The Best Custom Home Builders & Design-Build Firms in Miami
Zbigniew “Zeb” Jarosz is the second on this list to construct homes for celebrities, having built homes for the likes of actor Matt Damon and athlete Michael Jordan. Working with a team of 30 employees, Jarosz’s projects have gained a reputation for high-quality design and construction that are finished timely and within budget. That level of quality has earned the firm several awards from both the AIA and the Florida Builders Association. Jarosz and his team have also been featured in Architectural Digest, Florida Architecture, the Miami Herald, Luxe, and Dream Homes South Florida. The principal himself was born in Poland and raised in a family with merchant marine captains, architects, and builders. While his career has taken a trajectory away from the sea, he would later become a US Coast Guard licensed captain. Jarosz received his education at the Krakow University of Technology, and he went on to work throughout Europe before arriving in Miami.
Featured Projects
The Indian Creek Village overlooking Biscayne Bay brings a unique look to the Miami luxury home landscape. While the overall style is in the characteristic Mediterranean, arched entryways and arched windows are more reminiscent of the island community’s Asian namesake. The home was built for an artsy New York couple affiliated with the arts, so the home was designed with sophistication in mind. Natural beige, blue, and green tones were chosen to complement the owners’ art collection. Meanwhile, standing in Miami Bay is a 15,000-square-foot mansion designed and constructed for a couple of baby boomers. The structure is much more in line with Miami’s Mediterranean Revival style, made out of stucco, keystone, and cypress. The color direction of this home is more monochromatic, evoking a more monastic atmosphere. Jarosz played with space, going from intimate spaces to open ones. A vaulted hallway leads to a cypress-paneled library. A low door under the soaring staircase leads to a snug breakfast room.
