A refined minimalist design crafted by STUDIO 818 for a Harbor Beach guest residence in Fort Lauderdale.
This full Modern Coastal renovation reimagined a mid-century Harbor Beach condominium into a warm, minimalist retreat. Designed for a retired entrepreneur who had recently sold his business, the residence serves as a dedicated guest home—balancing refined hospitality with quiet modern luxury. Kitchen, living spaces, baths, and closets were redefined to create a seamless Fort Lauderdale coastal experience.

The client, an accomplished entrepreneur newly retired after selling his company, envisioned this Harbor Beach condo as a guest residence that would reflect the same standards as his primary Coral Ridge home. With our Project Roadmap™ and Design Execution Framework™, STUDIO 818 reimagined the residence as a cohesive modern coastal retreat—a place where guests could experience serenity, connection, and understated luxury.

Key moves included reconfiguring the kitchen with an integrated bar for effortless entertaining, elevating the living areas with custom millwork and discreet lighting, and rethinking the master bath as a spa-inspired sanctuary featuring a marble portal shower, terrazzo flooring, and vertical wood-grain volume. Secondary baths and custom closet systems extended that same design discipline, ensuring every corner of the condo felt intentional.

The result: a refined minimalist design that transforms a once-fragmented condo into a cohesive guest experience, balancing tactile warmth with architectural clarity.

Modern Coastal Renovation with Refined Minimalist Design

This Harbor Beach condominium renovation demonstrates how STUDIO 818 transforms constraint into opportunity through refined planning and execution. Designed for an accomplished entrepreneur who had recently retired after selling his business, the residence was envisioned as a guest retreat that matched the sophistication of his Coral Ridge primary home and Cape Cod summer residence.

Modern Coastal Kitchen & Living Areas with Integrated Bar

Entertaining was central to the client’s vision. The kitchen was reimagined with concealed storage and warm, minimalist finishes, while an integrated bar design became a focal point for gatherings. In the living areas, custom millwork and discreet lighting strategies created a calm architectural backdrop that elevates art displays and improves circulation. These thoughtful refinements ensure the home supports both quiet guest stays and social evenings with ease.

Refined Minimalist Master Bath Transformation

The master bath renovation embodies the project’s architectural discipline. What had been a constrained, dated room is now a sanctuary defined by continuous vertical wood grain, terrazzo flooring, and a monolithic marble vanity. At its center, a marble portal shower acts as a sculptural volume, elongating the space and delivering a spa-caliber guest experience.

Guest Baths & Custom Closet Systems

The secondary guest bath and closet systems were given equal attention, extending comfort and cohesion across the residence. Custom-built closet systems add functionality and elegance, while the redesigned bath reflects the same serene palette and proportion as the master suite. Every corner of the condo was considered so that guests would feel not like visitors, but like residents of a thoughtfully designed coastal retreat.

Refined Minimalist Design for Harbor Beach Living

The completed project unifies the condo with natural materials, continuous sight-lines, and warm modern detailing. Each decision was guided by a commitment to refined minimalist design, allowing the home to breathe with lightness and clarity. For the client, this Harbor Beach residence is more than a guest condo, it is a reflection of his entrepreneurial achievements and a welcoming sanctuary for the people he values most.
