"To be successful, you need a great passion, the ability to verbally present your ideas, and the desire to spend long hours at work. Hunt for the niche; find something you do better than other people."-Barry A. Berkus, AIA

Credentials & Accolades

The above quote aptly describe the business philosophy that we, at Morales Design Studio, Inc. (MDS), have faithfully employed over the years. MDS has emerged as one of the nation's premier residential design studios. The studio was built around the reputation, expertise and experience of Bobby Morales, CPBD, AIBD, who has had an illustrious 35 years in the residential design industry. He is certified by the The National Council Of Building Designers and the National Charrette Institute, holds a Certificate in Classical Architecture from the prestigious Institute of Classical Architecture & Art and is a Florida licensed Class "A" General Contractor.

The success of MDS is symbolized by the high demand nationally and internationally for its design services. Bobby's work is found in some of the most exclusive and prestigious communities, has been published by the press in several industry and consumer-related magazines and newspapers, and has also been featured on national television. His home designs have been selected by some of the most discriminating clients, including entertainment and sport's celebrities and "captains of industry". He is also very active in design competitions and has been a recipient of numerous design awards. In recent years two of Bobby's home designs have been featured and toured during the annual NAHB International Builders' Show. What makes Bobby most proud and gives him the greatest joy however, is when his clients finally transform the "house" he has designed for them into a nurturing "home" for their families.

Design Approach & Philosophy

We recognized that a great house is the result of simple earth put in the hands of skillful artisans who ultimately sculpt it into three-dimensional art. This art is not to be viewed and appreciated at a distance, but we humans, whose scale is used to properly mass and proportion the home, coexist and live within its spaces. Thus, we do not believe, as many do, that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", but rather that beauty is in the proportions and the understanding of proper scale, rhythm, unity, discord, and harmony. The masterful use by the designer of these principles is what brings about the joy experienced by our clients as they live in the beautiful spaces we labored together to create.
