Featuring a thoughtful design narrative crafted by Studio Munge, The Ritz-Carlton Residences South Beach reveals its charms as a contemporary expression of the local Art Deco and MiMo movements that pays homage to the past while embracing reimagined tailored craftsmanship. The bespoke reception lobby sets the tone, featuring a signature waving custom-cut stone floor pattern and a backdrop of artfully stacked wood fins, all accented by shimmering bronze metal. An oversized arch frames a bespoke white onyx reception desk, supported by a cinched bronze pedestal base, welcoming guests with a sense of luxury and sophistication. A journey through the ground floor reveals an ever-changing art gallery that pays homage to Sagamore's prestigious past, leading to an intimate screening room adorned with plush modernist loungers and sensual cognac mohair. The tiered room transforms seamlessly into a multipurpose event space, complete with a sculptural backlit onyx cocktail bar tucked behind a retractable screen.
The multi-layered 5th-floor experience continues with a fabulous outdoor pool, inviting sun loungers beneath playful umbrellas and four semi-private cabanas defined by slat wood partitions. Enhanced with state-of-the-art multimedia technology and suspended oversized pendants, these exclusive spaces are perfectly tailored for hosting intimate gatherings—from daytime festivities to soirées beneath the stars. The pool deck, adorned with a lively striped pattern in white and Dijon yellow, creates an idyllic backdrop for reveling in the breathtaking ocean views peeking through lush planters. This playful pattern seamlessly transitions into a charming checker motif within the pool, mirroring a captivating sculpture positioned at the deck's end.
Accessed through semi-private elevators, the residences offer a haven of privacy. Exuding a comforting sense of home and a connection to the magical scenery, the meticulously designed layouts are thoughtfully crafted to showcase the awe-inspiring views. The wide planks of rift-cut white oak hardwood flooring, set against an inviting neutral palette, serve as a subtle canvas, allowing residents' unique personalities to radiate through their customized living spaces.
The kitchens, a testament to exquisite style, feature sophisticated details, luxurious Kallista plumbing fixtures in brushed bronze finish, and top-of-the-line European Gaggenau appliances. The central all-stone island, complete with integrated sinks, captures the essence of the breathtaking architecture with its softly rounded corners. At the same time, diamond-bevelled inset sides impart a sense of dimension and couture detailing. Timelessly elegant, the carefully selected white stone showcases darker, contrasting veining and extends to embellish the backsplash and cloak the hood. White lacquer base cabinets harmonize seamlessly with the stone, while honey oak tower cabinetry, decorated with bronze metal inlays and custom curved handles, imparts a touch of precious detailing. Enhancing the kitchen's allure, reeded glass vitrines and an integrated dry cocktail bar contribute to its remarkable appeal.
Within the more spacious residences, the custom-designed islands boast an added layer of sophistication, featuring integrated half-moon upholstered banquette seating. Complementing this luxurious touch, additional cabinetry is equipped with temperature-controlled wine towers and double ovens, adding practicality and culinary opulence to these expansive kitchen spaces.
