SV Apartment is a half-floor luxury residence at One Thousand Museum in Miami — the iconic residential tower by Zaha Hadid Architects overlooking Museum Park and Biscayne Bay. Designed by Nar Design Studio as a full turnkey interior renovation, the 4,600-square-foot condominium was conceived for a client whose passion for music and contemporary art called for something far more expressive than a conventional high-rise interior. The project explores the intersection of organic architecture, advanced fabrication, and futuristic design, creating an immersive living environment where sculptural forms and technology merge into a coherent spatial experience shaped by the building’s extraordinary architectural language.
Nar Design Studio managed the project from concept through completion — encompassing interior architecture, space planning, lighting design, custom millwork, construction coordination, and furnishing procurement. The interior concept unfolds through a dynamic interplay of solids and voids, where curved surfaces, custom architectural elements, and innovative lighting systems shape a fluid spatial narrative. The result is a contemporary tropical oasis infused with a refined monochromatic palette and high-tech detailing — an atmosphere that feels both futuristic and deeply calming within one of Miami’s most architecturally significant towers.
At the heart of the Great Room lies a sculptural bar that serves as both focal point and architectural statement. Designed to embrace the structural column and integrate with the surrounding architecture, the bar’s organic geometry creates a continuous flow through the living space. The design incorporates parametric modeling and thermoformed fabrication techniques to achieve its complex curvature. Constructed with KRION® solid surface by Porcelanosa Group, the piece combines sculptural elegance with high-performance material properties. Divided into four custom-fabricated sections and assembled on-site, the installation demonstrates the level of coordination between advanced fabrication and precise on-site craftsmanship that defines Nar Design Studio’s approach to luxury residential interiors in Miami.
The ceiling and lighting design were conceived as integral architectural elements — not decorative additions. A two-layer stretched membrane ceiling system was developed to accommodate complex geometries while maintaining durability and recyclability. The main ceiling plane features a matte white membrane with focal lighting distribution, while a recessed high-gloss grey section integrates indirect LED cove lighting. This layered system introduces depth, contrast, and controlled reflections that enhance the spatial composition while supporting the wellness-driven lighting strategy that runs throughout the residence.
Lighting plays a central role in supporting circadian rhythms and daily well-being, aligning with the studio’s broader research into wellness-centered interior environments. Adjustable lighting conditions allow the residence to transition naturally throughout the day — from vibrant daylight clarity to calm evening illumination — creating a balanced living environment that responds to the occupant rather than imposing a fixed atmosphere. This attention to environmental quality reflects a more considered approach to luxury condo interior design in Miami, where high-rise living demands more than surface-level refinement.
The attention to detail extends to every corner, including a custom-designed console that serves as both sculptural divider and functional architectural element. Positioned between the living and dining areas, the console reinforces spatial continuity while maintaining visual openness. Constructed using a combination of 3D printing and precision laser-cut fabrication, each horizontal shelf introduces its own curvature — reinforcing the project’s language of organic movement while supporting the curved modular sofa behind it.
The living room wall doubles as a large-scale projection surface, transforming the space into an immersive multimedia environment. The media unit was carefully customized to accommodate a built-in laser projector, with the internal geometry precisely carved to align with the projection path. Throughout the residence, a curated selection of furniture, art deco bronze sculptures, and crystal objects reinforces the project’s aesthetic narrative — blending tropical references with a refined monochromatic palette and a futuristic design language that responds directly to Zaha Hadid’s architectural vision for the building.
From the sculptural bar to the layered lighting systems and custom architectural elements, the SV Apartment demonstrates how luxury condo interior design in Miami can move beyond conventional finishes into genuinely architectural territory — where advanced fabrication, wellness-driven strategies, and spatial authorship produce a residential environment unlike anything else in the building. While SV Apartment responds to the sculptural intensity of Zaha Hadid’s One Thousand Museum, the studio’s work at PS Apartment at Five Park Miami Beach takes a warmer, more tropical approach to luxury condominium living — and SK Residence in Surfside explores a quieter, wellness-driven interpretation of waterfront residential design.

The SV Apartment is also part of Nar Design Studio’s broader exploration of holistic interior environments focused on human well-being, a research direction presented at the Venice Biennale exhibition Holistic Interiors: The Architecture of Wellness and Regeneration.
This research investigates how architecture and interior design can actively influence health, emotional balance, and environmental quality. Drawing on biophilic design principles, the studio explores strategies that reconnect occupants with nature through carefully orchestrated light, materials, air quality, acoustics, and spatial comfort.
Within the SV Apartment, these principles are expressed through organic forms inspired by natural movement, balanced lighting conditions that support circadian rhythms, and the integration of materials that enhance comfort and environmental performance. The project demonstrates how futuristic aesthetics can coexist with wellness-driven design strategies, transforming high-rise living spaces into environments that nurture both body and mind.
