Renovated 1970's Boca Raton Condominium

This 1970s Boca Raton condominium presented a rare architectural challenge: an 8′ 0″ slab to slab height requiring all lighting and mechanical systems to be fully concealed, alongside monumental 8″ thick concrete piers rotated on a dramatic 45 degree axis. Rather than conceal these constraints, we used architecture itself as the solution.

By sculpting four distinct ceiling planes ranging from 6′ 8″ to 8′ 0″, we created up to 16 inches of hidden volume for lighting and ductwork—preserving spatial clarity while enhancing comfort and functionality. The result is a space that feels expansive, calm, and intentional.

Guided by the client’s desire for Zen like simplicity, we curated a restrained, natural palette: limestone floor slabs, large format porcelain in wet areas, hand troweled plaster walls, distressed oak millwork, and a nuanced interplay of transparent and translucent glass. Every material was chosen for its quiet beauty, tactile presence, and ability to age gracefully.

The finished residence is a serene architectural retreat—where technical precision meets timeless restraint, and thoughtful design transforms limitation into quiet luxury.
