Dear Friends,​

Over the past 20 years, I have traveled throughout Spain extensively, visiting Madrid, Barcelona, and countless destinations in between. The weather, food, and people of Spain are all simply fantastic – full of energy and enthusiasm but poised and refined at the same time. I am also a huge fan of Spanish architects and artists, from Gaudi and Calatrava to Miro, Dali, and Picasso. All are exceptionally talented, modern and innovative and capture the vibrant essence that is Spain. That is why when Baltus recently requested if they might design my own Penthouse at the newly completed Apogee Beach property, I jumped on the opportunity. They did such an impressive, unique presentation. I fell in love with their designs almost instantly. And suddenly the idea popped into my head while visiting their showroom at the Design District, “I have to get more people to see these amazing luxurious designs... Refined modern lines, sumptuous fabrics, and surprising lacquered paneling, all at the utmost quality and withthe highest standards available.” They did it for my home, my penthouse at Apogee Beach. Now it will be done for everybody: and thus Baltus House was born. Their sophisticated and contemporary design approach makes the perfect complement for the elegant curved lines of the project we are designing steps from their studio in the Design District. They are as refined as the neighborhood of Baypoint and with a crisp, clean aesthetic as the gorgeous as the skies and waters of Biscayne Bay. And to give the entire property that authentic taste of Spain, Baltus House will also feature artwork by Lluís Barba, a Barcelona artist who is among one of my favorites and a fantastic garage mural by Venezuelan artist Jaime Gili It has been said that everything happens for a reason, in this particular case Baltus House will be walking distance from their showroom, their home in Miami. We are sure that you too will embrace finding your own home at Baltus House.
