What Touzet Studio does

Touzet Studio is a Miami-based architecture and design atelier operating across architecture, interior design, and urban design, with concentrated practice in luxury residential, premium retail flagship, hospitality renovation, mixed-use development, and adaptive reuse of historic structures. Founded in 1989 by Cuban American architects Jacqueline Gonzalez Touzet and Carlos Prio-Touzet and headquartered in Little Havana, the firm employs 11-50 people and operates as a privately held partnership with no external investors or parent entity. The studio's core technical proposition is climate-responsive tropical design — passive cooling, water management, and resilient construction suited to South Florida's environmental conditions — combined with deep expertise in Miami's architectural heritage, including Art Deco and Streamline Modern preservation.

The firm delivers full-service architectural engagements from concept through construction administration and BIM coordination, supplemented by material research and prototyping (exemplified by the Terracotta Water Wall prototype unveiled at ACAW 2024). Its client base spans ultra-high-net-worth private individuals (including NBA-affiliated projects), real estate developers, hospitality operators, and global retail brands such as Nike, Apple, and Gap on Lincoln Road. Geographic reach is centered on Miami-Dade — Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne — with selected international commissions in the Bahamas (Pink Sands, Cat Cay) and Colombia (Mar de Indias, Cartagena).

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees that are quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Projects are acquired primarily through professional reputation, press coverage, and referrals within the luxury real estate market rather than through traditional sales-led channels. The firm has accumulated a sustained award record from AIA Florida, AIA Miami, the City of Miami Beach, the Miami Design Preservation League, and FIABCI USA, reinforcing its positioning as a boutique design leader in the South Florida luxury and preservation market.
