Villa Serena Construction Update: First Floor Structure Takes Shape in Brickell, Miami
At Ginard Studio, we are excited to share the latest construction progress for Villa Serena, our luxury residential project currently under construction in Brickell, Miami. Following demolition, site preparation, foundation work, and the completion of the slab-on-grade, the project has now reached another important milestone: the first floor structure is taking shape.
This phase marks the moment when the architectural vision begins to emerge physically from the site, transforming drawings and permits into a built reality.
A Modern Residence in the Heart of Brickell
Villa Serena is a custom-designed tropical modern residence that reflects our commitment to thoughtful architecture, efficient planning, and timeless design. Located on a lot in Brickell, the project required careful coordination throughout design, permitting, and construction to respect the unique conditions of the site while delivering a contemporary home tailored to modern living.
As a full-service architecture and interior design project, Ginard Studio remains actively involved throughout construction, providing Construction Administration services to ensure the design vision is executed with precision.
Site Progress Highlights
Construction activities completed to date include:
Demolition of the existing structure.
Site preparation and excavation.
Foundation and slab-on-grade construction.
Pool excavation and structural coordination.
Installation of reinforced concrete columns and walls.
Preparation and construction of the first floor structural slab.
With the structural framework now becoming visible, the proportions and spatial organization of the residence can be fully appreciated for the first time.
From Foundation to Vertical Construction
The transition from groundwork to vertical construction is one of the most significant moments in any residential project. It is during this stage that spaces begin to take shape, circulation paths become visible, and the relationship between indoor and outdoor areas starts to emerge.
For Villa Serena, this milestone highlights the careful coordination between architecture, engineering, and construction teams that has guided the project from concept through execution.
The reinforced concrete structure currently under construction will provide the foundation for the clean architectural lines, expansive openings, and indoor-outdoor lifestyle that define the design.
What Comes Next
As work progresses, the project will continue advancing through the structural phase, including the completion of upper-level elements and preparation for the building enclosure.
Upcoming activities include:
Completion of the elevated structure.
Roof slab preparation and concrete placement.
Installation of exterior wall systems.
Window and door coordination.
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins.
Each milestone brings Villa Serena closer to becoming a completed residence and a new addition to Brickell's evolving residential landscape.
A Collaborative Effort
Projects like Villa Serena are the result of close collaboration between owners, consultants, builders, and design professionals. We are proud to continue guiding the project through construction and ensuring that every decision supports the original architectural intent.
This month's construction photographs capture the progress achieved on site and the transformation of Villa Serena from foundation work to a recognizable architectural form.
Stay tuned for future updates as we continue bringing this residence to life in Brickell, Miami.
