Five Park Private Residence — Venetian Plaster & Microcement in Miami Beach

This completed private residence at Five Park in Miami Beach unfolds across more than 5,000 square feet: sculpted ceiling planes, concealed light, seamless millwork, layered stone and wood, and walls of glass framing the city, the ocean and the sky. The interior architecture is by Oltrelimiti, shaped with an unmistakably Italian rigor, and the residence was built by Navicon Construction. The kitchen is by Boffi | De Padova.

The Marmorine finished essentially all of the white walls in the home — the hallways, bedrooms and kitchen — in Marmorino KS Venetian plaster, and the bathrooms in microcement.

Marmorino KS is a lime-based Venetian plaster, built up in thin coats of lime and marble and compacted by hand with a steel trowel. In white, it reads as a soft, matte, mineral surface with a faint movement and low sheen that change through the day, quite unlike the flat uniformity of paint.

Here it carries the home's architecture. The long entry corridors read as clean, continuous planes that lead the eye to the glass and the skyline. In the bedrooms it gives calm, luminous walls behind oak shelving and joinery, and in the kitchen it frames the oak cabinetry and stone island. Daylight from the floor-to-ceiling glass and the concealed linear lighting both graze the walls, bringing out the hand-troweled depth.

In the bathrooms, microcement wraps the walls of the vanity and walk-in shower in one continuous, joint-free surface. A thin cementitious coating, troweled in layers and sealed, it gives the calm look of a single material without grout lines, and it suits wet areas like showers.

Kept in a warm, pale tone, the microcement lets the black stone vanity, tinted glass basins and black fittings stand out, and it carries the same quiet, hand-finished character as the Venetian plaster in the rest of the home.

On a project like this, millwork, lighting, stone, mechanical systems and technology all converge within exacting tolerances. Plaster and microcement have to fit that sequence: clean edges at flush doors, reveals and recessed lighting, crisp returns at the glazing and shower glass, and finished surfaces ready before fixtures and furniture go in.

We coordinate with the general contractor and the design team on substrate, sequencing and protection, and hold the same finish standard from the sample board to the final pass across every room.
