A Long Walk through a Lonely Legacy
OT TOO LONG AGO I FOUND MYSELF
staring into the eyes of a beautiful woman as we stood at the doorway to paradise. “You’re going to have to make a commitment,” she said. The woman was Lorraine Barrett, the Realtor charged with finding a buyer for the 90,000-square-foot Windermere mansion that billionaire David Siegel has on the market. I had asked her for a tour as part of my research into our story about Siegel’s wife, Jackie. As I soon discovered, it is a lot easier to write “90,000 square feet” than it is to walk it. But about an hour and a half after I heard Barrett say “commitment,’’ I had a much clearer understanding of the scale and the grandeur of Siegel’s creation, which he patterned after the Chateau de Versailles, Louis XIV’s elegant, 17th-century enclave. He first sketched it out on the back of an envelope while flying to Las Vegas to tend to his time-share business. Because he is a businessman, not an artist or an architect, and because most of the stories about his American Versailles have been about the financial struggles that temporarily waylaid the project, it’s easy to overlook the creation itself. But not after you’ve seen it firsthand. The midday heat was just beginning to build up inside the mansion’s raw but impressive shell as our footsteps echoed across the concrete floor. The sinewy steel girders still visible all around us supported an edifice that would be big enough, if gutted, to shelter a 747. Grand staircases led up to the second floor on either side. From high above, afternoon light filtered down through a $350,000 stained-glass dome that took 2½ years to build. I stood there thinking about a story David Siegel had told me years ago. He was so poor at one point in his life that his utilities were cut off, and he had to hook a hose to a neighbor’s house for 6

water. The neighbor came out with garden clippers and chopped the hose up into little pieces. Now he’s a billionaire. If a man like that builds a spectacular home as a legacy, it becomes a part of the community’s history. Siegel says if the mansion does not sell, he and his family will simply move into it themselves. He and Jackie both have the notion they could open it up for charity events. “The Russians were here to look at the place a while back,” Barrett was telling me as I sat with her later in her car, grateful for the air conditioning and more than a little winded from our 90,000-square-foot marathon through the mansion and around the grounds. Her potential buyers lost interest after hearing it will take some time to finish the mansion. “They wanted instant gratification,” she said. That’s OK. I didn’t want the Russians buying it, anyway.

are plenty of options out there if you’re looking to get your “creepy” on. One low-tech alternative is Ghost Stories, an annual outdoor program at Orlando’s Harry P. Leu Gardens. During the event, slated for Oct. 26, eight storytellers will spin a series of frightening fables, each of which will last about 10 to 15 minutes and all of which will be designed to start your spine tingling and your blood curdling. The garden’s gates open at 6 p.m. with the stories scheduled to begin at 7:30, after the sun sets. Food and drink will be available for purchase, but picnic meals are allowed. The event is not recommended for children under 6. Costumes, props and spooky music are all part of the fun, although the success of the evening will depend mainly upon the strength of the stories and the talent of the performers. One story, adapted from a Ray Bradbury novel, will focus on a single woman and her reaction to a series of small-town murders. Another concerns kids and their encounter with a swamp monster, says Mitchell O’Rear, who founded the event 19 years ago and is himself one of the storytellers. “I love the imagination that a storyteller has,” adds O’Rear, who thinks of storytelling as an art form to be cherished and preserved. “We can be just as entertaining as any blockbuster film or big-production Broadway show, because it’s theater of the mind.” Visit leugardens.org for more information.

student, he loved performing scenes from David Mamet plays, taking on roles in such works as Glengarry Glen Ross, Speed-the-Plow and Oleanna. Although Cobb enjoyed portraying Mamet’s brash, finely drawn characters, he assumed that he would never get the chance to bring them to life outside the classroom. “All of my classmates and colleagues of color came up playing the [Mamet] roles in scene-study classes,” recalls Cobb. The young actors were intrigued by the roles, but knew that they were unlikely to be cast in them as professionals. Not that Cobb blames Mamet. “He wrote what was real to him, and what he knew.” Not long ago, however, Mamet wrote Race, a play that contains a plum role for an African-American actor. “We black leading men were all trying to get this role,” says Cobb, chuckling at his luck in landing it for himself in a production that will be presented Oct. 10 through Nov. 11 at Orlando Shakespeare Theater. “It’s a role that I think was written for a guy like me,” he says. “I can immediately apply my experiences in life to what this man is feeling.” The man in question is Henry Brown, whom Cobb describes as a “scrappy black attorney” with “a competitive spirit.” Henry is a partner in a prominent law firm whose other male partner is white. Also with the firm is a young black female attorney. Together they must confront uncomfortable issues brought to the forefront by a prospective client: a white man who has been accused of raping a black woman. Should Henry and his firm take the case? What’s the downside if they lose? And even if they win, will the firm’s reputation suffer? As an actor, Cobb’s reputation is based largely on his television work, including two years each on the soaps All My ORLANDO HOME & LEISURE

