Behind this home was a simple goal: less space to maintain, more room to connect. The owners were coming from a much larger home and wanted a space that better reflected the way they live today. They love cooking, hosting friends and spending time together, so creating a home that brought those moments together was key.

The original layout kept the kitchen separate from the rest of the home. Opening it up meant rethinking how the kitchen, dining and living areas could work together, creating a more connected space for everyday life and entertaining.

Taking down walls changed more than the floor plan. It also meant finding a new way to incorporate the TV without interrupting the openness of the space. Instead of compromising the layout, we looked for a solution that could adapt to how the owners use their home.

The original setup gave the TV a fixed place in the living room. With the new open layout, we wanted something more flexible, so the living area could feel open when entertaining and comfortable for everyday downtime.

The mix of Shaker cabinetry, classic hardware and modern appliances brings together two different design sensibilities. The Cristallo quartzite adds a distinctive focal point, giving the kitchen character without overwhelming the rest of the space.

Opening up the kitchen required more than removing a wall. Every change had to be considered in relation to the surrounding spaces, the new layout and the way the home would function once everything came together. That’s where thoughtful design makes a difference.

Rather than changing layouts that already worked, we focused on the details that could make the bathrooms feel entirely different. A freestanding tub, a built-in shower bench and carefully selected finishes brought a more current feel while keeping the spaces practical.

These bathrooms didn’t need to be completely reconfigured to feel new. Updating the materials, fixtures and finishes allowed us to refresh the spaces while keeping the layouts that made sense for the owners.

AI can generate ideas. It can’t build them.

It can spot trends, give you a hundred options, and probably talk you into another bouclé chair.

But knowing which wall can come down?

Picking the material that holds up in Miami humidity?

Catching the detail that would have bugged you forever?

Turning a hundred decisions into one cohesive space?

That still takes people with experience, a good eye, and the occasional very strong opinion.

AI can have the ideas. We’ll make them real. 🔨

A full remodel isn’t always necessary. Adding value just means knowing where to invest. Swipe to see proof.

This Poggenpohl kitchen was already a showstopper — trends are circular, so we kept it. We just swapped the dated floor to match the rest of the space.

Lighting and ceilings get overlooked. But these moldings and fixtures didn’t match the modern renovation happening around them

Dropped ceilings + indirect light = instant new-construction feel.

Bathrooms are the tell. Along with the kitchen, they’re the two spaces that add the most value to a home.

We gutted three full bathrooms and rebuilt them in a neutral palette — timeless, but elevated enough for a 7,000+ sq ft home.

If one bathroom should be dressed to impress, it’s the powder room. It’s the one every guest sees.

A powder bath is your chance to make a statement. Tropical leaves? Done before. Done like this? Not quite. With a 180° ocean view, why not let the location do the talking.

A wet bar sounds like a good idea — until it’s an unused corner boxed in by 90s diagonal angles.

So we reimagined it: built-in seating that doubles as a reading nook or a second dining spot. Part of the living room, but a room of its own.

It’s not about updating your space. It’s about starting a new life in it.
Elemental started in 2007 as a design store — furniture, objects, ideas. That eventually grew into a full-service design + construction studio.
We start every project the same way: with curiosity. Who’s going to live here? What does their life look like in 10 years? That’s how we merge creative thinking with practical decisions.
This is one of the biggest investments our clients will ever make — so design, architecture and construction all sit under one team. Fewer handoffs. Better communication. More accountability. Someone always looking at the whole picture, not just their piece of it.
At the end of the day, we’re not just building beautiful spaces. We’re building the life that happens inside them.

We’re creating homes that feel good to live in.

That’s Elemental.
One team. One vision. From concept to move-in.

A moodboard is more than pretty pictures.

It’s where the decisions start: the colors that need to work together, the material that make sense for the way a space will be used, the one unexpected detail that gives a room some personality.

Sometimes the starting point is an existing element. Sometimes it’s a view, a client’s taste, or a very specific problem we need to solve.
Swipe through a few of the moodboards behind our projects and see how the pieces start coming together before anything gets built.

Good design starts with good decisions.

Every project has its own palette.

Sometimes it’s soft and neutral. Sometimes there’s a little more color. But it’s always about how the tones, materials and textures work together to create the feeling of a space.

We pulled the palettes straight from some of our projects — no color picking required. Just good spaces doing their thing.

Which one would you bring home?

Every project starts with a vision. But the best ones start with understanding the people who will live there.

For this family, Miami is more than home. It’s the place where everyone comes together, even when life takes them to different parts of the world. So we’re designing around that: a space that’s welcoming, personal, and made for connection.

It’s a little more traditional than what we usually do, but with plenty of color, character and the Elemental point of view we can’t help but bring to every project.

We’re still building it- stay tuned.

Thinking about your own space? Let’s talk.

Somewhere between floorplans and the finished space, you start to see it.

The materials, the furniture, the little details — we can picture where they’ll land long before they’re there. And we stay open to shifting or adding to that vision right up until the end.

That’s part of the fun.

Follow along to see how our projects come together.
