1 The Sliding Marble Doors: The Ways Lignum Brought Luxury

Project Background: A Visionary Client from Barton G

Our client, Mr. G, known for his connection to the renowned Barton G restaurant in Miami, came to us with a clear vision. Inspired by Barton G’s whimsical sophistication, he wanted a high-tech, high-style living room that echoed the restaurant’s theatrical charm. As a man of taste and discernment, he had strong preferences regarding both materials and execution.

Design Challenges: Integrating Form, Function, and Technology

This wasn’t just another design job. It was an advanced residential project involving high-end finishes, automation, and precision engineering. The centerpiece: automated sliding marble doors that had to function flawlessly while looking sculptural and elegant.

Our solution incorporated:

• Floating wall unit with LED-lit pearl lacquer interior

• Custom-designed automatic marble sliding doors with a silent open/close mechanism

• Seamlessly integrated stainless steel trims

According to a 2023 Smart Home Report by Statista, nearly 41% of U.S. households integrate smart technology in their interior design. Mr. G’s vision capitalized on this trend, elevating his living space into a responsive and immersive environment.

Crafting the Elements: From Concept to Completion

Each component of the project was handcrafted and refined to perfection:

• Floating Wall Unit: Designed for both storage and aesthetic value, it included LED lighting, soft-close hardware, and a pearl lacquer finish. This created a light-reflective surface that made the room feel open and sophisticated.

• Sliding Marble Doors: Engineered with automated open/close technology, these doors were both a design statement and a feat of custom engineering. They were framed with stainless steel accents to enhance their sleek visual appeal.

• Smart Integration: Every element, from lighting to movement, was calibrated for effortless use and maximum impact.

Results: A Space That Defines Modern Luxury

The result? A living room that’s not just functional. It’s unforgettable. The sliding marble doors became a work of art in motion, while the custom wall unit served as a centerpiece of utility and elegance. Together, these elements offered a cohesive design solution that mirrored Mr. G’s style while redefining the living room experience.

Feedback from the client praised our ability to translate complex ideas into tangible beauty. This project illustrates the growing demand for spaces that balance luxury with automation.

Location Highlight: Miami Beach Sophistication

Set in the heart of Miami Beach, the Barton G House project reflects the opulence of its surroundings. Miami Beach is home to some of the world’s most sought-after properties, where art, design, and architecture converge. According to Zillow, luxury homes in the area appreciate faster when they feature bespoke cabinetry and tech-forward interiors, reinforcing how thoughtful design can significantly increase property value.

Miami Beach remains one of the most prestigious destinations for luxury living in the United States. Its blend of Art Deco heritage, oceanfront views, and upscale lifestyle attracts discerning homeowners who value refined aesthetics. Studies show that homes with premium built-ins and luxury millwork can command up to 20% higher resale value, especially in competitive markets like South Florida. This reinforces how projects like the Barton G House set a new standard in interior sophistication.
