Steaks, Mar tin is, Caviar, and Swagger are on the menu at Caviar Club

LMGFL.COM/LUXE | LUXE 2026 39

ort Lauderdale has spent the past several years transforming from a beach town with restaurants into a full-ﬂedged dining destination. With Caviar Club, Marc Falsetto has created a new standard for the city built around luxury and the idea that going out to dinner should once again feel like an occasion. The new Las Olas restaurant from Falsetto Hospitality is an unabashedly extravagant American steakhouse, taking its cues from the excess, glamour, and swagger of the 1980s. But rather than simply looking backward, Falsetto is using that era as inspiration for a decidedly modern approach to hospitality where everything from the arrival and dress code to the steak, caviar, and martini programs has been thought through. Despite its name, Caviar Club is not a caviar bar. Nor is it a place where diners need to know someone to get through the door — although word on the street is that its tables are the hottest reservations in town. Instead, Caviar Club pairs serious steak and caviar programs with martinis, dramatic interiors, and the kind of old-school hospitality that begins before guests even reach their table. “We want it to feel polished and sophisticated,” Falsetto says. The restaurant is divided into two distinct spaces: an 80-seat dining room and the Bar Room, which opens daily at 4 p.m. The latter will operate as a destination of its own, with cocktails built around a menu of 10 house martinis developed with Sean Strauss. Their names lean into Caviar Club’s Wall Street-era personality, with names like Filthy Rich, Liquid Assets, Trophy Wife, Hostile Takeover, and Greed is Good.

LUXE 2026 | LMGFL.COM/LUXE

In the dining room, steak reigns supreme. Falsetto says Caviar Club’s beef program is designed around two categories. The restaurant will serve top-tier U.S. Prime beef, the highest USDA grade, alongside an extensive Wagyu selection spanning Australian, American, and Japanese producers. Among the standouts is a 20-ounce, citrus-fed A9 full-blood Australian Wagyu strip loin, a large-format steak Falsetto says Caviar Club is the first restaurant to bring to Florida. The cattle are fed oranges and other citrus as part of their diet, producing beef that Falsetto says retains a pronounced beef flavor despite its extraordinary marbling. “When they score Wagyu on the marbling scale, it’s a BMS of 10+,” Falsetto says. “This tastes like beef. It’s unique — a new product that nobody in South Florida has.” The restaurant will also offer Snake River Farms' Gold Plus program, another highly marbled premium beef selection that Falsetto says has not previously been available in the South Florida market. Along with Japanese Wagyu, the program is intended to give Caviar Club a range of steaks that extends well beyond the traditional steakhouse lineup. The same philosophy extends to caviar. Caviar Club is working with Only Caviar on its selection and staff training, building a program that ranges from approachable tastings to unapologetic splurges. Falsetto describes the goal as creating a particularly deep selection, including varieties and producers that have little or no presence in South Florida, such as an exceptionally rare albino caviar,

priced at $3,000 for a tin. At the upper end is the "Whale" experience, a tableside presentation featuring 250 grams - a full half-pound - of Beluga X in custom packaging. A Champagne and caviar pairing of Siberian sturgeon and Dom Pérignon “White Luminous” – whimsically named “Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams” -- is also available. Other steakhouse classics round out the menu, including a Dover sole served tableside, an Australian Wagyu prime rib, and lobster frites. That sense of exclusivity carries throughout Caviar Club. Nearly everything in the restaurant was created specifically for the space, from furniture and fabrics to uniforms and decorative details. The entire staff wears bespoke uniforms and tuxedos made from bolts of vintage 1980s fabric. Murano glass light fixtures are imported from Italy, and a giant gold Cartier band snakes across the Bar Room entryway. Even the toilets are hand-painted with leopard patterns. Falsetto says the investment approaches $10 million, reflecting an effort to create an immersive environment rather than simply layering a few nostalgic touches onto a conventional steakhouse. The result is dark, moody, and seductive, channeling a decade of opulence and excess without becoming a theme restaurant. The food follows the same philosophy: recognizable American steakhouse dishes presented with luxury and abundance.

Like any fine establishment, entry comes with a few rules. Caviar Club is open to the public, but reservations are available exclusively through its website rather than a thirdparty app. They are released each morning at 9 a.m. for dates up to 30 days ahead. A separate membership program offers privileges, including access to prime reservations and experiences. The Bar Room is 21 and older, and every guest must have a seat — there is no standing-room drinking. Limited bar seats may be available to early walk-ins. Children five and older can dine in the dining room, but anyone under 21 must depart by 8:30 p.m. There are no high chairs or strollers allowed. The dress code is equally deliberate: no shorts, athletic wear, or hats, and no sandals for men. Members aren't exempt from the rules. That structure is part of Falsetto’s larger idea for Caviar Club. The red rope, hosted arrival, dress code, martinis, tableside caviar, and lavish dining room are designed to create anticipation around a night out — something he believes has been lost as restaurants have become increasingly casual. Caviar Club may borrow its attitude from the 1980s, but Falsetto isn't trying to recreate the past. Instead, he is looking at the future of restaurants as experiences to be savored rather than a place to eat.

