Socri Reim exports French-style luxury to Miami

News

The Socri Limited group, through its subsidiary Koqio, is starting work on its first French-style ultra-luxury home<br data-mce-bogus="1">

Socri Limited, headed by Nicolas Chambon, is a European-based property company that has been developing exceptional projects in Europe for almost 20 years, including redesigning Monaco’s “Fontvieille” urban shopping centre for the future.

The company, a “creator of exceptional places”, has offices in Luxembourg, Paris, Monaco and Montpellier. 5 years ago, its subsidiary Koqio began operations in Miami, taking the time necessary to understand the luxury residential market in Miami and how it could bring its ultra-luxury culture and expertise to bear on that market, like it did for its projects in Paris and the South of France.

Koqio purchased the land at 220 W Dilido Drive, in the Venetian Islands in Miami Beach, on 30 August 2018. The company has been working on various projects in Miami ever since. It took extreme care and upheld the highest standards of quality in designing its first project, optimising every square metre.

Nicolas Chambon, Chairman of the Socri Limited group, says: “Our main aim was to ensure that we had the best possible design for this project, because there were so many options. We wanted every detail to be carefully thought through”.

Nicolas Chambon adds: ”We attached great importance to the complete design of this project with ENEA Design (European landscape architects with offices in Miami). All our projects have always emphasised nature, and it was only natural for Koqio to live up to its claim to offer “luxury by nature”.

The construction of this incredible luxury home of almost 500 m² officially began today at 220 West Dilido Drive, Miami Beach.

For this unique project, Koqio collaborated with world-renowned architecture and design firms such as Strang Design, Dunagan & Diverio, ENEA Landscape and the French architecture firm Aura.

The house is designed to reflect the style of French luxury with a unique selection of natural materials, furniture, artwork and details inspired by French designers and creators such as Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Chanel and Hermès.

Maison Rive Gauche is set in a plot of over 1,000 m² with a magnificent sunny roof terrace boasting a 68 m² garden. The house also enjoys breathtaking views over Biscayne Bay, with a spacious dock that has room for 2 boats.

This property, located between Downtown and South Beach, perfectly embodies the lavish Miami lifestyle combined with the French art of living, with a range of facilities including a billiards room, multimedia room and 72 m² infinity pool.

French architect Julien Passerieux explains: “In Europe, we have a permanent space constraint and we work hard to make the most of it because we can’t just build bigger. Our goal is for this unique masterpiece to offer more quality of life per square metre than any other residential project in Miami, including amenities you won’t always find in a home of this size, such as a double height, billiards room, multimedia room, 5 bedrooms, a staff bedroom, magnificent rooftop terrace, huge pool, etc… Achieving this goal was a challenge for me, STRANG DESIGN and the whole team but we are now very proud of our design”.

Koqio also worked with Miami-based French designer Charlotte Dunagan and her partner, Thomas Diverio, to refine the ultra-luxury Euro-American design and adapt it perfectly to the Miami lifestyle and international culture.

This magnificent property will be completed in September 2024.

Koqio selected Whitecap as its general contractor: this Miami-based company is renowned for the very high quality of its constructions and shares Koqio’s commitment to excellence.

Nicolas Chambon, Chairman of Koqio, says: “This very special project is our first in the United States. Our aim has always been to make Maison Rive Gauche the most stunning house of its kind. We have no doubt that the build quality will match the great care taken in its design. I’m sure we’ve chosen the right partners for the job. I would like to thank them for their collaboration in the development of this project and wish our construction team every success.”
