The Project
What is NoMad Residences Wynwood?
NoMad Residences Wynwood is a luxury residential project from Related Group in the heart of Miami's Wynwood arts district, with architecture by Arquitectonica. It translates the NoMad hospitality world into a residence — social, design-forward, and unmistakably Miami. In a neighborhood defined by color, pattern and craft, the bathrooms had to feel collected rather than corporate. That meant texture, warmth, and gold.
The Product
Which VIGO shower screens are in the residences?
The residences use the VIGO Essex framed shower collection in matte brushed gold with reeded and fluted glass. Essex is a framed series — a slim gold frame around textured 3/8-inch tempered glass — offered as both a hinged door and fixed shower screens so a bathroom can mix a door with a return panel. The vertical reeding does the heavy lifting: it reads as Deco craftsmanship while quietly delivering privacy and spot-hiding practicality.

The Detail
What is reeded glass — and how is it different from fluted?
Reeded glass is textured glass with vertical, rounded ridges that project outward; fluted glass has vertical grooves carved inward. Both scatter light and blur the view for privacy while keeping the shower bright, and both read as vintage, hand-crafted texture — which is why designers reach for them in Deco-leaning and boutique-hotel interiors. VIGO's Essex offers both, so a project can dial in exactly how much shimmer and privacy it wants.
Why it works in a Miami bathroom
Texture is forgiving. In a humid climate where clear glass shows every water spot, reeded and fluted glass disguise day-to-day use, so the shower keeps looking styled between cleanings. Pair that with a matte brushed gold frame — warm, fingerprint-resistant, and color-matched to the project's brass — and the screen becomes a design feature instead of a barrier.
