FLA Getaway

Revitalization of a 1980s suburban home with an open kitchen and living area, enhanced by bold design elements.

This Florida getaway project demonstrates the reach of Tonos Design Studio’s New York City-based design practice beyond Manhattan. Our clients—a New York City family seeking a sun-drenched escape—enlisted us to breathe new life into a 1980s suburban Florida home, opening up the floor plan and infusing it with the same sophistication and intention we bring to every NYC interior design project. The transformation proves that great design principles translate across any geography.

The renovation opened up the kitchen and living areas into a fluid, light-filled space anchored by bold design elements—dramatic cabinetry, striking light fixtures, and carefully chosen materials that balance the relaxed Florida lifestyle with the elevated aesthetic our New York City clients expect. The result is a vacation home that feels genuinely designed, not merely decorated, with every detail serving both form and function.

Tonos Design Studio is a New York City architecture and interior design firm whose work extends from Manhattan apartments to vacation homes for NYC-based clients. Whether designing a primary residence in the city or a weekend retreat beyond it, we bring the same commitment to quality, craft, and timeless New York City interior design sensibility to every project we take on.
