Peek inside this mid-century modern tropical home in Miami Beach that takes inspiration from Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa
Nestled along the sun-kissed stretch of the Biscayne Point neighbourhood in Miami Beach, Florida lies this beautiful mid-century modern tropical oasis. Taking inspiration from the location and setting, this 4,500 sq ft South Florida home is at once both sophisticated and relaxed, with a clever mix of art deco elements and natural materials.
The owners–a young family with two children–recently relocated to Miami Beach from Dallas, Texas and love spending time out on the water. They sought an abode that resonated with their active lifestyle and entrusted the design of their home to Josh Evan and Michael Edward Moirano, co-founders of Evan Edward, an architecture and interior design studio based in New York City.

“Our client knew she wanted to take advantage of the Miami deco influences but not in an obvious way. It had to feel like a beach house but sophisticated and functional,” shared Evan about the owners. “Her amazing sense of fashion and confident style really informed the process. Miami is known for its lush landscape, beautiful water views, and spectacular sunrises and sunsets all of which were considered when designing the residence.”
For Evan and Moirano, who have backgrounds in fashion and architecture respectively, this was a particularly significant project. “We had just launched our firm one month before connecting with the clients,” says Moirano. “This is our first major ground-up, new build project. We always bring intense passion to our projects but with this, we really had something to say and achieve for our clients and ourselves. It organically took on a life of its own.”
