Life House Little Havana Opens
The first tangible embodiment of the Life House ethos comes in the shape of Life House, Little Havana. Newly opened and housed in a historic 1920s mansion in Miami's Cuban heart, the 33-room hotel is a visual encomium to its locale. From the dusty peach tones of the Mission Style façade—selected to complement the hues of neighboring houses—to the gallery space dedicated to Cuban artist Leandro Feal, every element has been mindfully crafted to pay homage to the area's cultural roots. The collaborative vision of the interiors are defined by guava pink, rich jade, and earthen sienna juxtaposed with natural woods and simple cream lines. Monochrome-checked flooring typical of a Havana mansion and ceilings inspired by the overdyed magenta-hued wood of local market boards are complemented by Art Deco details salvaged from the original structure.
