Our most visible Surfside work stands on Collins Avenue: the renovation of The Shul, a sanctuary used by the community every day of the week. The room is shaped by curved walls in a textured finish that recalls Jerusalem stone, with oak millwork and bronze running through every custom piece — engraved bronze doors within a bookmatched marble surround, sculptural glass lighting, and stained glass designed for this room and no other. A building this woven into daily life calls for a careful hand, and the finished sanctuary feels both familiar and entirely new.
Selected work
Recent work from across South Florida: oceanfront apartments, whole-home renovations, custom millwork, and community spaces like the sanctuary we designed in Surfside. It is the same standard our interior designers in Miami bring to every project, run out of our interior design firm in Fort Lauderdale. Every one of them started the same way we would start yours: by understanding how the space is really used before a single finish is chosen.

(01) Whole home
Complete interiors for oceanfront apartments, family homes, and seasonal residences. Furniture plans, finishes, lighting, and art are built up in layers, so the finished rooms read as a home collected over time — not a package delivered on one truck.
(02) Renovation
Renovations taken down to the studs and carried through the final punch list. We rework the plan, draw the millwork, and stay close to your contractor so the design survives contact with the job site. For Surfside condominiums that require association review, the submission and its timeline are planned into the project from the first meeting.
(03) New build
Surfside lots are narrow and the houses on either side are close. Getting real light into the middle of a plan while keeping the neighbors out of your sightlines is solved with window placement and the order of the rooms, not with curtains later, so we work it through with your architect before the shell goes up.
(04) Single space
Kitchens planned around how your household actually cooks, gathers, and starts its mornings. Because it is the hardest-working room in the house, storage, sightlines, and workflow get solved first — then the cabinetry, stone, and appliances follow from those decisions rather than driving them.
(05) Single space
Calm, spa-like bathrooms where the stone, fixtures, and lighting are resolved as one composition instead of three separate purchases. Surfaces are specified for real daily use, simple upkeep, and the salt air that living a block from the Atlantic brings with it.
(06) Made to order
Case goods and built-ins designed for the room they'll live in, not adapted to it after the fact. Drawn and engineered in-house, built by South Florida fabricators we've trusted for years, and specified to the millimeter before anything is cut — so the piece that arrives is the piece that was drawn.
(07) Beyond the home
Select commercial, hospitality, and community work where full-service design earns its keep. The sanctuary at The Shul on Collins Avenue in Surfside was designed this way — custom bronze, stone, and millwork specified in-house and followed through fabrication and installation. A room that serves hundreds of people every week demands the restraint of a private home and far more durability.

FAQ
Our Approach
Surfside is a rare thing on this coastline: a genuine beach town, low-key and walkable, sitting between the towers of Miami Beach and Bal Harbour. As a full-service luxury interior design firm, we design for both sides of its character. In the oceanfront condominiums along Collins Avenue, the Atlantic is effectively the largest material in the room — so we work with that light rather than against it, choosing natural stone, warm neutral palettes, and furnishings selected piece by piece so the interior keeps its composure from sunrise glare to late-afternoon gold.
West of Collins, Surfside changes scale. The streets between the beach and the bay are lined with single-family homes where life moves between indoors and out all day long. There we pay attention to orientation — where the sun lands, where the breeze comes from, how the garden meets the living space — and balance clean coastal forms with a material palette that brings warmth and depth. Considered layouts, custom built-ins, and easy transitions between rooms produce homes that feel curated without ever feeling staged.
What holds it all together is intent. Luxury interior design, as we practice it, has little to do with ornament and everything to do with an environment that is true to the people using it. That standard applies to a private residence, and it applied equally to the sanctuary we designed at The Shul on Collins Avenue, where custom bronze, stone, and millwork were drawn and specified down to the last detail. From the earliest concept conversations through final installation, we stay close to our clients so that every decision — large or invisible — serves the same vision.
Why Sarvian Design Group
We’re not the right interior designers for every project, and we don’t pretend to be. But when a client’s ambitions line up with the way we work, the result is a space that feels considered down to its smallest decision. An oceanfront apartment, a family home renovation, new construction shaped with your architect, or a community landmark like The Shul on Collins Avenue — one team of interior designers carries each of them from layout and finishes through procurement, installation, and the final styling pass.
No two projects arrive the same size, and Surfside proves it: a condominium overlooking the Atlantic, a house on a quiet street between the beach and the bay, a single room on a deadline, or a sanctuary serving hundreds of families. Each one runs through the same process, scaled to fit its scope. A kitchen project doesn’t drag a whole-home engagement behind it, and a smaller room count never buys a thinner version of the studio’s attention. Every engagement begins the same way — with how the space is actually used — and the design works outward from there.
Great interiors are decided in the parts that never make the photo: cabinetry aligned to the sightline it was drawn for, stone selected slab by slab, task lighting located before the ceiling closes, custom pieces detailed to the millimeter and built by fabricators we’ve trusted for years. Our kitchen, bath, and millwork drawings are specified at that depth because a design that only resolves in a rendering isn’t finished work. It’s also why our rooms hold up on an ordinary Tuesday morning, not just on photography day.
Where high-end projects usually fail is in the handoffs between specialists. We keep the whole chain in one studio: space planning, finish palettes, lighting plans, and 3D renderings, then procurement, custom built-ins, art, styling, and installation — so the living room, primary suite, kitchen, and bath resolve as one residence instead of four disconnected rooms. As your interior design firm in Surfside, we coordinate with your architect, contractor, building association, and trades to protect the design intent on site. One team, one point of accountability, from first walkthrough to the day the art goes up.
