Cracker Jack: Surprise on the Inside
This Miami Shores home’s vanilla exterior belies the seductions hiding within. Cross the threshold of the 1920s-era suburban residence into a curvaceous, creative remodel. Picture perfect—the house is a photoshoot darling—the home’s sharp angles have been softened by arching niches and sculpted entries refashioned with signature panache by Emmanuelle Design.
A soft, seductive delight inside classic packaging, this neighborhood home’s updated interior comes as a welcome surprise. Serene, sinuous lines have been sculpted from the typical boxy suburban framework, creating a space that feels like a lingering earthy embrace. Matte plasters and pale wood add to the curving serenity of the interior, and a contemporary kitchen anchors the home’s heart, designed expressly for generous gathering and connection.
AROUND
Miami Shores offers a taste of early American suburbia, with its tree-lined streets and tidy sidewalks of single-family residences offset by leafy park spaces. Located a 20-minute drive from downtown Miami and a few miles from Miami Beach, the neighborhood dates from the 1920s and 1930s, and is one of Miami’s originals. The neighborhood has views of Biscayne Bay and its own downtown area, Miami Shores Village, a shopping and dining district that’s also home to the Optimist Park Sculpture Garden, several oak-shaded park spaces with public art installations, and a palm-lined walking path through its own Bayfront Park (not to be confused with the downtown Miami park of the same name). Known for its Art Deco, Mediterranean Revival and Miami Modern (MiMo) architecture, the district offers small-town charm in its churches, parks and residential streets, a scenic country club and golf course, and a Catholic university. The Miami Shores Aquatic Center is a great family wonderland, and the neighborhood is close to the glitzy Design District, home of Art Basel Miami, Wynwood, and Midtown.
