Cynthia Spray Design and Architecture

The renovation preserved the apartment’s complete floor plan while replacing tarnished finishes, dated surfaces, and worn materials with a brighter oceanfront
palette, new lighting, refined wallcoverings, and a signature refrigerated marble wine wall.

A repeat-client oceanfront renovation preserving the original
floor plan while transforming a mid-1990s apartment into a
glamorous, sustainable residence centered on marble, crystal,
leather, ocean views, and a signature climate-controlled wine
wall.

ELITE SPORTS PERFORMANCE
Performance Gym · Strength Training · Group Sessions · Sports Recovery

PROJECT OVERVIEW
In 2019, we completed Elite Sports Performance — paired with the
adjacent Elite Rejuvenation wellness spa to create real synergy
between performance and recovery in a single connected facility.
The gym reads as a long, open group-session floor finished in cobalt-blue
performance carpet, with individual Rogue weight-training stations, mirrored
walls, and a deep-purple feature wall behind the digital training clock.
Sports-bar ceiling-hung TVs and oversized rotating fans give the room its
athletic, masculine character.
“Unleash Your Inner Athlete” is set in large distressed blue type across the
back wall — the gym's tagline made architectural. The same industrial pipe
pendants and black-and-white portraits then carry into the adjacent spa
hallway, making the two programs read as one brand.
$1M. 6500 SF. Completed 2019.

A Mediterranean Estate, Reimagined
Sited on an exquisite oceanfront parcel stretching from A1A to the Atlantic — 150 feet of direct ocean frontage by 450 feet deep — the property offered remarkable real estate
but a house that no longer matched its setting. The original 2001 Mediterranean residence was well-built but ill-proportioned, with builder-grade windows and a great deal of applied ornament working against the architecture.

The owners approached the studio in 2019 with a focused brief: extend the masterbedroom terrace toward the ocean to create a true outdoor living program. The scope grew into a full renovation of the residence — a new arcaded loggia and summer kitchen,
an infilled two-story living room, a complete window replacement, and re-coordinated elevations across every face of the building.

The defining design move was the loggia colonnade itself. Existing terraces stepped gently down the site toward the ocean, which made the new structure tall and awkward to resolve. Elegantly tapered columns paired with arches absorbed the height, gave the
elevation true proportion, and framed an outdoor summer kitchen, living room with fireplace, and dining area open to the Atlantic.
