“Melissa Van Zee is able to create sunny, vibrant interiors that feel effortless and livable, and exude an enviable California cool. There’s a genuine sense of enjoyment that emanates from each of the studio’s projects.” – Architectural Digest
Villa Sofia, a private residence on San Marino Island in Miami Beach, was selected for inclusion in Modern Heritage Homes, an internationally distributed volume celebrating luxury residences defined by craftsmanship, character, and enduring design. The featured project reflects Melissa Van Zee’s belief that great design begins with storytelling—capturing a deeply personal narrative of home, heritage, comfort, and belonging through meaningful objects, collected art, and spaces thoughtfully designed around the lives of those who inhabit them.
