It wouldn’t be a Miami penthouse without some jaw-dropping views, and with the right residential architects by your side, you can make sure you maximize their impact in your space.
Penthouses offer an elevated lifestyle in more ways than one for Miami’s luxury condo owners. And while there’s certainly something to be said for the breathtaking architecture and interior design elements in the city’s coveted penthouse residences, what really makes a penthouse special is its views.
As a luxury interior design team, we work closely with high-end residential architects to make sure our penthouse clients get the most out of their views. In doing so, we help ensure that these impressive views of sea, sand, city, and sky are not just incorporated into the home but are a true highlight of the penthouse design. Below, we’re sharing some of the ways we do this, plus some of the other unique penthouse features that deserve to be celebrated and enjoyed.
Miami’s penthouses have views unlike anywhere else. It’s the job of residential architects and interior design professionals to both consider these views and capitalize on them, making sure that the sky-high aesthetic is worthy of its sky-high price point.

Visit the penthouses in some of the city’s luxury condo developments, and you’ll see certain features appear again and again, including:
As interior designers, we love working with residential architects to showcase a penthouse’s views and other features.
Every penthouse project we work on is unique, but residents do tend to stick to some major themes that only an interior design expert can bring out in the space. These include Miami-inspired color palettes (think vibrant greens and blues, neutral tones that compliment the surrounding ocean and sky, or the all-white motif that’s a mainstay of Miami Modern design); contemporary and minimalist furniture (streamlined and elegant pieces paired with open and airy layouts that enhance the sense of space); Miami-inspired art and decor (local artist pieces and other works that bring in elements of the city’s rich cultural history); and sustainable and eco-friendly design (energy-efficient lighting and appliances, and the use of locally-sourced and sustainable materials).
Hand-in-hand with residential architects, interior pros ensure a holistic approach to penthouse design that blends aesthetics, functionality, and the surrounding environment. And with views like that, this approach is one you definitely want front and center during the design planning and execution process.
