I love creating places people love to be.
Like your Venezuelan American best friend's beach house. And his kitchen.

Working with award-winning restauranteur Giorgios Bakatsias of Giorgios Group, I work as an art director and interior designer. Here we renovated the lot of the 1950's Park Ave Hotel on South Beach at 23rd and Park, and transformed it into a 50-room, 5-star boutique hotel and restaurant.

A little vintage, a little retro… Welcome to Vintro!

The hotel has been sold to the Hilton Curio Hotels collection.
My only complaint is that they changed the scent blown through the air vents when you walk in, which I deliberately chose for its adventurous yet playful musk aroma.

My current project is an estate in Old Greenwich, Connecticut. Reach out for details.