Sweetwaters serves modern coastal seafood and more along Fort Lauderdale’s New River ort Lauderdale has no shortage of wa t e r f r o n t restaurants, but Sweetwaters offers something unique: a restaurant set directly inside Huizenga Park, with the New River on one side and downtown Fort Lauderdale on the other. The 292-seat restaurant features an indoor dining room and two patios, one facing the park and another overlooking the river -- so you can choose the perfect view to suit your mood. Sweetwaters general manager Ashley Ermus describes the concept as modern coastal seafood paired with warm, relaxed hospitality. “As soon as you walk in, you feel that elevated service, but it’s very relaxed, very approachable, very inviting,” Ermus says. “Whether you just got off a boat, or you’re walking over from somewhere else, you are welcome.” While Sweetwaters is new to Fort Lauderdale, the company behind it has deep roots in waterfront dining. Specialty Restaurants has been around for more than six decades and remains owned and operated by its founding family. Its South Florida portfolio includes Miami’s iconic Rusty Pelican, which celebrates its 55th anniversary this year. Sweetwaters is Specialty Restaurants’ second South Florida restaurant, bringing that experience north to Fort Lauderdale. Executive chef Nicco V. Salanitro and culinary director Matthieu Godard lead a menu centered on seafood and locally sourced ingredients. The raw bar is a focal point, offering the freshest oysters, clams, in-season stone crabs, and more. Highlights

include lobster spaghetti, spicy rigatoni, and a Wagyu tomahawk from the menu’s “Showstopper” section, with options for single or shared portion sizes. Beverage director Oscar Amaya oversees the cocktail program that profers intriguing drinks such as the “Tiffany,” made with tequila, coconut, and limoncello, and the “One in a Million,” Sweetwaters’ take on a watermelon margarita. Sweetwaters has been four years in the making. Ermus says a restaurant was part of the vision for Huizenga Park from the beginning, with Specialty Restaurants ultimately selected for the project. Its arrival also comes amid a wave of restaurant development in Fort Lauderdale. Ermus says the timing wasn't planned — work on Sweetwaters began years ago — but the company recognized the potential of the riverfront location early on. “We definitely saw the potential being right on the river,” she says. With its location between the park and New River, Sweetwaters is positioned to serve several sides of downtown Fort Lauderdale, from residents stopping in for happy hour to visitors coming for dinner and celebrations for years to come. “We’re here for the long run,” Ermus says.

n a restaurant world obsessed with what’s new, Runway 84 has built its legacy by understanding that the classics never go out of style. The Fort Lauderdale restaurant has been serving oversized portions of Italian- American favorites, ice-cold martinis, and old-school hospitality since 1982. More than four decades later, Runway 84 remains one of the city's busiest restaurants, serving hundreds of guests a night — including some whose families have been coming for three generations. For partner Marc Falsetto, that longevity comes down to something deceptively simple: consistency. “Runway is the OG,” Falsetto says. “It’s a true classic of ItalianAmerican food.” Over the decades, celebrities and personalities have passed through its doors, but Runway's real legacy has been built on countless birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and family dinners. Falsetto says a typical evening can see a family celebrating their grandmother's 80th birthday at one table and a 21st birthday across the room. “Everyone wants to celebrate,” he says. Falsetto joined longtime owner Anthony Bruno and partner Pat Marzano in reinventing the restaurant in 2023, when a major renovation ushered in a new chapter without abandoning the elements that made Runway an institution. The result feels like stepping into the golden supper club era of Frank Sinatra. There are no windows to remind diners of the world outside. Live music adds to the sense that a Thursday evening can be transformed into an event. “It’s like being at an Italian wedding every single night,” Falsetto says. “It’s high energy. It’s been imitated but never duplicated.” The menu similarly straddles past and present, with newer dishes alongside classics that regulars have ordered for decades. Chicken parm, hot antipasto, pasta with cauliflower, tableside Caesar salad, and the veal chop Danielle remain favorites. Large family-style portions encourage breaking bread with friends. “Nostalgia never goes away,” Falsetto says. “It’s that familiarity. It’s that ice-cold martini. It’s that veal chop.” Runway has survived recessions, financial crises, and a pandemic. Falsetto believes restaurants like it weather difficult periods because guests know exactly what they are going to get.

LUXE 2026 | LMGFL.COM/LUXE

Anthony Bruno, who has been the steward of Runway's legacy for decades, sees another ingredient as equally important: people. “It's genuine hospitality,” Bruno says. “People who care.” Many employees have been with Runway for decades, including a manager with roughly 30 years at the restaurant. Bruno says hiring has never simply been about finding someone with the strongest résumé. He looks for people who instinctively understand how to take care of others. “People love to be known. I don't think that will ever change. People want to be recognized," says Bruno. That recognition might mean being greeted by name, having a drink at the bar, or seeing familiar faces across the dining

room. It transforms dinner into something larger than a meal, creating a bond between guest and staff, and turning customers into family. Diners in their 40s who first visited as five-year-olds are returning with families of their own. The food is part of that continuity. Ask Bruno what to order, and choosing just one dish becomes nearly impossible. He points to the classics, the Sunday Feast, and the seafood before conceding that longtime Runway customers generally don't need his advice. “You know what you're going to get,” he says. “You don't need a menu. I wake up in the morning, and I know what I'm going to eat for dinner.” For Bruno, longevity also requires delivering value — generous portions, quality ingredients, atmosphere, and service that make guests feel their money was well spent. Falsetto sees something else happening inside the dining room today. On any given night, the dining room transforms into a big soiree filled with good food, good music, and good spirits. While other restaurants may chase after the next trend, Runway 84's classic excellence is its greatest achievement.

