As Art Basel Approaches ANDstudio Talks About Their Luxury Design District Projects and the Rush to Be Ready for Miami’s Main Event In the lead-up to Art Basel, one of the busiest times of the year in Miami, ANDstudio Architecture + Design consistently delivers high-end retail spaces for top global brands. Working with international clients who expect to open in time for this major event, the firm expertly balances design creativity with the realities of building in Miami—a city known for its unpredictable weather, hurricane threats, and complex permitting processes. ANDstudio has built a reputation for guiding their clients through these challenges, ensuring that each space is not only a reflection of the brand’s vision but also realistic in terms of Miami’s construction landscape. Flexibility and the ability to manage expectations without compromising on design quality set them apart, especially during the rush to have projects ready for Miami’s biggest week. Founded by David Schwade and Dakota Hendon, ANDstudio Architecture + Design has grown into a boutique firm with a diverse portfolio of high-end residential and commercial projects. Their expertise is showcased in the stunning waterfront homes they’ve designed in Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, Coral Gables, and Coconut Grove, as well as upscale retail stores and office spaces in prestigious locations like the Miami Design District, Palm Beach, and Bal Harbour. Their design prowess extends to the culinary world, having crafted the interiors of Michelin-starred restaurants and stylish dining spots across the region. In the Miami Design District, ANDstudio’s work includes high-profile projects like the recent Brunello Cucinelli store, where they played a key role in creating an exquisite retail experience. The firm is currently working on the expansion of Brunello Cucinelli across South Florida, continuing their collaboration with this iconic brand. Other notable retail spaces by ANDstudio include B&B Italia, Kith and Kith Treats, Stone Island, GANNI, Dion Lee, ALC, Reformation, Creed, Zadig & Voltaire, and many others. For many of these high-end retail stores, ANDstudio has partnered with clients’ global design teams, collaborating with renowned designers such as Piero Lissoni for B&B Italia and Stamuli for GANNI. These collaborations blend international vision with local expertise, delivering impressive design outcomes that stand out in Miami’s competitive luxury market. As both Design Architects and Architects of Record, depending on the project, ANDstudio is known for their ability to balance creative vision with practical execution, especially when it comes to meeting the challenges of tight deadlines and complex requirements. One of their busiest times of the year is leading up to Art Basel, Miami’s premier global art fair that takes place in the first week of December. With the city buzzing in preparation for this world-class event, ANDstudio’s designs often take center stage as part of the vibrant high-energy atmosphere.
