A conversation with Katie Earl on The Delmore: designing a masterpiece
When you step into The Delmore‘s sales gallery in Miami Beach, it’s immediately clear that this property is not like any other. You pass through a gate, verify your identity with security, and enter a cool, darkened corridor where a 75-foot digital lagoon shimmers overhead. A swimmer languidly glides across the ceiling. You are no longer in Surfside; you are inside a film.
A film, it turns out, set designed by Katie Earland the team at HBA.
I sat down with Earl to discuss how she approached the project, the nuances of designing for the ultra-wealthy, and why a team of women might just be the perfect stewards for a $150 million penthouse.