Children and The Young and the Restless, plus three years as Tyr Anasazi on the sci-fi series Andromeda. Along the way he turned up on People magazine’s list of beautiful people. It might surprise some fans of the New York-based actor to learn that theater is his abiding passion. In school and immediately afterward, Cobb focused on stage work, often appearing in plays from the classical repertoire. (Even in casual conversation, you can detect a Shakespearean precision in his diction.) When TV came calling, Cobb saw it as a way of gaining name recognition so that he could return to the stage in substantial roles. “What I was not clear on was that Hollywood would swallow me up for 12 years,” he muses. But since 2009, Cobb has again been focusing on theater, “just sort of beatin’ the streets like every other actor” and taking meaty roles wherever he finds them – including the upcoming Mamet production. “It’s very complex,” says Cobb of Race, which challenges the audience with its every twist and turn. “It is a discussion as to the nature of race, and the law, in our culture.” Visit orlandoshakes.org for more information. – Jay Boyar

Elvis Is Back in the Building - or Is He?
PHOTO: COURTESY BROADWAY ACROSS AMERICA
EVEN NOW, 35 YEARS AFTER HIS
death, you can still come across people who think Elvis Presley is alive. Cody Slaughter sometimes entertains an even stranger notion: Maybe Elvis never really existed at all. “It’s crazy, man,” says the 21-year-old Elvis impersonator from Harrison, Ark. “It’s weird. Like it’s a fairy tale or something. Like Bigfoot stuff. Sometimes I’ll be out there looking out at 3,000 people screaming at me, and it all starts to feel like there never really was an Elvis. Like we all just made him up.” Slaughter, who’s been impersonating Elvis since he was 8, has been feeling a little weirder than usual lately as he plays the part of The King himself in a touring production of The Million Dollar Quartet. 259-144 PM -Winter Park Mag -Beth_final.pdf
The jukebox musical, which runs Oct. 30 through Nov. 4 at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre, is based on a real-life event: On Dec. 4, 1956, four budding rockabilly superstars – Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis – ran into each other by sheer chance at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis, Tenn. The encounter evolved into a ragged but raucous jam session dominated by gospel tunes. The title of the musical is borrowed, word for word, from a headline in a newspaper article that reported on the impromptu gathering. Slaughter is the proverbial dead ringer for Elvis, but so are a lot of other guys. What sets him apart is his uncanny emulation of ol’ swivel hips’ silky baritone. In The Million Dollar Quartet he’ll sing 1

“Blue Suede Shoes,” “Hound Dog,” “Fever” and “That’s Alright, Mama.” Voted Best New Elvis Tribute Artist at the 2011 Las Vegas Elvis Fest, Slaughter is the only member of the cast with no acting experience. “It’s not like a concert. Your head’s gotta be in the right spot when you’re up there acting,” he says. “But as long as you nail the singing, you’re good.” Visit orlandovenues.net for more information. – Michael McLeod

ITS MUCH-ANTICIPATED PERFORMANCE AT THIS SUM-
mer’s Republican National Convention had to be canceled because of Hurricane Isaac, but there’s no stopping Lynyrd Skynyrd, the ultimate survivor band. Originally formed nearly a half-century ago in Jacksonville and all but finished after a 1977 plane crash that killed three of its members – including its lead vocalist and songwriter Ronnie Van Zant – the legendary rockers will return to Central Florida this month with their familiar brand of Deep South sizzle. Fronted by Johnny Van Zant, Ronnie’s younger brother, the band will appear at the UCF Arena on Friday, Oct. 26. Opening the concert is Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown, featuring Texas guitar whiz Tyler Bryant. But it’s Lynyrd Skynyrd, with
60 albums and such classics as “Freebird,” “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Gimme Three Steps” to its credit, that’s the main draw. Named in mocking honor of a Jacksonville high school phys ed teacher (Leonard Skinner) who hated long hair, Lynyrd Skynyrd retains its strong identity and fan base despite a nearly complete change in personnel since its 1970s’ heyday. Guitarist Gary Rossington is the only member of the original group who remains, although lead singer Van Zant helped reform the band in 1987, 10 years after the tragic plane crash. Skynyrd’s appearance at UCF will be one of the last of its current nationwide tour. The band moves on to the United Kingdom in November. Visit ucfarena.com for more inforamation. –Harry Wessel

A Mother’s Photo Safari Into the Teenage Wasteland
photo: courtesy Southeast Museum of Photography at Daytona State College
When her daughter became a
teenager, Rania Matar had the feeling that her little girl was turning into a stranger. “I started realizing that my daughter was not the same person when her friends were around,” Mater says. “It was almost like they were performing for each other – their voices, their expressions, everything.” Matar, an architect-turned-photographer who lives in Boston and teaches at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, decided to try to capture that adolescent ritualism with her camera. Her efforts evolved into A Girl and Her Room, which opens Sept. 14 at the Southeast Museum of Photography at Daytona State College.
All the photographs are of girls in their bedrooms, havens where they’re most comfortable being themselves. Seeing the photographs is like sneaking a peek at their diaries. Some bedrooms reflect the adolescent propensity to live in total chaos.
But some girls were actually neat enough to make a mother pass by a hallway and smile. Some girls were artistic enough to have rooms that could pass for art galleries, with intriguing and sometimes sophisticated paintings and drawings displayed on the walls of rooms strung with handmade lights. “These girls really let me in and showed me something very private to them,” says Matar, who moved from Lebanon to the United States when she was 19. “I decided to give them a voice. It makes me sad when people judge them. They are fragile no matter what image they’re putting on.” Visit smponline.org for more information. – Emily Blackwood

