Designed for Mandarin Oriental, Brickell Key, this residence expresses Ool Studio’s interpretation of contemporary luxury—where thoughtful architecture, tactile materials, and quiet elegance come together seamlessly.

The design concept is rooted in soft geometry, layered neutrals, and expressive natural materials, creating a serene yet elevated atmosphere throughout the residence. Each space is thoughtfully composed to balance visual impact with comfort, resulting in interiors that feel both sculptural and deeply livable.

The living areas are conceived as fluid, light-filled environments framed by expansive glazing. Curved seating compositions anchor the space, introducing softness against the architectural backdrop of stone-clad walls and integrated millwork. A custom marble feature wall, paired with a linear fireplace and minimal shelving, creates a strong focal point while maintaining visual calm.

Statement lighting—suspended and sculptural—adds rhythm and movement overhead, reinforcing the spatial flow without overwhelming the interior. Textural layering through rugs, upholstery, and finishes enhances warmth and depth.

The dining area is designed as an elegant extension of the living space, centered around a sculptural stone table and upholstered chairs with soft silhouettes. Overhead, delicate pendant lighting provides a refined contrast to the solid materiality below.

The kitchen balances functionality with architectural presence. A curved stone island with fluted detailing serves as both a visual centerpiece and a social hub. Integrated appliances, warm wood cabinetry, and subtle lighting details maintain a seamless and sophisticated aesthetic while prioritizing usability.

The bedroom is envisioned as a tranquil retreat, defined by a restrained palette, tactile finishes, and tailored lighting. Upholstered elements, soft rugs, and sculptural seating create an intimate atmosphere, while custom wall treatments and ceiling details add architectural interest without visual noise.

Adjacency between sleeping, lounging, and dressing areas is carefully considered to support flow and privacy, reinforcing a sense of calm continuity.

The walk-in closet is designed as a refined, boutique-like space. Custom millwork, integrated lighting, and stone accents elevate functionality into an experiential environment. Symmetry, proportion, and material contrast define the space, while a central vanity introduces both elegance and practicality.

Bathrooms are conceived as spa-inspired sanctuaries. Dramatic stone surfaces, floating vanities, and sculptural fixtures create a serene and immersive experience. Freestanding elements, warm metallic accents, and layered lighting transform daily rituals into moments of understated luxury.

Throughout the residence, Ool Studio emphasizes material integrity, spatial harmony, and timeless design. The result is an interior that feels curated yet effortless—luxurious without excess. Every detail is intentionally considered to support a refined lifestyle, reflecting the studio’s commitment to creating elegant, enduring spaces that resonate on both an architectural and emotional level.
