ELLE DECOR will unveil its 2015 Modern Life Concept House on December 1 in tandem with the kick-off of Design Miami and Art Basel. The project will be located in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District at 250 Wynwood, a 6,000 square-foot, one-of-a-kind condominium home, and will feature the work of four leading designers hand-selected by ELLE DECOR editor-in-chief, Michael Boodro, who celebrates his fifth year with the magazine this fall. The designers—Matthew MacDonald, Elizabeth Martin, Sam Robin and Fernando Wong—designed and decorated the space in a way that fits in with the artistic and creative spirit of the Wynwood neighborhood.
From luxury kitchens and bathrooms to finely crafted furniture and sophisticated consumer electronics, the ELLE DECOR Modern Life Concept House is the ultimate design-focused gallery showcasing top industry talent and some of the nation’s finest suppliers of finishes, furnishings and decorative items.
A private VIP opening party will offer guests of the anticipated preview a taste of the design talent growing in Miami as well as bites from Miami’s famous Michael’s Genuine. Proceeds from the event will benefit Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami.