ONCE, AS A GIFTED TEENAGER GROWING UP ON THE
outskirts of Havana in the mid-1970s, Arturo Sandoval got into trouble with the law. His crime: loving the music of American jazz trumpeter John “Dizzy” Gillespie. Sandoval, who had been studying classical trumpet at the Cuban National School of Arts, began emulating Gillespie’s freewheeling, densely layered riffs as soon as he heard them. In the Cuba of that era, it was enough to land him in jail for three months for “consorting with the enemy.” From that viewpoint, Sandoval, who’ll appear at the Plaza Live Theatre Oct. 25 at 8 p.m., has been living a life of crime ever since. A Grammy Award-winning pianist, composer, trumpet and flugelhorn player, he remains strongly influenced by Gillespie, with whom he eventually studied and toured. The title of his most recent album: Dear Diz (Every Day I Think of You.) Which he does. “We are losing this musical tradition – it’s
at risk of disappearing,” Sandoval says. “The greats are mostly gone – Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown. Fewer and fewer media outlets cover jazz. I believe it’s the most important art form created in this country.” Gillespie, one of the first musicians to incorporate Latin influences into American jazz, died in 1993 at the age of 75. Sandoval, who taught music at Florida International University for 19 years, lives in Los Angeles, teaching, touring and composing both classical and jazz music. Sandoval’s style has been called “Afro Cuban,” a term best exemplified by his album Muevos los Huevos (Move Your Bones). But he has also performed and recorded with such mainstream pop artists as Johnny Mathis, Gloria Estefan, Paul Anka, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Celine Dion Visit plazaliveorlando.com for more information. – Michael McLeod

Friday, April 5, 8 PM Sunday, April 7, 2 PM
Joel Revzen, conductor • Fenlon Lamb, director featuring Robert Gierlach as Figaro
Christopher Wilkins, conductor • Robert Swedberg, director featuring Shu-Ying Li as Cio-Cio San
It’s an “Upstairs, Downstairs” world—filled with seduction, lust, infidelity, love and forgiveness—all woven together seamlessly with sublime music. This comedy is considered by many opera lovers to be Mozart’s most perfectly written opera.
Butterfly, a beautiful young geisha, sacrifices her family, her religion, and ultimately her life for an American naval officer, Lieutenant Pinkerton. He takes her as his bride for convenience, with no intention of bringing her home to America. The sweeping emotional power of Puccini’s music is unsurpassed in all of opera.
Presented at Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre • Both operas sung in Italian with English supertitles. Subscriptions and Single Tickets available

F ALL THE FABULOUS MAN-
sions in Isleworth, there is one that provides more privacy from prying eyes than any other. Or so you’d think, from the looks of it. The home – a 26,000-square-foot mansion situated on a 4-acre island all its own – is tucked deep inside the prestigious, gated community in southwest Orange County, which traditionally offers celebrities and millionaires safe haven from the masses. This is where 77-year-old time-share billionaire David Siegel lives with his 46-year-old wife, Jackie, along with their seven children, one adopted niece, one bodyguard and three live-in nannies. A long, private drive leads past the family’s tennis court to a circular entranceway offering plenty of room for his Rolls and her Bentley. Beyond two boat docks and four guest cottages out back, there’s only the placid expanse of Lake Isleworth, rippling in the breezes on a sunny Saturday afternoon. This is where Michael Jackson sought refuge when he was in town for a Disney World visit 10 years ago, the paparazzi hard on his heels in the wake of the baby-over-the-balcony episode, staying in one of the cottages as the couple’s guest. Back then, the Siegel complex was the perfect hiding place. These days, not so much. Not since the release of The Queen of Versailles, a documentary about the couple’s beleaguered effort to build an even larger home nearby – a palatial retreat of nearly 90,000 square feet, loosely modeled after the 17th century royal chateau in the Ile-de-France region of France. (The DVD of the documentary, which was being shown locally at the Enzian Theater, goes on sale Nov. 13). David’s empire of 28 time-share resorts in 11 states was thriving when the couple agreed to let filmmaker/photographer Lauren Greenfield and her crew WWW.OHLMAG.COM

inside the lavishly appointed island home. The Siegels assumed the documentary would record the transition to their new Lake Butler domain, which would be, when finished, the largest dwelling under a single roof in the country – with 10 kitchens, 13 bedrooms 22 bathrooms, two elevators, two movie theaters, three swimming pools, an 80-foot waterfall, a 16-car garage and a cadre of French maids to greet guests at the 20-foot-tall front door with glasses of champagne. “I actually didn’t think the documentary would be that big of a deal,” says David. “I wasn’t sure I’d ever even watch the thing myself. I thought maybe we’d get a little free publicity out of it.” “David likes free,” adds Jackie. But when the market crash of 2008 took place, the cameras inside the Siegels’ island enclave kept on rolling, and the story they recorded was indeed a big deal. The documentary became a parable of American excess gone awry, filled with what the New York Times called “jaw-dropping scenes of consumption and comeuppance” as the money crunch imperiled Siegel’s business, forcing him to tighten the family budget and put his gargantuan, half-finished dream home up for sale. David, who has a reputation for litigiousness, thinks the documentary should have included his successful effort to turn around his time-share business by downsizing it and

