A recent project landed me at a beautiful private home in South Miami to photograph furniture. This was one of those projects that definitely doesn't come around often enough.

We did a quick scout of the property a few days beforehand and I was instantly excited about the project. A lush, tropical mix of huge breezeways with artifacts collected from around the world. Huge coral tiles, shades of soft green, blue and yellow mixed in with punches of red and bright whites. There was an instant sense of well-being here. Outdoor, tropical living at its best. This private residence is everything that South Florida homes should be, but too often are not.

No need for art direction prop-shopping. Anyone interested in tasteful design would be at home here.

The furniture is made by Lloyd Loom, based in the UK. The project was photographed for Beckham & Issa Fine Furnishings, based in Miami. Beckham & Issa are the exclusive representatives of Lloyd Loom Furniture here in the U.S., Caribbean, Latin and South America. I could try to explain it better, but here's a direct link to read about it.
