LUXE Gold List Event 2026 – Miami, FL

One of the industry’s most anticipated events, the LUXE Gold List, took place on February 25 in Miami, Florida, bringing together an influential community of design leaders from across the country. This premier gathering celebrates excellence in residential design and provides a dynamic forum for connection, collaboration, and inspiration. Erik attended the event representing PHX ARCHITECTURE, marking yet another year the firm is honored to be included on the LUXE Gold List for 2026. We have been on the gold list for a total of 15 years, which is an incredible achievement for our firm, and of course we give a huge thank you to Jill Cohen and the entire LUXE community. From visionary builders and interior designers to forward‑thinking architects, the evening highlighted the talent shaping the future of luxury design. Set against Miami’s vibrant backdrop, the celebration offered an energizing opportunity to engage with peers, exchange ideas, and recognize the projects and professionals redefining industry standards. Many familiar faces were in attendance that evening, including Anthony Salcito of Salcito Custom Homes, Rebecca Salcito of Salcito Design Group, and Stephanie Larsen of Stephanie Larsen Interior Design.