shifting its marketing approach, and has sued the filmmaker for defamation. Jackie, on the other hand, has only one complaint about the documentary: “I didn’t like the lighting in some of the scenes. It makes me look older.” And however much her husband may have been dismayed by the film, the queen of its title – his statuesque, pneumatically endowed former model and beauty queen of a wife – is in the process of using it as a springboard, hoping for a career as a reality TV star. She’s perfect for the part: brash, a little loopy, unabashedly materialistic, but not nearly as shallow as she sometimes appears. Bimbos don’t earn engineering degrees, as she once did. Knowing she’s likely to be dismissed as a dumb blonde in a gilded cage, she often plays the part, sometimes to amuse herself, sometimes to gain an advantage. There’s a scene in The Queen of Versailles when she travels commercially to see a friend. (In more prosperous times, the Siegels traveled aboard a private jet.) She heads for the rentalcar desk and, in the midst of filling out the paperwork, she assumes a deadpan expression and asks the clerk: “What’s the name of my driver?” With David’s blessing, she recently traveled to Hollywood 26

to meet with producers and agents about a Keeping Up with the Kardashians type show, with her as its star and her curmudgeonly husband in a supporting role. “Sort of in the background, like Bruce Jenner,” she says. In between meetings, she found enough time to rack up roughly $100,000 worth of high-fashion purchases. When you’re buying Chanel and Versace, it adds up fast. She even managed to get one of her credit cards temporarily canceled: “I guess they couldn’t understand how I could buy something in Orlando, Beverly Hills and London all in one day. I warned David he was going to see the bills come in. I have to do it. Well, I like to do it, but I have to do it. Whenever I go on a show to be interviewed, they always ask about my clothes.’’ There’s a scene for your reality show, right there: Jackie tiptoes into the den her husband uses as his office. (He still works eighthour days, and comes home with boxes of paperwork yet to be perused.) She gives him a coy smile and tells him about her latest purchases. He explodes. She retreats to her two-story, walkin closet complete with a fireplace, an illuminated trophy case stocked with her collection of thousand-dollar designer heels, and a fixture that Jackie describes as either a stripper pole or a support column, depending on the sensibilities of her guests. Jackie grew up in a middle class family in Binghampton, N.Y., and earned her engineering degree from the Rochester Institute of Technology. She moved to New York City and began juggling jobs – cocktail waitress, computer analyst, aerobics instructor, model. “I was so busy. I hadn’t had a date in two years,” she says. “So I thought: Where’s the best concentration of eligible men? I decided to take a day off and go to Manhattan. By the time I got up the subway steps I had two dates – one for lunch, one for dinner.” The dinner date was with Ron Solomon, an investment banker who became her first husband. Soon after her marriage to him broke up, she was in Orlando as part of a Mrs. Florida beauty pageant. That was when she met David Siegel. The couple has been married for 12 years. Over that time she’s made more than a few close friends in town, and she and David are often spotted at charity events. But Jackie still thinks of herself as an outsider. An Orlando friend, Eve Marcel, has a theory about that. “She doesn’t have a filter. She’s a New Yorker like me. She says what she wants to say, and she doesn’t care what anyone thinks. A lot of people down here have a problem with that.” Adds Jackie, of her estrangement from the local high-dollar set: “I don’t spend my time doing the rich wives thing, having lunch and playing tennis. So they don’t know me, and they make up stories about me.” She’s a gold digger, they say. “The truth is, David was down when I met him. He was 28

dealing with an expensive divorce,” she counters. Then there’s this one: For every child she bore, her husband gave her a million dollars. Not true, claims the queen. He did, however, promise to provide her with a nanny for each child. “I love children. I just don’t like taking care of them,” she says. “At least not that many. Two I might be able to handle. Not seven.” So: Over the years, how many diapers has Jackie Siegel changed? “Maybe a couple,” she says. The Siegels’ children range in age from their twin girls, who are 5½, to their eldest daughter, 19. Whether any of them will have a chance to grow up in the supersized mansion their parents had in mind for them remains to be seen. David’s time-share empire has rebounded to the point where he’s ready to re-start construction on Versailles. He estimates it will take three or four years to complete. Meantime, it’s still up for sale – $75 million as is, $100 million when finished. “If I sell it, we stay here. If I get it done and nobody buys it, we’re moving in,” he says. Jackie says she’ll be happy either way. On the one hand, she’s grown attached to her island enclave: “I have a lot of memories here.” But when you remind her that there’s a 4,000-squarefoot closet at Versailles, she wavers. “Well,” she says, “I could sure use the room.” l OCTOBER 2012

Why did you become an attorney? I became an attorney to help people. I view the practice of law as essentially a helping profession. We are the keys to the courthouse for many, many people. Lawyers are the last bastion of freedom in a democratic society. I’m proud to be a part of that system. What do you like best about the practice of law? I love

helping people. As a personal injury attorney, I can help those who are injured to receive the medical care they deserve and justice for their case. I especially enjoy working on a co-counsel basis with other lawyers who need expert help with their clients’ personal injury cases.

