We know, it's all a bit confusing. "MiMo" is the name of our eclectic neighborhood on Miami's Upper Eastside and it also refers to "Miami Modernist" architecture - a regional style of design that developed in South Florida during the post-war period.
MiMo design melds a bit of Hollywood glamour, an appreciation of the organic and a fascination with the future to create something completely distinct.
From the undulating curves of our architecture to the carefully selected artwork on our walls, we've embraced the aesthetic and even updated it a bit to give it a modern twist.

Interact with the images below to learn more about what inspired our spaces....
A concrete canopy inspired by mid-century modern geometric shapes seamlessly integrates into the building's curved facade.
Mature palms were lowered in by crane after the canopy was installed to create a pairing of the organic forms and nature itself.
Designed in Italy, Kettal Bitta daybeds are inspired by the Acapulco chairs often found in mid-century modern design.
Textile accent colors have been upgraded to the modern tropical oranges and cognac leathers of today.
Little details like blue mosaic tile (vs. the typical poured concrete) give our pool a luxurious feel and make the water sparkle. Plus, the seamless integration of the tile on our pool's edge means you can slide right in with no scratched legs or pulled swimsuits.
Vintage with a sleek modern twist, Tambour-styled teak wood slats on our kitchen island are a fresh take on mid-century design, while matte black elements keep the space feeling contemporary.
Water views never go out of style. Set on our top floor and featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, our entertaining kitchen has beautiful views of the bay.
Timeless furniture such as the classic and elegant Tulip-style table and the Wishbone and Gubi chairs, have true staying power.
The Wishbone chair was inspired by portraits of Danish merchants sitting in Ming Chairs and has been produced since 1950.
Likewise, the iconic 1947 Gubi chair features minimalist elegance and enduring comfort that still feels modern today.
