Focusing more on interiors, Fanny Haim, Cecil Hayes and Matthew MacDonald are some of the best designers in the city. Haim’s signature sleek and sophisticated interiors often incorporate such natural materials as stone and linen. Hayes is especially beloved by such clients as music producer Timbaland for her ability to bring their fantasies to life. She is currently finishing his home with a master bedroom that incorporates a waterfall, and a game room that includes a pool table with a series of inlaid diamonds. MacDonald is often labeled as an up-and-comer, but his work for clients like Jennifer Lopez and the Related Group might prove otherwise. His laid-back interiors for private homes and yachts are eclectic, often incorporating Asian antiques with subtle contemporary accents, but always pay homage to Miami’s light and bright atmosphere.

Robert Parsley’s work can be seen at such South Beach hotels as the Delano, the Shore Club and the Sagamore, as well as prestigious homes on the city’s islands. (Gloria Estefan’s home on Star Island was one of his first projects.) His services cover every aspect of outdoor landscaping, from swimming pool and garden design to lighting and maintenance, but always within his signature aesthetic of lush yet controlled environments. Slightly more modern, Raymond Jungles treats landscapes as an artist treats a canvas. His attention to detail and artful inclusion of color, shape and texture has earned 15 awards from the Florida chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