I currently spend most weekends doing construction and home repair work with the Fuller Center for Housing of Central Florida.

The experience of a former circuit judge. The creativity that comes from over 50 years of practice. The commitment to help our clients grow.
FAMILY LAW AND DIVORCE • BUSINESS LAW AND LITIGATION FORECLOSURE DEFENSE AND LOAN MODIFICATION Dominick Salfi founded Salfi & Sprysenski on a foundation of firsts. He was appointed the first State Attorney of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, dedicating himself to bringing justice to the residents of Seminole and Brevard counties. Dominick was later appointed as a Circuit Judge of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, reportedly the youngest Circuit Judge to hold office at that time. During his tenure as a judge, Dominick also served as a temporary Associate Justice of the Florida Supreme Court. After 16 years on the bench, Dominick sought to help individuals and businesses in private practice. Dominick has assisted thousands of clients by providing both creative and practical representation in family law and business litigation matters. His accomplishments have continued to mount, including being the only American attorney allowed to defend a United States citizen on Cuban soil.
Christopher Sprysenski is a Central Florida native, growing up in Lake Mary. He became an attorney after a successful 10-year career as a business consultant at global, Fortune 500 companies. Seeking to serve individuals and businesses on a more personal level, Christopher pursued his dream of becoming an attorney, working full time during law school to finance his education. A leader in Central Florida’s legal community, Christopher was the President of the Seminole County Young Lawyers Division for 2011 His drive and resilience manifests itself in his vigorous representation of Salfi & Sprysenski clients in both family law and business litigation matters.
From offices in Altamonte Springs, Salfi & Sprysenski provides legal counsel and representation for clients in the Orlando metro area and communities throughout Central Florida. Call us to arrange a consultation.

Why did you become an attorney? I like the competition. I was a competitive swimmer at the University of Florida for my four years there. I’m extremely comfortable in the courtroom. I really like it; it’s fun. What do you like best about the practice of law? I like winning and I’m good at it. Being in the courtroom fighting for my clients brings me a lot of pleasure. Not many people hire a trial attorney to “do their best;” they hire them to win. That’s what we do and we do it well. Most of my trials are long and complex and can take months of being in court. Personal: Born in Marion, Ohio, October 7, 1948; came to Florida to swim for the University of Florida varsity swim team; married for 39 years; has two grown daughters; participates in U.S. Master Swimming for adults; has show horses that he keeps in Ocala. Miscellaneous: Firm founded in 2004; main office is in Miami; Central Florida office opened in 2006.

people less skittish about investing in their homes, builders and remodelers are cautiously optimistic that better days are at hand. That somewhat less gloomy mood was reflected in Orlando Home & Leisure’s 2012 Home of the Year Awards, which attracted an assortment of intriguing entries. Perhaps it’s a sign of the times that many of the competing homes emphasized technology and efficiency over opulence. But that doesn’t mean luxury has become passé. Dazzling design and upscale finishes never go out of style. It’s just that the new normal also emphasizes smart floorplans, sustainable building materials and well-appointed outdoor spaces.

in a variety of sub-categories. When exceptionally high scores justified naming second- and third-place winners, we have done so. This year we did not allow show homes to compete in the Home of the Year category. Consequently, The New American Home, built by Phil Kean Designs for the 2012 International Builders Show, was not a contender for the top honor. The project did, however, earn other accolades from our judges. The reason for that change? Show homes are built primarily for display, not for individual clients. Therefore, show homes benefit from state-of-the-art building materials and technologes donated by manufacturers, eliminating many real-world budgetary constraints. That said, on the following pages are the winners in each category. Enjoy the tour. OCTOBER 2012

HOME OF THE YEAR
Via Palermo Entered by Phil Kean Designs Team members: Architect, Architecture by Phil Kean; builder, Phil Kean Designs; interior design, Rob Turner, Phil Kean Designs Interiors; kitchen cabinets, Cabinetry Creations; landscaping, Redmon Design Company; pool, Orlando Pools by Design; green building consultant, Two Trails; home technology, ZIO: Home Automation & Integrated Technology Solutions; photography, Uneek Luxury Tours
When a husband and wife prefer different architectural styles, the resulting home might be a weird hybrid that makes no one particularly happy. But that wasn’t the case with Via Palermo, a striking modern home boasting clean, geometric lines, spacious rooms and LEED Platinum certification – meaning it’s as green as green can be. “The husband wanted something modern and the wife wanted something traditional,” says Kean, who also snared Home of the Year honors in 2011. “The compromise was a modern home with warm, welcoming interiors.” At a modest 3,280 square feet, with three bedrooms and four bathrooms, Via Palermo is the smallest Home of the Year yet. The clients, who are empty nesters, didn’t want any space they weren’t going to use. But there’s plenty of sizzle packed in this sleek package. Downstairs is a living area, master suite, piano nook and office as well as a custom wall sculpture incorporating art-display niches, a fireplace and a television. The staircase is hidden between the kitchen and the dining room. Upstairs are two guest bedrooms and a loft used as an exercise area. The most impressive part of the home, however, may be the indoor/outdoor area. There’s a fireplace anchoring the lanai seating area and a water feature right outside the bedroom window. The entire lanai can be protected by retractable screens that hold 90 percent of the conditioned air while keeping insects and glare at bay. The Italian moniker, Via Palermo, is the Winter Park street on which the home is located. The style, however, is All-American, with more than a hint of Zen-like calm. Via Palermo also won two Aurora Awards at the recent Southeastern Building Conference for best custom home and best green home in its price range. FROM THE JUDGES Loved the outdoor space and the integration of the indoors and the outdoors … it’s great to see a fresh, modern design … the details are well executed … very livable … the owners’ desire to have a LEED Platinum-certified home is commendable … not every award-winning custom home has to be 10,000 square feet.

