SDH Studio is an award-winning architecture and interior design firm founded in Miami in 2012 by Venezuelan architect Stephanie Halfen, AIA, NCARB. The studio designs custom homes across South Florida, the Caribbean and internationally, with work in the Bahamas, Jamaica, Antigua, Belize, Mexico, Colombia, Panama and Colorado.
Our work is grounded in tropical modernism: modernist ideas reworked for strong light, a hot climate and the rhythms of contemporary life. We design the architecture, interiors and landscape as one. Many of our homes sit on the water: oceanfront in Golden Beach, bayfront on the Venetian Islands and Bay Harbor Islands, along the coast from Palm Beach to Naples and out to the Bahamas. Each plan turns toward the horizon, so terraces, courtyards and pools become rooms in their own right. Clean lines and natural materials carry through from the façade to the furniture.
Every home we design is a one-off. Our architects and interior designers work as a single team to create an immersive experience that redefines luxury living, transforming each client’s dreams into a modern sanctuary inspired by their way of living.
We call this approach The Art of Luxury Living®.
SDH Studio is consistently ranked among Expertise’s Best Architects in Miami and Ocean Home’s Top 50 Coastal Architects in the US. It has been repeatedly named to the Luxe Interiors + Design Gold List, has won multiple Best of Houzz awards for Design, and has won International Property Awards for its work in Florida and Belize. Stephanie serves on the Town of Golden Beach Building Regulatory Advisory Board.
