What We Do
Coral Gables Custom Home Design Inspired by Timeless South Florida Architecture
Coral Gables is one of South Florida’s most architecturally significant communities. Known for its tree-lined boulevards, Mediterranean Revival estates, historic landmarks, and carefully planned neighborhoods, the city has long set a standard for timeless residential design. Building a home here is about more than creating beautiful spaces. It’s about designing a residence that complements the architectural character and enduring elegance that define Coral Gables.
At Beacon Home Design, we specialize in Coral Gables custom home design for homeowners seeking architecture that feels refined, personal, and built to last. Every custom home is thoughtfully designed around the property, the homeowner’s lifestyle, and the surrounding streetscape while embracing the principles that have shaped Coral Gables for generations.
Our Coral Gables custom home plans balance timeless architecture with modern living. Open gathering spaces, natural light, indoor-outdoor connections, and carefully considered architectural details create homes that feel sophisticated while remaining warm and inviting. Whether inspired by Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Colonial, transitional architecture, or contemporary luxury design, every residence is tailored specifically to the client and property.
"As first-time builders, we had very little knowledge going into this process, but AJ made it feel easy and completely manageable. He was so responsive, patient, and a real pleasure to work with every step of the way. We’re so excited to see our dream move from paper to reality and are incredibly grateful for such a talented and professional team. We would absolutely recommend Beacon Design."

"We could not be happier with the experience that we had with the team at Beacon . Designing from the start through the finish was seamless. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed during the process. AJ was very thorough, thoughtful and informative during every meeting. Thank you Beacon!!!"
