This luminous kitchen renovation by Star Group Construction is a bold example of transitional elegance—marrying crisp geometry with warm, layered finishes in a residence located in the heart of Miami, Florida. Blending high-contrast elements, subtle textures, and elevated craftsmanship, this kitchen exemplifies the firm’s approach to tailored living.

Design Philosophy: Luxe Functionality Meets Visual Harmony

Star Group Construction envisioned this space as a chef-grade environment wrapped in luxury—with every element seamlessly balancing purpose and beauty. The design embraces symmetry and repetition, using verticality and texture to build rhythm while still feeling inviting.

Island & Surfaces: A Sculptural Statement

The kitchen island is the project’s anchor. Wrapped in a waterfall porcelain slab with dramatic caramel veining, it serves both aesthetic and functional needs—offering seating, prep space, and built-in cooktop integration. Subtle gold-toned barstools and a black coffee mug become the only interruptions to the otherwise sculptural visual.

Materials & Features:

• Full-wrap waterfall island in polished porcelain

• Bold brown and amber marble veining

• Flush black glass cooktop

• Integrated cabinetry and seating nook

Cabinetry: Minimalism Reimagined

Cabinetry is executed in matte-finish taupe, with sleek brass hardware and concealed hinges. The design avoids ornamentation, letting light, color, and line do the work. Upper cabinets rise to full ceiling height, and integrated LED uplighting in wood-inset niches adds warmth and architectural dimension.

Highlights:

• Matte taupe full-height cabinets with brushed gold pulls

• Built-in double oven for functional sophistication

• Walnut-lined upper soffits with LED light insets

• Floating corner shelves for curated displays

Lighting: Sculptural Glass Meets Soft Gold

Above the island, three hand-blown teardrop pendants float like suspended water droplets—casting soft refraction across the space. Their organic glass texture offsets the rigidity of the marble and cabinetry lines, while the gold ceiling mounts echo the hardware finishes below.

Lighting Plan:

• Three sculptural pendant lights in soft-clear glass

• Recessed ceiling LEDs for ambient control

• Under-cabinet illumination for shadowless prep

Crafted for Comfort, Built to Impress

Whether hosting a dinner party or preparing a quiet Sunday brunch, this kitchen is more than a room—it’s a lifestyle environment. Through masterful detailing and premium material selection, Star Group Construction has once again proven their ability to blend form, function, and soul.
