01 — The brief
One Miami is a pair of residential towers at the mouth of the Miami River. The associations wanted every corridor renewed with one consistent, upscale finish from the low floors to the penthouse levels.

One Miami — East & West Towers
Two towers, every residential corridor, residents home the whole time. Now we’re designing the party rooms.

- Sector
- Condo
- Schedule
- Mar 6 – Jul 31, 2025, both towers

- 45,000 sf per tower
- Materials

02 — The challenge
People live here. Every corridor is someone’s route home, to the elevator and to the trash room. The work had to move floor by floor without blocking a door, and finish in both towers within one season.
Design decisions
- ARound Midnight. A deep, quiet blue that hides traffic and reads as hospitality, not office.
- BMovement without busyness. Chromatic Cadence’s water-like tonal shift gives long corridors depth without a loud pattern.
- CStainless at every threshold. Schluter Schiene profiles protect the carpet edge at elevators and unit doors and match the building’s metal.
- DMock-up first. A full mock-up on the East Tower’s 12th floor, with the real tile and adhesive, was approved before production.
03 — How we solved it
We tested slab moisture before installing, then ran both towers in parallel, one floor at a time, documenting every floor from level 2 through 42 and both penthouse levels.
Residents kept access to their units throughout.
