Project description:
The newly completed David Yurman flagship in Miami’s Design District is a testament to collaborative design, featuring a striking stone facade with a face-lit logo. Inside, masterfully crafted stone millwork and elegant vitrines display jewelry, while a wood and stone stairwell leads to a luxurious VIP room with book-matched wood walls and a reflective stainless-steel ceiling. This meticulously executed space offers a refined and immersive brand experience.
Special highlights/challenges of the project:
Complex detailing of material transitions: Ensuring seamless and aesthetically pleasing transitions between the numerous stone elements and other finishes required rigorous review and precise detailing.
Significant structural coordination due to the weight of the stone: The sheer volume of stone used demanded close collaboration with the structural engineer to design and implement robust, often concealed, support systems.
Coordination of lighting and HVAC systems: Integrating the HVAC diffusers within the custom track lighting required careful planning and collaboration between the lighting designers and mechanical engineers to ensure both effective climate control and the desired aesthetic.
