Possessing a degree of ability so natural that it comes to them like breathing, 

the pair takes great satisfaction in seeing dramatic transformations come to life; 

and when they were recently tasked with two projects whose original forms were 

decidedly out-of-date by several decades in terms of aesthetics, Saiz and Reeves 

were given the chance to shine as they took the two spaces down to their studs and 

built them back up into breathtaking works of modern, livable art.

Both two-bedroom units, the condos they recently renovated in Miramar Beach 

and Holiday Isle would be considered on the smaller side by some standards, 

each coming in around 1100 square feet. Naturally, working within the footprint 

of the condos was necessary, as was the need to respect the locations of various 

electrical and plumbing lines as well as load-bearing walls. A challenge, to be 

sure, but one the designers readily rose to meet, using their creativity and vision 

to achieve every item on their clients’ wish lists without compromising style or 

functionality in any way. “You have to adapt and be able to change quickly with 

what’s ‘discovered’ when the walls are taken down, but that’s one of the things 

that makes condo projects such an interesting undertaking,” says Reeves. 

“We have an awesome view of the ocean, and Todd’s ability to bring 

the outdoors in allows us to enjoy the inside as much as the outside.”