At Pier Sixty-Six, some dinner guests pull up by car while others tie up at the dock. The most beloved is Pelican Landing. The open-air, two-story restaurant that longtime visitors remember from the original Pier Sixty-Six, returns to the resort along the edge of the largest superyacht marina on the Eastern Seaboard. The appeal has always been the arrival: Boaters step off the water and settle in for chilled cocktails as the sun goes down behind rows of masts, while resort guests wander over from the property. The restaurant's next chapter keeps the laid-back coastal character regulars know and pairs it with a more refined culinary approach. The refreshed menu opens with the “Million Dollar Nuggets,” finished with caviar, and moves into coastal classics such as an oyster po' boy. Abundant seafood platters and shareable favorites are built for the table, dessert comes in playful jars, and the beverage program is designed for long afternoons and evenings on the marina. Pelican Landing joins a dozen dining destinations across the resort, each with its own point of view, literally and figuratively. Calusso is the property's fine-dining spot, shaped

by the global culinary influences of South Florida. It’s well suited to an intimate dinner or a milestone celebration, featuring creative, seafood-fueled dishes like oyster Caprese, uni bruschetta, and brandade deviled egg with smoked trout. At Sotogrande, the flavors of Southern Spain and the Eastern Mediterranean take the lead, from hummus and baba ghanoush to chicken keftedes with Ottoman rice and lamb kofte with cumin and bell pepper. For something more intimate, Sushi by Bou offers high-end omakase, with sustainable seafood sourced locally and globally and paired with premium sake and rare Japanese whiskeys. Mornings belong to Garni, where French-inspired dishes meet American classics, and Sunday brings a brunch buffet with bottomless mimosas. Then there is Pier Top. The revolving lounge on the 17th floor, a designated historic landmark, has returned with champagne-and-caviar service, signature cocktails, and 360-degree views of the ocean and skyline. Between the dock and the top floor, an evening at Pier Sixty-Six can start with a po' boy beside yachts and end with caviar high above the city.

the PERMANENT STAYCATION Every day’s a staycation when you call Pier Sixty-Six home

BY CL ARISSA BUCH ZILBERMAN

LMGFL.COM/LUXE | LUXE 2026 51

P i e r S i x t y -S i x , Fo r t Lauderdale's most legendary address has become a new kind of home, one where the lifestyle isn't just a selling point. In fact, that's the whole point. And for the people who live here, the staycation never ends.

But long before there was a waitlist, Pier Sixty-Six was already telling its own story. The site traces back to a Phillips 66 fuel dock in the 1950s, grew into Fort Lauderdale's social harbor through the 1960s, and played host to everyone from Frank Sinatra to Liza Minnelli. The iconic spire tower was, at the time of its construction, the tallest building in Fort Lauderdale. The rotating Pier Top lounge on its 17th floor became a civic institution. In 2016, Tavistock Development Company purchased the property and began a multi-billion-dollar redevelopment — one that would quietly erase the line between resort guest and resident. The permanent staycation used to be a fantasy. At Pier Sixty-Six, it's a floor plan. Today’s luxury buyers are looking for more than beautiful finishes. They’re seeking out destination properties with amenities that equate to a comprehensive lifestyle. Many of the people who ultimately purchase here don’t come looking for real estate at all. They start as guests

— staying at the resort, docking their boats at the marina during Fort Lauderdale's celebrated boat show season — and discover something they hadn't anticipated: a fully realized lifestyle already in motion: attention to detail, a welcoming drink at check-in, a friendly resort representative who walks them through the history and features of the property. That kind of concierge experience can make the decision to turn a short stay into a lifetime of luxury. For those already familiar with the Pier Sixty-Six name — particularly in the yachting world — the conversation starts with the marina. With 5,000 linear feet of dockage and 164 slips accommodating vessels from 40 to 400 feet, it is one of the largest superyacht marinas on the Eastern Seaboard. There are no bridge restrictions to ocean access. But for many boat owners, the marina is just the beginning. Pier Sixty-Six has evolved into 32 waterfront acres anchored by 88 residences across four buildings — two condo buildings, Azul and Indigo, and two resort residences buildings — with prices starting at $3.85 million. The most talked-about listing at the moment is the Indigo Penthouse: a 7,794-square-foot, fivebedroom residence on the 10th floor with two private plunge pools, a dedicated fitness studio, a private sauna, and 180-degree views spanning the marina, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean. It is listed at $16 million and available for immediate occupancy. It is also the last penthouse floor plan available at Pier Sixty-Six and, at nearly 8,000 square feet, among the largest condos on the Fort Lauderdale market. Inside, an expansive open-plan living and dining area is anchored by a chefinspired kitchen with custom Italian cabinetry, quartz countertops, and an integrated appliance suite by SubZero, Wolf, and Asko. The bathrooms carry the same custom Italian wood cabinetry, finished with polished chrome fixtures by Grohe and smart

