Two unique residences—one creative vision. Italian design meets Miami’s spirit in a dual project that blends memory, context, and contemporary aesthetics.
Zuccon International Project, the globally acclaimed design studio known for redefining yacht design, has entered the world of luxury residential architecture with two new villas on Miami’s exclusive Hibiscus Island. Created in partnership with local developer Imago Development, these two residences—Villa 375 South and Villa 400 North—demonstrate Zuccon’s signature approach: global design sensibility with a deeply Italian soul.
“This project wasn’t about meeting a brief—it was about listening to the context,” explains Bernardo Zuccon, who leads the studio alongside his sister Martina. “Working with Imago began as a dialogue between different cultures and evolved into a shared vision. These homes aren’t just buildings—they are stories, emotional experiences shaped by light, memory, and the landscape.”
Despite standing side by side on neighbouring lots, the two villas reflect entirely different design narratives:
Villa 375 South – Lightness and Silence
Villa 375 South is a study in softness and serenity. With neutral materials, subtle tones, and architecture that invites light in, the villa dissolves into its natural surroundings. Here, silence becomes a design element, creating a tranquil, immersive experience. The interiors are furnished in partnership with Baxter, an iconic brand of Italian design, whose refined aesthetic and artisanal expertise complement the project’s understated elegance.
Villa 400 North – Structure and Memory
In contrast, Villa 400 North draws on the architectural heritage of Miami, inspired by the organic design principles of Alfred Browning Parker. With raw concrete, mahogany, and strong material contrasts, this home feels rooted, intense, and expressive. It tells a story—both of place and of identity—using architectural language to connect past and present.
“For us, working with Zuccon wasn’t just a creative collaboration—it was a meeting of visions,” says Federico Trotta, founder of Imago Development. “These two villas reflect a shared commitment to craftsmanship, emotional design, and the blending of cultures. We’ve created places that don’t just house people—they inspire them.”
Zuccon International Project collaborated with two U.S.-based architecture firms: Atelier 305 for Villa 375 South and Choeff Levy Fischman for Villa 400 North. The result is a seamless fusion of expertise and culture, where Zuccon’s role was to give form, identity, and atmosphere to each space—envisioning not just the architecture, but the lives that will unfold within.
These are not just homes.
They are places of meaning.
Stories in structure.
Proof that great design is a universal language—one that connects cultures, sparks emotion, and leaves a lasting mark.
With this project, Zuccon International Project reaffirms its global vision and reinforces the role of Italian creativity on the international stage.
