What Ginard Studio does

Ginard Studio is a Miami-based architecture and interior design firm founded in 2021 by registered architect Alex Ginard and licensed Florida real estate broker Yaliesy Ginard. The firm provides full-service architectural solutions across feasibility analysis, pre-entitlement massing, design, construction documentation, permitting, and construction administration, with a stated emphasis on clarifying zoning, approvals, and risk before design assumptions are locked in. Its underlying technology is a BIM-driven design and coordination process used to produce clash-checked documentation and reduce on-site errors, supplemented by active construction administration including site visits, RFI responses, and shop drawing review. The firm is not a software product company and discloses no APIs, integrations, AI capabilities, or proprietary platforms.

The studio serves two primary customer segments: real estate developers and high-net-worth private residential clients in the South Florida market, with selective projects in Mexico City. Notable engagements include the 184,000 sf Smart Brickell Luxe mixed-use tower with developer Habitat Group (LEED Gold-targeted, UDRB-approved), the Barefoot Pelican 64-unit condominium renovation in Naples, and a portfolio of luxury single-family residences such as Wave House, Villa Serena, T House, Jardines del Pedregal House, and TK Mansion. The firm operates from two offices — a Palmetto Bay headquarters and a Coconut Grove/Miami office — and is registered as GINARD STUDIO LLC in Florida.

Ginard Studio generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, typically structured as a percentage of construction cost or fixed-fee per project phase, billed across project milestones from schematic design through construction administration. Pricing is quote-driven and not publicly disclosed. The firm reaches clients through direct outreach, a content-marketing-driven project journal, its portfolio website, client testimonials, and Instagram, with no third-party distribution channels. It has not raised external funding, has no parent company, and is privately held by its two founders.