LUXE 2026 | LMGFL.COM/LUXE

toilets by Kohler, while the primary bathroom features a spa-style rain shower with integrated LED lighting. Ownership comes with invitation-only membership to The Club at Pier Sixty-Six, which includes access to the 13,000-square-foot Zenova Spa & Wellness, home to the region's first snow room and ceremonial sauna, a dedicated members' pool, private dining venues, and a robust calendar of curated social events. This last element is a key factor for marina-focused individuals seeking a complete lifestyle rather than a winter escape. It's a shift that has quietly transformed what "buying a condo" means at the top of the market. The conversation has moved from square footage and building amenities to something closer to membership in a place that comes complete with restaurants, a spa, culinary experiences, live music, and a club. Fort Lauderdale, long positioned as Miami's quieter neighbor to the

north, is the right backdrop for this evolution. Pier Sixty-Six has leaned into the idea of transforming the city from the “Venice of America” to the “Monaco of America.” Buyers from comparable properties have arrived at Pier Sixty-Six curious, Ballon notes, drawn by something that feels both familiar and distinct. At its core, what Pier Sixty-Six is selling, and what its residents are buying, is the permanent staycation: the idea that the place you come home to should feel as good as the best trip you've ever taken. That dream is now a reality.

Klas Luxury Design

FEstefania Schuman was rearranging rooms long before she was designing them. Growing up, she was constantly moving furniture in her parents' home, looking for ways to make a space more balanced. By around 17, she was already advising family members on their homes. "I was always aware of my surroundings and how they made me feel," she says. That instinct grew into Klas Luxury Design. "Luxury doesn't have to mean excess; it can be found in beautiful proportions, quality materials, thoughtful details, and how a space makes you feel," she says. Her style follows suit: neutral palettes, natural materials, clean lines, and carefully selected details, designed to feel as beautiful years from now as they do today.

Whether the project is a private residence or a commercial space, Schuman says her philosophy stays the same. Next up is the one she calls her proudest: the upcoming renovation of Las Olas Beach Club, a larger commercial project that will be enjoyed by an entire community. For readers refreshing their own spaces, here’s what Schuman suggests: 1. Design for how a room feels. Beyond looks, Schuman considers flow, proportion, lighting, color, texture, and the emotion someone should experience walking in. "A room can make you feel calm, inspired, energized, or even overwhelmed," she says. 2. Get the scale right. The most common mistake she sees is falling for a single piece without considering how its size relates to the room and everything around it.

"When the scale is right, a room immediately feels more balanced and sophisticated," she says. Try color drenching. Carrying one carefully selected color across the walls, trim, doors, and sometimes the ceiling is one of her favorite ways to create continuity, giving a room depth and a cohesive feel. Let the view lead. For a coastal feel that isn't overly beachy, she relies on natural light, soft neutrals, organic textures, and sheer drapery. "When you're fortunate enough to have a beautiful view, I believe the design should complement it rather than compete with it," she says. Edit with intention. Over the years, her approach has become more refined. "I've learned that a sophisticated space doesn't necessarily come from adding more. Sometimes it comes from knowing what to leave out," she says.

sheryl B L E U S T E I N Interiors By SBI

For nearly 30 years, Sheryl Bleustein has been quietly transforming some of South Florida's most coveted addresses. Since founding Interiors By SBI in Fort Lauderdale in 1996, she has run the firm on her own, building a client roster that returns to her project after project, home after home. Bleustein's process is carefully thorough. She takes on a project from the ground up, overseeing construction, design, landscaping, and every finishing detail. "I design everything from the street to the back of the home," she says. Her scope often extends well beyond a single residence, too. "You start with a client, you do either their jet or their vessel or their home, and then you end up doing their other home, their other vessel, their other jet," she says. Though each project varies greatly,

what never changes is her guiding rule: "I never repeat a fabric. I never repeat a wallpaper," she says, a promise that every home she touches will be as singular as the family living inside it. For readers hoping to bring that magic to their own space, Bleustein recommends the following tips: 1. Invest in fabric first. Highperformance velvet, silk and chenille can carry a bold color, like cranberry or orange, without it feeling fleeting. And a well-made room should hold up to real life. "I don't do homes that you have to tiptoe around," she says. "Use your home. Let your children and grandchildren run around." 2. Plan furniture to scale. The most common mistake she sees is furniture that overwhelms or underwhelms a room. Before buying anything, sketch out a

furniture plan to scale to confirm proportions actually work in the space. Let wallpaper do the heavy lifting. It remains Bleustein’s favorite affordable way to transform a room, delivering the kind of warmth and personality paint alone cannot achieve. Design for your life, not a trend. Before choosing a single color, Bleustein wants to understand a client's travel, art collection and daily routine. "I don't really do trendy things," she says, favoring an elegant, lived-in approach that ages well. Remember that scale of budget is not the point. She recently refreshed a home for a client with just a few thousand dollars in new accessories, and says the experience was every bit as rewarding as her largest builds. "It doesn't matter the budget. It doesn't matter the size of the project," she says. "It matters the relationship I make with the client." LMGFL.COM/LUXE | LUXE 2026 61

