Material Selection for Villa Serena – A Full-Service Design Journey
At Ginard Studio, every project is more than a collection of drawings — it’s a journey of creativity, collaboration, and precision. This week, our team visited the Pedini showroom alongside our client to select materials for Villa Serena House, our tropical-modern residence currently under construction in Brickell, Miami.
This visit marks an important stage in the design process, where architectural vision begins to materialize through texture, tone, and detail.
A Full-Service Approach to Design
As a full-service architecture firm, Ginard Studio manages every phase of the project — from architectural design and permitting to interior design and construction administration. The material selection process is one of the most meaningful moments within that journey. It’s where our client’s lifestyle and aspirations merge with our design intent, creating spaces that feel personal, elegant, and timeless.
At Villa Serena, our team carefully curated finishes that reflect the home’s tropical-modern character — warm woods, natural stone, and soft, neutral tones that harmonize with natural light. These materials not only define the home’s personality but also enhance its connection to nature, a defining principle of our architectural philosophy.
Collaboration at the Center
Our visit to the Pedini showroom exemplifies the collaborative spirit that drives each Ginard Studio project. By working closely with our clients and trusted partners, we ensure that every design decision — from the cabinetry finish to the texture of the stone — aligns with the project’s overall narrative.
These tactile experiences are invaluable. They allow both the design team and the client to visualize how each material interacts with others, ensuring that the final composition achieves the refined simplicity and balance that characterize our work.
Villa Serena: The Design Vision
Villa Serena House is a 5,400-square-foot residence defined by openness, natural light, and a seamless dialogue between indoors and outdoors. The facade combines natural stone and wood, while the interiors feature a striking wood-paneled corridor with integrated lighting and greenery.
The materials selected at Pedini will complement these architectural gestures, reinforcing the home’s serene atmosphere.
Following the Journey
The material selection phase represents another milestone in the ongoing realization of Villa Serena House — a residence where architecture and interior design coexist as one.
From early sketches to on-site coordination, Ginard Studio remains deeply involved in every step, ensuring that design quality and intent are preserved through completion. This hands-on approach defines our full-service philosophy, providing clients with confidence and continuity throughout the entire process.
We look forward to sharing the next stages of Villa Serena’s journey as construction advances — from interior installations to the final reveal of this tropical-modern retreat.
