ARCHITECTURE + INTERIOR DESIGN
Your Miami project, with a team that works from Quito.
We design renovations, new homes, and interiors in Miami for families and investors based in Ecuador. Our design team is in Quito, and Javier Cuevas, our principal architect, is in Miami for everything that happens on site.
WHY CA+
Close to you, in both countries.
A team on your schedule
Our design team works from Quito. Meetings are scheduled on your time and held in Spanish.
On the ground
Javier Cuevas lives in Miami and handles site visits, permitting, and construction oversight.
One team, start to finish
Feasibility, design, permitting, and oversight with the same team. Your chosen contractor builds the project, and we oversee it so that what was designed is what gets built.
HOW WE WORK
Every stage can be followed from Ecuador.
-
Before design begins, we review the property or lot, zoning, and budget, so you know what's possible before committing time or money.
-
We present design options by video call, with drawings and renderings, and refine them with you until we reach a single direction.
-
We coordinate engineering, materials, and technical details, and share each update online so you can review it on your own time.
-
We prepare drawings for permitting and contractor pricing, and manage the approval process in Miami.
-
We visit the site regularly, review the contractor's progress, and keep you updated in Spanish.
What to know if you're buying from Ecuador
FAQ
-
Most of the project can be handled remotely. Design meetings take place by video call, and our team in Miami handles everything that requires being on site. If you travel, we'll plan a visit to the property together.
-
It depends on the project's actual scope, not a flat rate per square foot. That's why the first step is feasibility: we evaluate site, zoning, budget, and goals before design begins.
-
Many areas of Miami fall within FEMA flood maps. That can set the minimum height of the home, the materials, and the scope of a renovation. We review it during feasibility, before design begins.
-
Yes. In a condo, a renovation usually needs approval from the building association in addition to the municipal permit. We help you prepare what each one requires.
-
A Florida-licensed contractor, hired by you, builds the project. We oversee construction to protect the design.
-
Spanish or English, whichever you prefer. Permit documents are submitted in English, and we walk you through each one in Spanish.