fatima S

FDG GROUP

Fatima Silva's work covers a lot of ground, both literally and figuratively. She designs private homes in Miami, the Bay Area, and Cabo; resorts in Maui and Costa Rica; and hospitality projects like the Viceroy in Sun Valley. She also takes on the occasional yacht. Across all of it, Silva designs around how her clients actually live. One Golden Beach client wanted only faux plants. Another, at Faena, wanted pattern layered on pattern and color on color. The constants are proportion, light, and a strong tie to the landscape. "We always try to connect everything to the outdoors," she says. Lighting, in her view, does as much as any piece of furniture: "It's amazing how lighting can create a mood and change the feeling of the room." Silva began her interior design career in Hong Kong and later spent more

than 20 years with Hart Howerton before founding FDG eight years ago. Now based in Miami, she travels around the world for site visits, even flying by helicopter to a project otherwise unreachable in Barbuda. For readers rethinking their home’s interior design, she offers a few principles: 1. Go bigger than you think. Scale is the detail people most often get wrong. Oversized pieces paired with smaller accents make a room feel cozy without shrinking it. "You never think to do an oversized sofa in a small room, but when you do, it actually works great," she says. 2. Hang drapery high and wide. In rooms with low ceilings, mount window treatments at the ceiling line to make the room read taller. Then pull them onto the walls, off

the glass, to let in as much daylight as possible. Layer your lighting. Silva favors warm 2,700 Kelvin light built from art lighting, lamps, and a few key sources rather than rows of recessed cans. "I think people tend to overlight, like bullet holes in the ceiling, which is not what we should go for," she says. Bring the outdoors in without going full coastal. "Everybody always thinks Miami's all white," she says. Keep the larger pieces neutral and let color and pattern show up in pillows and ottomans. Plants in woven baskets and a petrified wood coffee table ground luxe fabrics in something natural. Practice restraint. One standout piece can carry a room, and the supporting pieces can be affordable finds. "If you're on a budget, less is more," she says. Knowing when to stop is the real skill. "Restraint is very hard. People don't realize that."

ueled by South Florida’s golden sun and boundless energy, Miami’s modern design scene is having its ultimate moment. Leading this movement are three visionaries: SIGAL’s hand-painted resort wear, Palmiers Eyewear’s cinematic warm-tinted frames, and CÉCIE’s customized millinery. Together, these home-grown labels translate South Florida’s vibrant spirit into timeless, artfully crafted luxury. SIGAL Venezuelan-born designer Sigal Cohen Wolkowiez, uses watercolor drawings to translate nature’s raw energy into artful, timeless garments that bridge luxury and ease. Using a watercolor technique she calls "blind painting," she creates motifs, inspired by the lush foliage of the tropics, South Florida’s iconic Art Deco hues, and coastal living, ultimately becoming the striking signature prints of her namesake resort wear label, SIGAL. Founded in 2015, SIGAL embodies a distinct brand philosophy defined as "Tropical Maximalism". Flowy silk kimonos, breezy kaftans, and matching sets double as canvas and clothing, designed for women who embrace bold, unapologetic self-expression. "I wanted to create pieces that make women feel radiant and effortless. Clothes that transition seamlessly from a morning on the coast to an evening out," says Wolkowiez.

Grounded in a core belief that high fashion should exist in harmony with the planet, Wolkowiez prioritizes lowimpact, sustainable materials like organic linen, pure silk, and lotus flower fibers. Each pattern is transferred to fabric using non-toxic inks in zero-waste, environmentally responsible facilities, ensuring every print honors the ecosystems that inspired it. From local South Florida boutiques to international runway presentations at PARAISO Miami Swim Week, SIGAL transforms modern resort wear into an immersive narrative. Shop at shopsigal.com. Palmiers Eyewear For Palmiers Eyewear founders Yoana Obregon and Max Mendez, life’s best moments should be savored through a warmer lens. Named after the caramelized French pastry whose layered curves mirror the brand’s rich aesthetic, Palmiers reframes how sunglasses are worn. Designed for those who never take off their frames (whether indoors, outdoors, day, or night), the label crafts structural, vintage-inspired frames carved from premium Italian Mazzucchelli acetate. What truly defines Palmiers is its signature suite of warm-tinted nylon lenses available in flavor-inspired hues like Saffron, Brûlée, Olive, and Espresso. Beyond serving as a shield against Florida’s intense light, these

LMGFL.COM/LUXE | LUXE 2026 67

specialized lenses filter out harsh blue wavelengths, infusing the surroundings with a soft, cinematic glow regardless of the hour. Light enough to wear indoors during an evening dinner, Palmiers frames are built to facilitate genuine eye contact and human connection rather than create a barrier.

LUXE 2026 | LMGFL.COM/LUXE

Embraced by South Florida’s stylish crowd and stocked in premier destinations like the Miami Design District and the Miami Beach EDITION, Palmiers blends old-world European craftsmanship with a relaxed coastal soul. Shop at palmierseyewear.com.

