Services

• Architecture - from single-family residences to high-rise towers
• Interior design - hospitality, residential and commercial interiors
• Master planning - site and district-scale planning
• Site planning
• Historic preservation and adaptive reuse

Sectors

• Hospitality - hotels and resorts
• Multi-family residential - including affordable housing
• Single-family residential - waterfront and luxury homes
• Mixed-use - combined residential, retail and commercial developments
• Commercial - office and retail
• Institutional
• Historic - restoration and repositioning of protected buildings
• Interiors

The range from affordable housing to oceanfront luxury within one practice is notable. Those two markets operate under very different funding structures and cost constraints, and firms that work credibly in both tend to have unusually disciplined delivery processes.

Hospitality Portfolio

The firm's hotel and resort work includes some of Miami's best-known properties:

• 1 Hotel South Beach
• Four Seasons at The Surf Club
• Moxy Miami South Beach
• AC Hotel Midtown
• The Plymouth South Beach
• Lennox Miami Beach
• Hotel Paso del Norte

Residential and Mixed-Use Portfolio

• Panorama Tower - one of the tallest towers in Miami
• Paramount Bay
• Chateau Beach Residence
• Palazzo del Sol
• Selene Oceanfront Residence
• Bel Aire on the Ocean
• MEI
• Flow Brickell
• Wynwood 25 and The Gateway at Wynwood - part of the Wynwood district's transformation
• Hibiscus Island and single-family waterfront residences including Dilido House, Sunset Residence, Tropical Bay, Gold Residence and Winter Residence

Historic and Cultural Work

The practice has worked on historically significant buildings including the Lincoln Theater in Miami Beach. In a city with as much protected Art Deco and MiMo fabric as Miami, historic work demands fluency in preservation review processes alongside design capability - a combination that limits the field of firms able to take it on.

Commercial and Institutional Projects

Commercial work includes TD Bank and Datran Center, alongside institutional projects and Caribbean developments such as Hodge Bay and Spice Island.

Sustainability

Kobi Karp positions itself as a sustainable design firm. In coastal South Florida this carries specific weight: sea-level rise, storm resilience and hurricane loading are design determinants rather than optional considerations, and flood-resilient design has become a baseline requirement for waterfront development in the region.

Who Kobi Karp Works With

• Hotel developers, operators and hospitality brands
• Residential and mixed-use developers
• Affordable housing providers
• Private clients commissioning single-family homes
• Commercial and institutional owners
• Municipal authorities on planning and historic projects

Market Position

Kobi Karp is among the most recognised architecture and interior design practices in South Florida, with a portfolio spanning many of Miami's landmark hospitality and residential towers, and international work extending into the Caribbean and beyond.
