Exclusive | A $29.5M Miami duplex comes with interiors by the Beckhams designer and a kitchen crafted by a buzzy celeb chef

Vicky Charles, a high priestess of interior design, has worked with Hollywood power couples — from Victoria and David Beckham to Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher — and created global visions for Soho House as its former design director.But this is the first time Charles has teamed up with a top chef — Mario Carbone, known to New Yorkers for his always-buzzy Carbone restaurant — to cook up a chef’s kitchen and a secondary prep kitchen in a $29.5 million Miami skypad. The 12,000-square-foot duplex comes with six bedrooms, six baths, two powder rooms and a private elevator.It also boasts 1,226 square feet of outdoor space over four terraces.
Inside the chef’s kitchen, the countertops have recessed wells of water to replicate Carbone’s pasta cookers inside the eateries, so residents can drop their favorite pastas into the water wells on a whim, bypassing the need for conventional burners.Of course, the pantries even come stocked with Carbone’s oils and sauces.Home chef lessons and private chefs are, naturally, also available.The smashing skypad is on the 46th floor of Villa Miami — Major Food Group’s first residential project with developers Terra and One Thousand Group, and they have tapped Charles to do interiors for all 72 units in the 56-story, steel-and-glass edifice. The 650-foot-high building, in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood, was designed by ODP Architects.
Construction is slated for completion at the end of 2026.The residences are accessible by car, boat and chopper — thanks to their marina, helipad and carpark. Charles, who has created English homes inside an 18th-century Oxfordshire barn complex for the Beckhams, told Gimme Shelter this is her first Miami condo design. Her goal, she told Gimme, was to “blend grandeur with warmth, bringing a uniquely European sensibility to Miami’s design landscape” that also works as an antidote to the city’s fixation with, well, a certain rather cold combination of certain materials...