CÉCIE Conceived in Miami and handcrafted by master artisans in Mexico, CÉCIE (also known as Cecie Atelier) creates headwear anchored in quiet elegance, symbolism, and intentional design. Rather than treating hats as seasonal accessories, the brand approaches millinery as an authored form of wearable art. At the heart of the atelier’s identity are its signature Panama and flat-brimmed Cordobés silhouettes. Woven from authentic natural straw and individually hand-painted, each piece undergoes hours of meticulous craftsmanship before being finished with a protective, weather-resistant seal. Interwoven with subtle numerology and rich equestrian motifs, CÉCIE frames statement headwear for polo matches, sundrenched coastal gatherings, and elevated daily life. Beyond its core collections, CÉCIE also specializes in bespoke styling sessions and live atelier pop-up experiences. Guests are invited to customize details and adorn their hats with specialized jewelry, creating personalized keepsakes. Shop at cecie.co.

WHEELS Step inside the world of Ferrari

LUXE 2026 | LMGFL.COM/LUXE

LMGFL.COM/LUXE | LUXE 2026 71

Ferrari is more than just a car. It's a precision machine, a piece of art, and -- for the person fortunate enough to own one -- an entry into a unique world of luxury. At Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale and Ferrari of Boca Raton, that world extends well beyond the showroom. The two dealerships essentially operate as one, sharing inventory and moving cars between locations, says Gaurav Khanna, director of marketing for Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale and Ferrari of Boca Raton. The Boca Raton dealership also features a new service facility and serves as headquarters

LUXE 2026 | LMGFL.COM/LUXE

for the dealer group’s Ferrari Challenge race team. The expansion into Boca Raton was largely about bringing the experience closer to Ferrari clients in Palm Beach County and communities farther west. While the two dealerships are only about 20 miles apart, Khanna notes that South Florida traffic can turn that drive into an hour. The Boca location effectively doubles the operation’s service footprint and showroom space. Those two spaces are designed to create an experience that's as unique as the Ferrari name. Sales professionals are trained to the brand's standards, while technicians and service advisers must receive factory-authorized education and certification. The dealerships provide loaner vehicles and complimentary vehicle transportation for Ferraris requiring service. In many cases, an owner doesn’t have to bring the car in at all. “If a Ferrari needs to be serviced, we can pick it up and bring it back

to a client’s home,” Khanna says. “So, they don’t have to lift a finger.” Ferrari ownership also unlocks experiences designed to let drivers explore what the machines can actually do. Owners can receive invitations to exclusive Ferrari events, road excursions, and track experiences, and priority for ordering future models. Khanna recalls a Ferrari Racing Days event in which clients rallied from the dealership to the Formula One circuit at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where they were able to drive the F1 track. Some of the most fascinating work happening at the dealerships involve Ferraris that have already lived long lives. Both locations are authorized Ferrari Classiche service centers, allowing

them to prepare vintage Ferraris for factory certification. The painstaking process includes documenting the car, submitting photographs and chassis information to Ferrari in Italy, and completing work required by the factory. Once approved, the car receives a coveted “red book,” documenting that it meets Ferrari’s standards. Khanna compares the process to authenticating a treasured masterpiece. “If there is a restoration that could be approved by Rembrandt himself,” he says, imagine the artist providing a certificate declaring, 'This is accurate to how I would have painted it back then.” Cars certified through the dealerships have gone on to appear at shows including the Cavallino

Classic in Palm Beach and Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, with many earning prestigious awards. In addition to precision racing vehicles, Ferrari now offers everything from grand tourers to vehicles that accommodate four adults, expanding the ways owners can incorporate a Ferrari into their lives. Ferrari also encourages owners to develop their driving skills through intensive track programs with professional race drivers, instructors, and engineers. Khanna calls the cars “rolling art,” combining innovation, luxury, driving pleasure, exclusivity, history, and heritage. The connection to

racing remains central, with technology developed on the Formula One and Endurance car circuits eventually finding its way into road cars. For Khanna, there is a direct connection between the Ferrari driven on South Florida streets and the machines built for the racetrack. Perhaps that is what makes the experience different. Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale and Ferrari of Boca Raton aren’t simply places to buy and service extraordinary cars. They are portals into the performance, craftsmanship, history, and culture surrounding them.

W Fort Lauderdale

Get WET with a spectacular ocean view At the W Fort Lauderdale, the day starts at the pool deck, whether or not you're staying the night. The oceanfront hotel has refreshed its two social hubs, the Living Room and the WET Deck, and both were designed with locals in mind as much as hotel guests. Tihany Design, the award-winning global studio behind the redesign, gave the 422-room beachfront property a pair of rooms worth building a day around. Inside, the Living Room has been reborn as a lounge of plush blue textures, custom lighting installations, and statement furnishings, anchored by an expanded bar and an elevated DJ booth. It reads as a daytime retreat until the light drops, and it turns into something closer to a nightlife destination. The programming is exceedingly robust: Golden Hour happy hour lands daily from 4 to 7 p.m. Mondays are Industry Night, 8 p.m. to close. Tuesdays bring TEQ the Night Off from 8 to 10 p.m., Wednesdays turn into Game Nights from 6 to 9 p.m., and Thursdays close with Saber the Sunset from 8 p.m. to close. Friday and Saturday belong to Living Room After Dark Jazz Nights, 7 p.m. to midnight, and Sunday Spritz sends the week off from 1 to 4 p.m. "Through this reimagining, we've created spaces that feel both timeless and distinctly authentic for Fort Lauderdale," said Cody Bertone, general manager of W Fort Lauderdale. "The redesign of WET Deck and Living Room represents a bold new chapter that reflects the energy of Fort Lauderdale while delivering a luxury experience that is both elevated and distinctly W Hotels." Five floors above the Atlantic, the WET Deck makes the case for the other half of the day. The largest elevated pool deck on Fort Lauderdale Beach has been reimagined as a coastal playground of custom cabanas and bungalows, set against panoramic ocean views with the newly unveiled W Sunrise Lounge looking out over the water.

