Miami Housing Renovation Project completed

The Joe Moretti housing complex just received a much needed face lift. Spread out on six separate City blocks, the 32 housing buildings underwent extensive renovations, including new roofs, facade restoration, mechanical equipment replacement and painting. ZAG worked closely with the Miami Dade Public Housing Agency on this important restoration project.

ZAG's projects at Port of Miami

ZAG was selected among several Architectural firms pre-qualified by Miami-Dade County to offer Architectural and Engineering services in three of their Administration Buildings.

An Urban Oasis in Brickell

ZAG recently upgraded a 27 year old high rise apartment for a family of 4 in the heart of the Miami Financial District. Living in an apartment has spatial limitations. For this project we were able to satisfy the functional needs of a family that likes to cook and entertain.

The design challenge was to accommodate a large number of appliances and equipment yet provide a clean and uncluttered look and maximize the work areas. Black granite counter-tops and back-splash, combined with zebra wood, white lacquered paneling and bamboo patterned porcelain floor tiles create an elegant yet functional atmosphere.



Green design creates peaceful bathroom.
To create a Zen atmosphere in the guest bathroom, a careful balance of colors, textures & lighting was required. Using earth color materials such as river stones, tile and sand based paint we created a sophisticated and soothing environment.

Thinking of how nature interacts, "Simplicity, clean lines, fluidity and functionality.", were the guiding design principles.

ZAG-designed Store Focuses on Sustainable Material..."

Silver Jeans Gets Hip With Green
ZAG-designed Store Focuses on Sustainable Materials

by Tracy Dillon

Contemporary organic architecture bridges ’60s consciousness with today’s need for a holistic and harmonious environment by incorporating retro imagery and visual merchandising with such natural elements as stone, wood, bamboo, plants, and water, explains designer Victor Zamparelli of Zamparelli Architectural Group (ZAG). Environmentally responsible wood species create a seamless flow from the storefront and entry canopy to wall and fixture elements, including a serpentine “spine” running through the space, for a peaceful, welcoming ambiance.

With a desire for a sustainable environment and little control over building systems in the mall site, the retailer and designer focused on where they could make the most difference without adding substantially to the cost of the project: materials. Working primarily from the LEED Materials and Resources credit category requirements, Zamparelli called for natural, recycled, recyclable, and locally extracted materials as well as low-VOC adhesives and finishes.
