The Conversation - Suchi Reddy. Exotic woods, metals, fabrics, resins and even garden hoses make up the design by Reddy Made Design. It surprises with visually appealing elements, such as the column at the entrance, with its kinetic coating that moves with the viewer. Strong, punctual colors evoke the tropics and highlight the furniture by Oscar Niemeyer, the Campana brothers and other great Latin American designers.

Suna - Yield Design Studio. This retreat for nature lovers and minimalists combines Florida greenery with a Zen teahouse. Tropical plants and floor cushions create a casual atmosphere. The contrast between materials and the use of cork, brass, wood and ceramic surfaces is also striking.

Tarsila Hall copyright © Tarsila Empreendimentos - Paulo Alves Design. The elevator lobby has been converted into an art gallery, with walls displaying tapestries inspired by famous paintings by modernist artist Tarsila do Amaral.

Skēnē Studio - Gustavo Neves. With references to soprano Maria Callas - whose arias play in a remixed version in the background -, the project invests in drama. Dark wall coverings, dotted with metal, as well as ropes and stone cabinets create this mood. In the main room, the highlight is the interactive magnetic installation by Luis Pons.

Office GA - Jonathan Gonzalez. The standard bedroom has been transformed into a gallery setting, displaying examples of geometric architecture and furniture against a white background. Linear lighting fixtures create stripes that disrupt the otherwise neutral surfaces.

A Study in Blue - Roye. Wood, concrete, linen, wool and leather warm the room and enrich it with textures, while wallpaper creates an optical illusion. An inviting place to enjoy the paintings of Jean-Paul Mallozzi and Julio Rondo. Technology is present in monitoring the quality of air, water and light, at the same time that lighting stimulates the body's rhythms to improve mood and energy.

Jungla - Sandra Diaz-Velasco. The entrance lobby is striking with large objects and the contrast between the warmth of the wood and the coldness of the metal surfaces. Another highlight is the way it explores nuances of gold, silver, blue, green and orange in the decoration. "The colors are used to express nature in all its splendor, connecting the environment with the lush vegetation outside," says Diaz-Velasco.

Ponce Berga - Victor Berga and Michael Jon Radziewicz. The project straddles the residential and institutional spaces, paying homage to the gallery known for its inventory of 20th-century furniture and accessories. Critically acclaimed pieces sit alongside lesser-known pieces, such as a small plastic and wood table. Fluent forms and organic materials, such as leather and sheepskin, create a natural atmosphere. The artwork was designed by Tamuna Sirbiladze and John Szarkowski.

Pininfarina Bar - Paolo Pininfarina. Ferrari designer Paolo Pininfarina created this elegant sculptural bar surrounded by greenery. Measuring over 18 feet long, it has a wooden base, a polished white lacquer finish and a blue leather front. It is hand-stitched and bears the designer's trademark.

Sky Line Penthouse Garden - Fernando Wong. "It's as if the space were floating above the city," says the professional, who imagined a young couple receiving their guests on a tropical terrace. The lightness comes from the different shades of white in the furniture, accessories and the marble statue by Italian artist Oriano Galloni.

White Hotel - Studio Guilherme Torres. White predominates in the hotel room of this international couple, who are probably in the city to attend the Art Basel exhibition. Translucent curtains preserve the view of the city and filter the light, along with the cut-out panel. Low furniture with organic lines brings fluidity. To soften the solid surfaces, natural fabrics and wood.

Room with a view - Leo Romano. For those who love unusual spaces, a place to read and investigate curiosities around you. The room has miniatures and stuffed animals housed in dark cabinets that hug the bed. The mix of prints and light shades of pink and blue lend a lightness to the project, which also includes pieces created in partnership with artist Iêda Jardim.

The Garden Bar - Adriana Mavignier Madeira. The vastness of the terrace inspired the creation of smaller, protected areas connected by flora. Palm trees, philodendrons and ferns were mixed together, using pots of different heights. All to create comfortable perspectives for guests who walk around or enjoy the beanbags, while chatting and admiring the Miami skyline.

Art Trend - Roberto Migotto. In this contemporary kitchen and living room, the intention is to highlight the works of art. Wallpaper in a pale pistachio shade creates a muted background for modern sculptures and photographs by Massimo Listri and Araquém Alcantara. And elegance prevails in the curvy velvet sofa, geometric tables and tropical wooden armchairs. The large rug designed by the architect rounds it off - it was handwoven in Nepal, in wool and silk.

A White Canvas - Roque Saldias. Modern furniture by Arne Jacobsen and Jaime Hayon provides a comfortable vantage point to admire art and valuables, including handcrafted alpaca rugs. Like a jewelry box, the space is enveloped in the natural tones of wool, gold and alabaster, with white walls.

Urbanitas Master Bedroom - Leo Shehtman. The urban suite emphasizes the differences: the landscape of the wallpaper has personality and contrasts with dark gray tiles, while the contemporary nature of the leather bed contrasts with the mid-century design of the furniture. The black and white rug is at the center of everything and reinforces the sobriety of the line and color scheme. The cosmopolitan atmosphere is completed by the great photographs by Raphael Macek, Gigi Monteiro and Vander Bersewish.

Multi-Use Space for the Modern Man - Tatiana Moreira. The room functions as a library, home office, living room, bar and guest room with a retractable bed in just 27 m², for a man from the metropolis who doesn't give up sunlight. Light gray, military green, pale pink and gold affirm the urban mood of the project. The Italian furniture and walnut flooring were elegant choices. Shelves are mirrored and filled with books and photographs.

A Tropical Urban Dreamland - Shim Projects + Genius Jones. More than a nursery for babies, this conceptual space was inspired by western views of Miami's sprawling cityscape. Wallpaper pushes creative boundaries and, together with animal-shaped furniture, offers a different point of view on everyday life.

Geometric experiment #2 - Cable Design. The lines are blurred between painting, sculpture and interior design, in this installation project by Carlos Falkenhagen. The room is the center of attention with designs by Anderssen & Voll and Pedro Useches. The color palette is intentionally restricted, with pastel shades of blue and yellow, in a play between solid colors and pure shapes.

Family Room/Office - Dado Castello Branco. A young couple with a passion for music, visual arts and literature inspired this 30m2 space. The loose layout and blend of Brazilian and Italian design suggest several possible functions, including living and working. The artworks reflect tranquility and share a beach theme, designed by Vik Muniz, Massimo Vitali, Marcos Chaves and Josef Hoflener.
