Leed F Mindel’s most recent project sits on a luxurious pied-à-Terre he finished for a family of four, in the Mid-Beach neighborhood of Miami Beach. Inside Faena District, this condominium shares a six-block-long complex with Norman Foster-designed apartments, an arts center by Rem Koolhaas, and a Faena hotel fancifully outfitted by the film director Baz Luhrmann and his wife, the costume designer Catherine Martin.

The design features mostly white, establishing the minimalistic concept, along with the eccentric color touches that sit on the boldness of the designer. Mindel employs a series of dramatic hues and wittily knowing shapes to offset the neutrality and give the place a subtle subtext. It also reflects the district’s signature crayon hues, especially the cherry red and white–striped beach umbrellas, lifeguard stands, and cabanas that dot the resort’s substantial ocean frontage.

In the living room, which stands on a geometry concept and that makes it feel like a ship’s prow, the aura of the sea is evoked by azure glass millwork. Custom Ico Parisi-inspired sofas seem like low waves, and the long light fixtures on the ceiling are staggered like a school of fish. According to Lee F Mindel, his “mission is to create a sense of joy”!