AC Hotel Fort Lauderdale Beach A fresh chapter by the sea

Drive along Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard this fall and you may notice the AC Hotel Fort Lauderdale Beach is in the middle of a makeover. The property opened in 2021 and is now undergoing a full exterior restoration. The work includes a new coat of paint and balconies that are being resurfaced and repainted, and new furniture expected to be in place by the end of 2026. But the changes go well beyond the facade. At street level, the lobby patio is trading all of its outdoor furniture for a more social setup, with couches, cozy seating areas, and new bar tables and stools. Alongside the patio refresh, the AC Lounge is introducing a new food and drink menu. The lounge's tapas-style small and large plates, including salads and handhelds, along with precisely crafted cocktails by an in-house mixologist and easygoing wine list already make it a natural place to linger, and the updated patio gives guests more room to do exactly that. Four floors up, the bar and pool area is getting an identity of its own. By the end of the year, it will officially become “A Sea Escape.” The space is being refurnished with daybeds, and poolside food service will debut with an updated food and drink menu. The lobby is also in line for a greener look. The hotel plans to bring in tropical foliage to give the space a more island-inspired feel. A date hasn't been set, but the goal is to finish that project by year's end as well. The upgrades build on what already sets the hotel apart. AC Hotels was founded by Spanish entrepreneur Antonio Catalán, and the Fort Lauderdale outpost carries that European sensibility into rooms with hardwood floors and balconies facing either the ocean or the Intracoastal. Guests are greeted by Between the Woods, the brand's signature scent of fig leaf, amber, and fir balsam, and nights end with a lavender turndown. For South Floridians, the refresh is a good excuse to see the beach from a different angle. Book a weekend in a water-view room, spend an afternoon on a daybed at “A Sea Escape,” and end the night on the new patio with a plate from the updated lounge menu. LMGFL.COM/LUXE | LUXE 2026 77

Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel

Great food, gorgeous vistas, and blissful relaxation Sometimes the best weekend plans are the ones closest to home. The Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel has all the makings of an easy staycation: a pool with a view, a full-service spa, and enough places to eat and drink that there's really no reason to leave. The 29-story hotel has 801 guest rooms and suites, but its food and beverage lineup is a big part of the draw. Start with Barchetta, the hotel's Italian chophouse, or head to Reef 76 Kitchen & Bar for seafood and coastal dishes. Sports fans can settle into Fair Ketch, a lively bar that ups the game-day experience with a Topgolf Swing Suite featuring two bays, games to play, and screens so you can cheer on your favorite team. For a decidedly more relaxed afternoon, Tide Coastal Kitchen serves light bites and cocktails alongside the pool — an ideal combination for a day dedicated to doing as little as possible. As the sun goes down, Ibis Sky Lounge offers indoor and outdoor seating, rooftop views, and cocktails. Hidden Key, the hotel's lobby gathering spot, keeps the drinks and dining going throughout the day, while Leeward Market handles the morning coffee, pastries, and quick bites. A staycation also calls for a little pampering. Mokara Spa, inspired by Florida's natural springs, offers massages, facials, and Hammam steam rituals. With views stretching toward the Intracoastal Waterway and beach, the Omni offers a stunning excuse to play tourist in your own city. Check in, put the car keys away, and make a weekend of it. With dinner, rooftop drinks, a spa, and pool time all an elevator ride away, staying local feels a lot more like getting away. LMGFL.COM/LUXE | LUXE 2026 79

n Fort Lauderdale, Bahia Mar is where the mega yachts come in. Soon, it will be where residents come home, too. The city's premier mega yacht marina is home to the world's largest in-water boat show. It’s also the setting for a $2 billion waterfront development from Related Group, Tate Capital, and Rok Acquisitions, in collaboration with Marriott International: The St. Regis Resort & Residences, Bahia Mar, Fort Lauderdale. Life here is designed around effortless living and entertaining. Owners will have a private spa, a waterfront club, and St. Regis service close at hand, so the rituals of a resort stay become part of the everyday. A morning on the tennis court can lead into an afternoon at the pool, with the marina just steps away. The development will include a flagship St. Regis hotel, branded residences, signature dining, curated retail, and a full-service beach club. Arquitectonica leads the architecture, with interiors by Tara Bernerd & Partners. Residences start at $3 million. Owners of The Private Residences have 35,000 square feet of amenities reserved for them, including the newly unveiled Bahia Mar Club, a waterfront wellness sanctuary. Inside, the full-service spa offers steam rooms, saunas, hot and cold plunges, and private treatment rooms. There’s also an indooroutdoor fitness center, a wellness terrace, a salon, a library, and a children's entertainment room. The resort itself adds another 44,000 square feet. Twin waterfront pools are paired with an all-day poolside bar and restaurant. An oceanview fitness center and spa, the St. Regis Spirits Room and Tea Room, and signature dining with Intracoastal views complete the offerings, along with ballroom venues for large-scale entertaining. Beyond the resort and residences, residents have an acre of their own. The Bahia Mar Club is a private waterfront retreat exclusively for residents of The St. Regis Residences. It includes a tennis court and padel court with a courtside gallery, as well as a St. Regis-serviced clubhouse and lap pool. The Green, an expansive private lawn, is set aside for yoga, tai chi, stretching, and gathering. A summer kitchen, social patio, serenity garden, children's playground, and sunset terrace with fire pits fill out the grounds. Residents also have 24-hour access to a private waterfront park designed by EDSA. LMGFL.COM/LUXE | LUXE 2026 83

