | Miami | Florida | DEN Architecture
Sustainability starts by preserving existing buildings, through savings in labor, materials, transportation, and all the embodied energy stored within. The re-branded Motel Bianco is a 1950's building, originally designed in a mid-century local vernacular style referred to as "Mimo" (short for "Miami Modern"). The end product, a collaboration between Den Architecture and Dada design, allowed the structure to maintain it's historic character while upgrading it to current building codes.
The majority of work occurred in the lobby and the courtyard. Walls and partitions were removed to create a light-filled, spacious lobby with tropical tones and retro-modern furnishings. Decorative railings and historic motifs were faithfully preserved and integrated with the proposed design. The courtyard, previously a neglected concrete patio, became a lively social scene with composite wood decking made of recycled plastic milk jugs, native tropical landscaping, and comfortable outdoor furniture. With the remodel, the motel became a boutique lounge, increasing occupancy tenfold. The clientele is now a diverse crowd of artists and tourists from all over the world............more

Boutique Hotel Design In Miami | The Villa By Barton G Miami Beach
The Villa By Barton G., a boutique hotel, restaurant and events space, was born as Casa Casuarina in 1930, built by architect, philanthropist, author and political reformer Alden Freeman as an homage to the oldest existing house in the western hemisphere, the "Alcazar de Colon" in Santo Domingo.
In 1937, after Freeman's death, Casa Casuarina was bought by Jacques Amsterdam, who renamed it "The Amsterdam Palace." Operated as an apartment building, it housed artists attracted by its architectural curiosity.
In 1992, couturier Gianni Versace first encountered Casa Casuarina. Versace exquisitely restored, expanded, and embellished its features, adding the south wing, the pool and garden areas.
