This Florida House Uses Light and Layout Instead of Statement Design
Casario Design Studio brings a clear, global point of view to Florida’s luxury interiors. Led by Raisa Imar Ortiz, the studio works at the intersection of minimal architecture, tropical context, and European influence.
The projects focus on balance: calm layouts, strong material choices, and spaces that feel lived-in rather than staged.
The living area stays open to the exterior. Seating sits low, materials stay soft, sightlines remain clear toward the garden and pool. Wood, woven pieces, and rugs add structure without filling the room. Daylight enters through large openings filtered by sheer curtains. Art and plants set scale without competing with the architecture.
The kitchen uses the same approach. White and wood cabinetry keeps contrast low and surfaces continuous. The island supports prep, seating, and daily use without visual weight, finished with a white countertop and a white tap that blends into the surface. Open shelving and natural textures soften the layout, while white ceiling lighting maintains an even, quiet backdrop that links the kitchen to the living space.
Living and kitchen function as one zone defined by light, material, and proportion. Casario Design Studio relies on clear layouts, durable finishes, and restrained palettes to support daily use within a tropical setting.
The bedroom prioritizes structure and calm. A wood canopy bed sets the room’s frame without adding mass. Upholstered textiles, pale wall finishes, and filtered daylight keep contrast low. Views to the garden remain open through full-height glazing and sheer curtains. Furniture stays minimal, scaled for circulation and daily use.
The bathroom follows the same material logic. Wood cabinetry, pale stone surfaces, and integrated storage keep the layout clear. A long vanity supports shared use, while the freestanding tub and walk-in shower sit under natural light from above. Fixtures remain simple, surfaces continuous, and detailing restrained to maintain focus on proportion and light.
The pool sits at the center of the outdoor layout. Circulation runs along its edges, connecting seating, dining, and shaded zones. Light stone surfaces limit glare and heat. Built-in planters define boundaries without closing views. Covered areas offer shade, while open sections keep sun exposure balanced.
