"Bathed in natural light and nestled within the leafy calm of Pinecrest, this 6,000-square-foot Miami residence designed by Marcela Cure offers a counterpoint to the city's louder design cliches. Rather than leaning into high-gloss exuberance or overt tropical motifs, Cure composed an interior rooted in softness where material nuance, tactile restraint, and quiet warmth redefine what a Miami home can feel like."
"The natural light in the property was amazing, she explains, which gave me the chance to use lighter nudes and tones that I naturally gravitate toward. The resulting palette is deliberately soothing: layered pastels, pale neutrals, and gentle nudes punctuated by occasional metallic accents. It's a language that still speaks to Miami's coastal lifestyle but in a more intimate, less predictable register."
"Rather than bold color blocking or graphic statements, Cure relies on tonal shifts and material contrasts to create depth and interest. Brass glows softly against stone; leather adds warmth to pale wood; woven textures temper the sleekness of contemporary forms. Natural materials anchor the home throughout. Wood, leather, stone, brass, and artisanal textiles appear again and again, selected not for spectacle but for how they age, patina, and respond to light."
A 6,000-square-foot Pinecrest residence emphasizes softness, material nuance, tactile restraint, and quiet warmth over high-gloss or overt tropical styling. Generous natural light and a landscaped lot with a large pool promote an indoor-outdoor living rhythm and informed a lighter, soothing palette of layered pastels, pale neutrals, and gentle nudes with occasional metallic accents. Tonal shifts and material contrasts create depth: brass glows against stone, leather warms pale wood, and woven textures temper sleek contemporary forms. Wood, leather, stone, brass, and artisanal textiles are chosen for how they age and patina, producing understated, livable luxury. Spatial reconfiguration and material continuity improve flow across rooms.