HOME OF THE YEAR RUNNER-UP
Lake Club Residence Entered by Cornerstone Custom Construction Team members: Builder, Cornerstone Custom Construction; landscape design, Futch Landscaping; kitchen cabinets, S&W Kitchen; photography, Harvey Smith
This 7,200-square-foot Spanish-Mediterranean beauty encompasses five bedrooms, five bathrooms, formal living spaces, a media room and a poker room. It exudes Old World charm, with a grand tower at the entry and dramatic barrel ceilings in the kitchen. There’s a 24-foot-high travertine fireplace in the formal living area, while rich millwork and custom wrought iron throughout add to the home’s timeless ambience. FROM THE JUDGES Really liked the aesthetics … the landscaping and the home really came together … it’s clear they were going for a period style and they executed it well … beautiful interiors.
KITCHEN OF THE YEAR (TIE)
Tuscan Sun (below) Entered by Central Kitchen & Bath Team: Builder, Charles Clayton Construction; kitchen designer, Central Kitchen & Bath; photography, Michael Lowry
A dramatic fusion of classic and contemporary design elements gives this spectacular kitchen real panache. Sleek European-style cabinetry featuring rich persimmon-stained cherry wood is complemented by narrow, horizontal-mounted aluminum handles. The spacious island has a raised bar with seating for four, loads of storage space and a large sink with a commercial-style faucet. Lapidus Tiger granite adds texture and movement to the design and also provides the kitchen with one of its most impressive features: a full-height backsplash to the left and right of the range, which slides open to reveal wooden shelves stocked with cooking spices. FROM THE JUDGES Really liked the marble panel in the back with hidden storage … very creative … beautiful tones on the cabinetry.
KITCHEN OF THE YEAR (TIE)
Lake Club Residence (above) Entered by Cornerstone Custom Construction Team members: Builder, Cornerstone Custom Construction; kitchen cabinets, S&W Kitchen; photography Harvey Smith
This Tuscan-style kitchen features numerous archways, dramatic barrel ceilings made of travertine and beams, a copper range hood, rich stained wood doors, a granite-topped island and a butler’s pantry. It flows seamlessly into the large family room, making it ideal for gatherings of friends and family. FROM THE JUDGES A standout kitchen … nicely executed Tuscan style … excellent use of space … beautiful details. 48

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE OF THE YEAR
The New American Home Entered by Phil Kean Designs Team members: Architect, Architecture by Phil Kean; builder, Phil Kean Designs; interior design, Rob Turner, Phil Kean Designs Interiors; kitchen cabinets, Cabinetry Creations; landscaping, Redmon Design Company; pool, Orlando Pools by Design; green building consultant, Two Trails; home technology, ZIO: Home Automation & Integrated Technology Solutions; photography, Uneek Luxury Tours
The retro-style New American Home was unable to compete for Home of the Year, but its outdoor living space wowed the judges enough to earn top honors in this category. In fact, the home is designed in such a way that it’s a challenge to separate the outdoors from the indoors – which is just how Kean wanted it. “No matter what style of house that I’m working on, I like to integrate the outside and the inside,” he says. “I like the idea of blurring between the outside and inside, and I think it warms up a contemporary space when you can bring in your surroundings.” In The New American Home, moveable glass panels and retractable screens as well as continuous wood flooring certainly do make the transition seamless. In keeping with the eco-friendly features of the LEED Platinum-certified project, the exterior landscaping uses artificial turf for lawn areas – reducing the need for water, maintenance and pesticides – and features only native Florida plants. A state-of-the-art summer kitchen on the patio makes entertaining a snap, and the pool is spectacular. FROM THE JUDGES This was just wild … it scored high on everything … breathtaking … fire elements and water elements all contribute to this exceptional space. WWW.OHLMAG.COM

College Park Backyard Makeover Entered by Farina & Sons and Lucia Custom Home Designers Team members: Builder, Farina & Sons; building designer, Lucia Custom Home Designers; landscape designer, Frank Joseph Brooks; photography, Everette & Soulé
This backyard transformation included the addition of a covered porch extension and a covered outdoor living room with a summer kitchen, a spa, a water feature and a raised lap pool surrounded by all new landscaping. The project also recently won two Aurora Awards, including a Grand Aurora Award for Landscape Design/Pool Design. FROM THE JUDGES So inviting and cozy … amazing that this could be done on a 50-foot lot … love the water feature.

