Studio KHORA, the visionary architectural practice renowned for reimagining contemporary coastal living, has won the title of Best Luxury Residential Architect Studio in Florida, USA, 2024 by Luxury Lifestyle Awards. This recognition highlights the firm’s global reputation for sculptural, thought-driven architecture that transcends trends and elevates the experience of residential living.

Founded by Alex Penna and Rex Nichols, Studio KHORA has long been recognized for its philosophical approach to design, drawing from deconstructivist theory and cultural narratives to create residences that are as intellectually compelling as they are visually stunning. With projects across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Palm Beach and Lond Island—and collaborations extending to Dubai and the Bahamas—the studio is known for pioneering architectural innovation rooted in sustainability and artistic integrity.

Among Studio KHORA’s most celebrated works is the G House, a 20,000-square-foot residence in Palmetto Bay, Florida. Designed for an American Cuban family, the project reimagines courtyard living through an architectural language where architecture follows art, rather than merely form. Expansive glass walls and sculpted terraces frame uninterrupted views of Biscayne Bay and preserved mangroves, while outdoor lounges blur the threshold between house and landscape. Elevated for resilience and crafted with sustainable materials, the G House embodies KHORA’s hallmark philosophy: cultural resonance expressed through artistic vision, structural daring, and environmental responsibility.

Alexander Chetchikov, CEO of Luxury Lifestyle Awards and President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce, congratulated the firm on their achievement: “Studio KHORA represents the very best of contemporary residential architecture. Their ability to merge cultural narratives, sustainability, and sculptural design into residences that inspire and endure is truly world-class. We are proud to recognize them as the Best Luxury Residential Architect Studio in Florida in 2024, a title they richly deserve.”

Principal Alex Penna reflected on the award:
“This recognition affirms our belief that architecture should not just shelter but inspire. At Studio KHORA, we see each project as an opportunity to create meaning, spaces that are both intellectually provocative and profoundly livable.”

President Rex Nichols added:
“We are honored to receive this award and grateful to our clients who entrust us with translating their vision into architecture that endures. It inspires us to continue pushing the boundaries of luxury residential design.”
