At The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, luxury and nature come together in perfect harmony, creating a serene retreat amidst the vibrant energy of the island. This extraordinary development is the result of a global collaboration of world-class talent, from the architectural brilliance of Kohn Pedersen Fox to the exquisitely crafted interiors by Tristan Auer and Laura Gonzalez. Central to this vision is the innovative work of Thailand-based landscape architects Shma, who have transformed the property into a lush, sustainable sanctuary that redefines the connection between nature and modern living. 

A Vision of Nature, Crafted by Shma 

The lush tropical landscapes of The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami are a masterpiece by Shma, a Thailand-based creative platform specializing in sustainable landscape architecture. Known for their multidisciplinary approach, Shma brings together landscape architects, horticulturists, designers, and researchers to transform spaces into sustainable ecosystems. 

Shma’s Founding Director, Prapan Napawongdee, describes the project as an opportunity to go beyond traditional design, embracing Miami’s native ecosystem through biophilic principles. “Nature is precious,” Napawongdee explains. “Instead of imposing a style, we began with research—understanding geological patterns, water flows, and climate conditions to uncover the rich biodiversity of Florida.” 

By incorporating over 100 species of plants, Shma has crafted a verdant retreat that feels like a private tropical island. Design Director Pat Wongkittipat emphasizes the team’s vision: “We wanted to create an abundant island within Brickell Key that offers residents a journey of discovery and a profound connection to nature.”
