Group 4 Design is thrilled to announce the 'Best in Multi-family Residential' award that our Interior Design team won at this year's IIDA North Florida Illuminate Awards Gala. 

Altaire at Millenia is a garden-style apartment community with over 300 unique units, located in the heart of a bustling Florida city center and major destination shopping district. The client challenged the team to create a “show stopper” space whose luxury design would grab the attention of touring residents and set it apart from neighboring communities. With the aesthetic defined as “refined lakeside lodge,” the design team set out to create a warm and inviting space that would function as a both an extension of one’s own living space as well as a retreat for its community residents.
​​
Upon entering, residents are ushered into the clubhouse through a grand two-story foyer that provides views to the resort-style pool deck. For productivity, a coffee lounge and co-work space were created on the first floor as a place for residents to grab a quick morning coffee or work “from home” in one of the private co-work studios. A custom 10’-0” long wood live edge waterfall bar table was commissioned as the focal point of this space. Upstairs was reserved for entertainment and includes a private theater with room darkening shades, display kitchen, bar/lounge and game room. The bar and game room capitalize on the lake views with its high ceilings, exposed steel trusses and expansive windows. The finishes and detailing throughout the entire two-story clubhouse convey a sense of luxe sophistication and style while staying on a relatable, human-scale that feels like home. Together, these amenities tell the story of the special and unique experience residents will have when they decide to call this community “home.”

Solaire Apartments, located in Sarasota, Florida is a 233 unit luxurious apartment development which offers its residents 4 story buildings and carriage homes with both detached and tuck-under garages.

This variety of prospective tenants required a multi-faceted approach to creating an inclusive but unique identity for the property. The clients desire to be at-once sophisticated and laid-back is carried out in the use of blended materials in the finish, fixture and furniture packages. Deep walnut and light driftwood tones are reflected in the flooring and millwork choices, including custom shutter divider screens and the canopy over the expansive pool-facing bar.

- Silver Aurora Award Honor for Best Commercial Project- under 20,000 sq ft

​An 8,000 sq. ft. renovation of a once dilapidated building found in the middle of a vibrant, historical shopping center. With the guidance and approval of the Historic Preservation Committee we were able to create a modern take on this historical storefront. Comprising of 2 adjacent retail shops, we created a light, energizing and refreshing coffee shop attached to a brand new art gallery. The goal for this coffee shop design was to match the atmosphere with a gathering spot for the community.
It was important to create interior spaces that were relaxed and inviting. Setting the tone for the design, high ceilings and large expanses of storefront were incorporated into the main dining room and bar, allowing natural light to filter in and energize the patrons. Playing off this abundance of light, the design team selected a fresh and airy scheme with carefully placed bright accents that tie in with the brand’s colors. The clean, minimalist design highlighted with punches of refreshing color appeals to locals walking through the Shoppes at Avondale encouraging them to stop in to catch up on neighborhood happenings, which reinforces the client’s goal to have the community gather together.

​RAP honors designs that exemplify historic preservation in an outstanding manner within the Riverside community.

Southern Grounds Avondale opened at the Shoppes of Avondale towards the end of 2020, becoming an incredibly positive addition to the area. Just a short couple of months later, they were awarded with the New Construction Commercial Award from the Riverside Avondale Preservation. All nominees must reflect RAP's Core Principals, which are the following:

• Preserving and promoting the historic fabric.
• Supporting vibrant, independent, local businesses.
• Supporting quality of life improvements.
• Honoring our community.
• Promoting respectful, mutually-beneficial relationships.

Here's what the judges had to say about the award-winning project;

"This is the first major project in the Shoppes of Avondale since Mellow Mushroom and the jury found it a very positive addition to the streetscape. The scale of the large building is broken down into two unique storefronts of differing heights. This helps transition from the taller buildings at the center of the block to the lower facades further out. The contemporary language of the design is fresh but works well with its historic neighbors.
The jury particularly liked the color chosen for the taller section, it is quiet and simple, and delightfully focuses attention on the historic art deco façade to the right.
The large outdoor seating area adds to the public space while respecting the line of the street façade.
The owner and his team included innovative ways to support retail in the final design. The team produced a project which is sensitive to the context and a resource for the entire neighborhood."
