Picture Perfect In Sunny Isles

An Oceanfront Getaway Shows That Minimalism Leaves Room For More Than Meets The Eye.

- Rachel Cohen

It was clear from the start that the view of the Atlantic Ocean is essential to this home in Sunny Isles, Fla., an area known for its spectacular views and oceanfront property. Situated on the sandy shores of a barrier island, one 2,600-square-foot condominium on the 28th floor of the third of three Trump Towers is the epitome of what such a vibrant location has to offer. And when designer Raquel Mothe took on the task of styling a fitting interior, she did so with the owner’s desire for a unique modern retreat in mind.

Working as a team, Mothe and the owner chose the prevalent design features. “It was great,” the designer says. “We went shopping to see all of the furnishings. She wanted to be a part of the process and knew exactly what she wanted.”