College Park Modern Entered by Lucia Custom Home Designers Team members: Builder, Charles Clayton Construction; building designer, Jim Lucia and Karen Kassik, Lucia Custom Home Designers; photography, Everette & Soule
The living room shares space with the dining room and kitchen, which are adjacent to a show-stopping, flared staircase. A loft overlooks the double-height room, which also features a sophisticated fireplace topped by a large flat-screen television. FROM THE JUDGES A really strong choice of colors … a very clean look … the staircase is really a scenestealer … appropriate modern fixtures and furnishings … details count; note matching material used on the fireplace mantle and the stair railings.

This room, too, abuts Via Palermo’s outdoor living area and swimming pool. The space opens to the outdoors via moveable glass panels and is protected from the heat by retractable screens. High ceilings add drama, and the whimsical art niches are a particularly creative touch. FROM THE JUDGES For Orlando’s climate, the high ceilings and airy disposition are right on … beautiful wood floors … foldaway doors bring the outdoors in … love the sleek, white fireplace.

Instead of a living room, why not a gallery room? “As more and more people downsize, they want more beautiful things around them,” notes Kean. That’s the logic behind this unusual space, a highlight of The New American Home. The focal point is a 16-foot stone veneer wall showcasing a selection of museum-quality artwork by Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. The room, which boasts terrific acoustics, also contains a grand piano that’s wired so it can be heard throughout the home. Conversation areas are defined by furniture settings and carpet placements. The eastern wall consists of floor-to-ceiling glass doors, which open onto the courtyard. FROM THE JUDGES This fantastic gallery space has so much going for it … what a great place for entertaining … something really unique.

REMODEL OF THE YEAR
Net-Zero Home Entered by Lucia Custom Home Designers Team members: Building designer, Jim Lucia, Lucia Custom Home Designers; interior designer, Kay Green; landscape designer, Rare Earth; kitchen cabinets, Central Kitchen & Bath; photography, Michael Lowry
This remodeled home, one of only a handful of net-zero homes in Central Florida, earned Platinum Certification from the Florida Green Building Council and won a Grand Aurora Award as Best Water-Wise Home. Terra Verde has all the features you’d expect to find in a typical certified green home, such as countertops made of recycled materials – beer bottles, in this case – as well as dual pane, low-e windows, low-flow faucets and sprayed foam insulation. Power-generating photovoltaic cells are integrated into the standing seam metal roof. What helps take Terra Verde off the proverbial grid is a geothermal heating and cooling system. Water is heated naturally in a series of underground pipes and then transferred to a heat exchanger, which concentrates the energy and releases it inside the home as heat. In summer and in warmer climates, the process is reversed to fill the home with geothermal-cooled air. FROM THE JUDGES It doesn’t get any better than this in terms of energy efficiency … the kitchen was really nice; I’m surprised they didn’t enter that category … love the color of the stained wood timber.
BATHROOM OF THE YEAR
Luxury Master Bathroom Entered by Jonathan McGrath Construction Team members: Builder and designer, Jonathan McGrath, Jonathan McGrath Construction; fixtures, Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery; tile installation, Equifer Inc.; tile supplier, ProSource of Orlando; photography, Michael Lowry
This master bathroom features a large, spa-like shower with a body wash system, Clear Vue glass, a whirlpool tub and travertine tile. The homeowner had recently installed a new vanity, sinks, tops and mirror and wanted to keep them. So the design incorporated these items, while the bathtub area was configured to accommodate the owner’s 6-foot-4-inch frame. The original master bathroom was converted to his-and-hers walk-in closets. FROM THE JUDGES This is the essence of what good remodelers do, incorporating existing elements of a room and tailoring a project to a client’s specific needs. 52

HOME IMPROVEMENT
Q&A
Here are some commonly asked question and answers from the experts. What kind of qualifications should a remodeler have? Do all those fancysounding certifications really mean anything? Yes, they do. In recent years, the remodeling industry has worked hard to differentiate professional, credentialed contractors from the ubiquitous guys in trucks that local TV stations so love to confront. Both the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) offer certification programs. NAHB programs include Certified Graduate Remodeler (CGR), Certified

Team Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) and Certified Green Professional (CGP).NARI programs include certification for five distinct groups of remodeling professionals. For example, a specialist in kitchen and bathroom rehabs may earn a Certified Kitchen and Bath Remodeler (CKBR) designation to add to his or her resumé. At the very least, a remodeler should be licensed by the state as a contractor. And membership in one or more trade associations is usually a good sign that the remodeler cares about professionalism and continuing education. Locally, the Home Builders Association of Metro Orlando (HBA) has an active Remodelers and Design Council. How much should I spend on remodeling my home? Will I ever recoup my investment when I sell? The days of buying a home, remodeling it and flipping it a few months later for a fat profit are gone, probably for good. If you choose to remodel, do so because you want to make your home a safer, stronger and more comfortable place to live. “If you’re planning to stay in your home five years or more, and you want to build your dream kitchen or a spa-style master bathroom, then you should do it,” says Marion McGrath of Jonathan McGrath Construction in Longwood. “Maybe you’re doing it 75 percent for investment value and 25 percent for pure enjoyment. Long after you’ve forgotten about scrimping and saving a few dollars, you’ll be enjoying having your home the way you really want it.” Of course, when remodeling you shouldn’t over-improve for the neighborhood you’re in. A good remodeler or a knowledgeable Realtor can help you assess what’s reasonable for where you live. Still, if you’re the sort who must quantify everything, Remodeling Magazine publishes a Cost vs. Value Report that estimates the cost of various improvements and the likely return at resale. Among relatively major projects, a basement remodel is the best investment, returning 92 percent of the cost, followed by a minor kitchen remodel (89 percent) and an attic remodel (88 percent).

