The Delmore, the ultra-luxury Miami condominium designed by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), unveils its interiors by HBA Residential, marking the first detailed look at the studio’s vision for the project.
Located in Miami’s Billionaires’ Triangle, The Delmore comprises 37 full- and half-floor residences with over 55,000 square feet of amenities, offering an intimate, design-led approach to ultra-luxury oceanfront living.
A global leader in integrated design from architecture, landscape, lighting, art consultancy, product design, procurement, and brand strategy, HBA has been selected for their unique ability to translate the precision and artistry of luxury hospitality interiors into private, highly individualised homes. The Delmore was approached through a lens of quiet luxury, contextual materiality, and a hospitality mindset tailored to bespoke residential living: the result is a design language that feels both sculptural and serene – crafted in dialogue with architectural form by ZHA.
HBA’s dedicated residential studio conceived the interiors as a seamless, experience-driven journey. “The Delmore embodies HBA Residential’s vision of contemporary luxury - timeless, effortless, and deeply liveable,” said Katie Earl, Creative Director at HBA Residential. “It represents a key chapter in our growing U.S. portfolio and commitment to ultra-luxury residential design.”
The natural environment of Surfside served as a guiding influence from the earliest stages of design. During initial site visits, the HBA team collected shells directly from the Surfside shoreline, bringing them back to their London studio to inspire custom shell stone finishes used throughout key amenity spaces. “The travertine’s wavy grain was selected to evoke shifting dunes and ocean movement,” said Louisa Lee, Project Director at HBA Residential. “The shell stone carries subtle references to the beach itself. We wanted the materials to feel tactile and transportive, like discovering treasures along the shoreline.”
The interiors were developed in close conversation with ZHA to create a unified architectural expression. The tower’s GFRC façade, whose moulds were inspired by sand collected by ZHA from the Surfside beach, informed HBA’s emphasis on curvature, natural light, and a restrained palette that highlights form over ornamentation. “The architecture has a gentle fluidity,” noted Katie Earl, Creative Director at HBA Residential. “We designed the interiors as a continuation of that movement - harmonising materials, lines, and spaces so the experience feels cohesive from the moment you arrive.”
Private arrival galleries for each residence, a 20,000-square-foot beachside meditation garden, and thoughtfully appointed outdoor lounges further define a lifestyle rooted in discretion, serenity, and world-class design.
