Sophisticated Luxury by Pfuner Design

ByJon Dykstra Houses

Studio: Pfuner Design
Location: Sunny Isles Beach

This 5,800-square-foot, two-story penthouse is located in a modern oceanfront high-rise in Sunny Isles Beach. We wanted the space to look light and translucent while luxurious and rich at the same time. We based our design decisions on the client’s taste, the architecture of the building, and the location, creating a contemporary and inviting second home for our Chicago-based client. The award-winning design has been featured in design magazines and TV shows worldwide.