ing a wood deck return more than 80 percent of the cost. The contract with my remodeler is 25 pages long. I need a lawyer to review it. What really needs to be included? A detailed contract is for everybody’s protection. But you should be certain that you understand it and that it includes, among other things, these elements: a timetable for the project, a price and payment schedule, detailed specifications for all products and materials, insurance information, permit information, procedures for handling change orders, provisions for conflict resolution and notice of your rights under the Fair Trade Commission’s “Cooling Off Rule” (your right to cancel the contract within three days if it was signed someplace other than the remodeler’s place of business). Details on issues such as access to your home, care of the premises, phone and bathroom use, and cleanup and trash removal should also be dealt with.

Kasten says. “We get the majority of our herbs from upstairs, and our lettuces. If we want to try to see if something new will grow up there, they’ll test it.” With neighbors’ opinions registered and suppliers in place, the Gaylord graduates opened their spacious, elegant dining room in April. Yet, despite the upscale feel, the owners invite diners to dress casually. “We did not want to come across as super upscale,” Kasten adds. The kitchen is exhibition-style, jutting into the dining room. The alFresco team also provides catering for an event space on the building’s second floor. As a martini bar prepares to open around the corner and several other nearby eateries bustle regularly, Kasten hopes more Central Floridians will travel to Plant Street for lunch and dinner. “This is a great hub,” she says, “and we have the feeling it will be an up-andcoming area.” ●

Fast-forward one year and alFresco opened in the back of the building, reachable from Plant Street through a breezeway. The foursome took a nonscientific but effective approach to researching what the community’s residents might want in a restaurant: They hung out at Axum Coffee, a laid-back coffee shop located in the same building, and chatted up the regulars, Kasten recalls.
To stock the fridge, the entrepreneurs needed to develop relationships with local farmers. They accomplished that by first meeting with Tanja Gerhartz, Winter Garden’s economic development director. Gerhartz provided them with a list of growers who sell their wares at the city’s weekly farmers’ market along with contact information. “We started meeting with them [farmers] one by one,” Kasten says. “Everything started falling into place.” While most of alFresco’s fruits and vegetables come from these growers, supplementary items are delivered by more traditional suppliers, as well as a woman who calls herself a “forager”: Emily Rankin, of Local Roots, a distributor that specializes in local produce. alFresco’s handiest source is one no other restaurant can claim: easy access to a rooftop aquaponic garden. Aquaponics is a sustainable, symbiotic food-production system that combines aquaculture (raising aquatic animals in tanks) and hydroponics (cultivating plants in water). Four flights above the café, an outfit called Green Sky Growers raises herbs, vegetables, tilapia and bass, using the nutrients in produce and fish waste to nurture one another. So, for the alFresco team, chives, basil, parsley and fish are only an elevator ride away. “We’re upstairs at least once a day,”

WELCOME We’re excited to share Park Avenue with you. Welcome to the 6th Annual Harriett’s Park Avenue Fashion Week! I’m so excited to share Downtown Winter Park, where every day is exceptional, with each of you. The culmination of Fashion Week, the Runway Show, is Saturday, Oct. 20, when models representing more than 20 top boutiques will walk the runway and local restaurants will offer their finest food and drink. All this happens inside a glamorous tent designed by the creators of Fashion Weeks in New York, Miami and Paris. We hope you’ll join us for as many events as possible throughout the week. Our boutiques are truly the heart of Fashion Week, and they’ve put together an impressive schedule with something for everyone interested in fashion. Designers are being flown in, the latest collections are being showcased and parties are being thrown. And best of all, you’re invited! Thanks to Winter Park Memorial Hospital, Ford Escape, the City of Winter Park and all of our sponsors for their continued support. I’d also like to thank you, our ticket holders, for attending Fashion Week and shopping in our local boutiques. Without you, none of this would be possible. I especially want to thank our No. 1 fashionista, Harriett Lake, who keeps the bar held high with her style and grace. We’ll save you a seat at the Runway Show … but hurry! Tickets are limited and you won’t want to miss this sellout event. Details on tickets, seating and all of our events can be found at parkavenuefashionweek.com. See you at the Runway!

I am very proud to be affiliated with Harriett’s Park Avenue Fashion Week, a seven-day celebration of the local fashion retail and design communities. The Winter Park Chamber of Commerce and the Park Avenue Area Association have done a tremendous job, as have all the participating shops and boutiques. And I’m especially proud that this incredible event benefits the Women’s Health Pavilion at Winter Park Memorial Hospital. So, please join me at Harriett’s Park Avenue Fashion Week. I look forward to seeing you!
