Demilune | YODEZEEN Architects

Demilune is a 4,115 square feet apartment located on the 5th floor of Ritz-Carlton Residences in Sunny Isles Beach. The residence got its unusual name due to its radial shape, and the abundance of panoramic windows that make it glow and open the views of the ocean, the city, and the Intracoastal Waterway. The season here stands motionless because the color palette of the interior and its accents immerse residents in the feeling of eternal summer.

Demilune consists of a common area already usual to Yodezeen. It houses the living, dining, and kitchen areas flooded with daylight from a semicircle of panoramic windows. The common area continues into the next space, which serves as a family area and has access to one of the four terraces. In addition to the unusual shape, there is an abundance of terraces with access from the common area, the master block, and two children's blocks. The total area of all terraces is 475 square feet, which makes the project airy and immersed in the summer atmosphere of a quiet barrier island. Demilune also includes a guest block and a spacious master block with a combined bedroom, bathroom, and wardrobe.

Also, this project stands out in the quantity and choice of natural materials. Oak is one of the favorite materials of Yodezeen's designers, but here they have used it in an unusual way. Oak veneer sheathes not only the walls but also the ceilings in the kitchen area and the master bedroom. Moreover, oak also appears in swing panels, which seem to string this material to the floor. This technique allows playing more with the light coming from the panoramic windows. The team also made the swing panels in the family room area from a light marble.
