At Studio IDC, we are committed to thoughtful, safe, and innovative design, which is rooted in rigorous standards, professional accountability, and continuous education. Therefore, we firmly oppose the proposed Florida legislation (HB 991) that aims to dismantle the Board of Architecture and Interior Design, along with other expert-led regulatory boards across the state.

As Studio IDC Vice President Trisha Brookbank states, “This has the potential to be an absolute disaster. If you care about architecture and design as a regulated profession, and you should for safety reasons, if nothing else, please take action.”

Founder and President Stephanie Tyler adds

We are still excited about the success of the NEWH April Mingle at The River Oyster Bar. The buzzing atmosphere, delicious cuisine, and warm hospitality made it an unforgettable evening. The event was attended by over 50 industry professionals, and we received overwhelmingly positive feedback about the River Oyster Bar and the evening's offerings. As the designers of this iconic Miami venue, we are proud to see our vision for the space come to life for the NEWH April Mingle.

An Ideal Venue for Gatherings

The River Oyster Bar's flexible design was crucial to the success of our event. The space offers the perfect mix of flexibility and intimacy with two separate rooms that can be closed off. Guests could seamlessly move between the private and public areas, socializing and enjoying themselves throughout the evening, with many choosing to have dinner after the Mingle. It's truly a space that is perfect for hosting memorable gatherings.

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming NEWH South Florida Mingle, designed by Studio IDC. The event will take place at The River Oyster Bar, a space we had the pleasure of creating for Chef David Bracha. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors - Blue Leaf, Frameworks, PJContract, and vContract - we are excited to prepare an evening full of culinary delights and design appreciation.

Studio IDC’s journey spans several decades, marked by long-lasting relationships with our clients and suppliers. Our distinctive trait is our heritage, which is grounded in family values and industry expertise. Recently, our Chief Creative Officer Todd Tyler participated in a panel discussion presented by Jerry Pair during South Florida Design Park’s Fall Market. The panel, moderated by Florida Design Editor-in-Chief Luis Rigal, delved into the complexities of managing remote projects and international design. Todd was joined by fellow panelists Phyllis Taylor, co-principal of Taylor & Taylor, and Lauren Czarniecki, founder and principal designer of Czar Interiors. Here are some of the highlights!
