High Pines, Miami
5 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms | 3,300 Sq. Ft. Renovation + Primary Suite Addition | Design, Planning, Permitting & Construction | 2023
Project Overview
Scope: Full interior renovation of a 3,300 sq. ft. family home, including a new primary suite addition, all new kitchen and bathrooms, redesigned pool and outdoor living, and a complete systems upgrade.
Focus: Transform a compartmentalized layout into an open, connected home with strong indoor–outdoor flow and a private primary suite — designed to support long-term family life with comfort and ease.
Result: A bright, contemporary residence that feels spacious, warm, and fully connected — from the kitchen island to the outdoor kitchen to the pool.
Before the Renovation
The High Pines home was a well-located, well-built family residence, but it had reached the limits of its original layout. A compartmentalized home with enclosed kitchen and dining, limited indoor–outdoor connection, outdoor laundry, and an undersized primary suite, it no longer fit how the owners lived.
New Living Areas
Living, dining, and kitchen areas were combined into one space designed for everyday use and entertaining. An island anchors the kitchen, and a convenient laundry and mudroom was located behind the kitchen through a hidden door.
Master Suite Addition
A newly constructed primary suite with direct access to the outdoors added space for the growing family. The addition included a walk-in closet and a luxury bathroom with steam-shower.
Indoor Outdoor
The kitchen, living area, and primary suite were all opened to the patio, where a redesigned pool and deck, a new outdoor kitchen, and warm wood ceiling create a space built for family entertaining. A new wood entry door and ceiling detail connect the design from front to back.
