Miami’s historic bayfront building will soon host Casa Décor ’06 showcasing some of South Florida’s most innovative interior design talent. If you’ve never heard of Casa Décor, the Madrid based show house has attracted more than 140,000 visitors to its events held throughout Europe.
According to the U.S president of Casa Décor, the shows are a platform to showcase contemporary projects and trends. The company is known for using venues that have been neglected and need refurbishing.
The Bayfront building was completed in 1926 and is a landmark of Miami real estate. Renovations to the 20,000 square foot, 5-story Mediterranean Revival building are being estimated at more than 3 million. Improvements are to include a Balinese themed café by Belle Meade landscaper Stanley Matz. The center courtyard café will feature waterfalls and an eight-foot Buddha head.
Air-conditioning will be installed for the first time and the front of the building is being appointed with a rectangular lily pond and flower clad metallic pillars. The building’s backyard which overlooks the stunning bay of Miami will feature a beach scene with lounging beds and palm trees courtesy of the Ritz Carlton.
Casa Decor will be a wonderful chance to get some ideas on how to better utilize space and incorporate modern elements into your South Florida home.
Casa Décor opens Friday, November 10 and runs through Sunday, December 17. It will be open daily during that period from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