ome people get a taste of RitzCarlton service a few nights a year. Here, it comes with the keys. Tucked within a private enclave on the Intracoastal Waterway, moments from the beach, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach offers a rare boutique alternative to the larger towers that line the coast, with a hospitality-driven lifestyle designed to make home feel like a resort. The dual-tower development from MICL and Admire Capital holds just 83 residences, with pricing starting at $3.4 million. "From the outset, our approach was to develop a project that prioritizes design and livability over size," said Vatsal Shah, director of MICL. "By limiting the number of residences and carefully shaping the architecture and service experience, we're

building something intended to last." Garcia Stromberg leads the architecture, with interiors by Dan Fink Studio. The collection is planned as two- and threebedroom residences with dens, ranging from approximately 1,550 to 3,480 square feet, including six penthouses with ceiling heights up to 11 feet. The towers are positioned to maximize water views, and select residences take in both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal. Expansive floor plans are designed around natural light and indoor-outdoor living, with floorto-ceiling sliding glass doors and generous private terraces. Interiors feature Shaker-style cabinetry, integrated Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and European-style solid-core doors, while spainspired primary bathrooms come with freestanding soaking tubs and Waterworks fixtures. Select residences are slated to include private elevator lobbies and

dedicated service elevators, and certain penthouses offer private rooftop terraces with plunge pools. Amenities are designed to feel residential in scale yet resort-like in execution. Landscaped gardens are set to frame a lap pool and leisure pool between the towers, complemented by private cabanas, a dog park and a select number of dock slips along the Intracoastal. Indoors, plans include a residents' lounge with a catering kitchen, a screening room, a multi-sport simulator, a conference room and a dedicated children's playroom. Then there’s the service, which is where everyday life starts to feel like a getaway. A dedicated on-site Ritz-Carlton team will offer 24-hour valet, concierge, and personalized lifestyle management. The property will be managed by Marriott International but has no hotel component, so owners enjoy that renowned service in a fully private residential setting.

Waldorf Astoria Residences POMPANO BEACH

LUXE 2026 | LMGFL.COM/LUXE

aldorf Astoria has always been a place to stay. In Pompano Beach, it becomes a place to live. Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach is the brand's first-ever standalone residential development, as well as its debut in the city. Developed by Related Group in partnership with Merrimac Ventures and Hilton, the oceanfront address holds 92 residences. The appeal is the feeling of a favorite getaway without a checkout date. The Atlantic is the backdrop, and the name over the entrance carries the kind of hospitality people usually plan a trip around. Here, that sense of occasion simply becomes part of the week, whether it is a Saturday spent between the sand and home or an ordinary Tuesday that ends with the sound of the surf. Inside, the homes are generous by any measure. Two- to five-bedroom residences range from approximately 2,100 to 6,100 square feet. Pricing runs from $2.5 million to $5.9 million, excluding the penthouses. Nichols Architects designed the building in collaboration with KORA, while BAMO created the interiors and Enea Landscape Architecture shaped the grounds, bringing the landscape into conversation with the ocean just beyond. The building topped off in May 2026, marking the completion of vertical construction. Over 90% of the residences are already under contract, more than a year before the first owners are expected to move in. The penthouses made headlines of their own: In June, two went under contract for $17.1 million and $18.1 million, respectively, the priciest residential deals in the history of Pompano Beach. For now, construction is underway, with delivery slated for summer 2027. When the doors open, the Waldorf Astoria name will greet residents coming home from the beach rather than guests arriving for the weekend, and the vacation will not have to end on Sunday.

The Atlantic Ocean on one side, the Intracoastal Waterway on the other, with Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach between the two. Life here moves at the pace of a resort stay. Owners enjoy Rosewood-serviced amenities and comprehensive residential services, so the attentive touches usually reserved for a special trip become part of the daily routine. A morning at the spa can give way to an afternoon on the water, with no bags to pack and no flight to catch. Developed by The Related Group with partners Rosewood Hotels & Resorts and Dezer Development, the intimate waterfront property holds 92 condominium homes and villas. Seventy residences occupy a 10-story beachfront tower, while 22 villa-style homes fill a three-story low-rise. Pricing for available homes begins at $5.95 million. Up top, a newly unveiled collection of 15 ultra-luxury penthouses is made for long evenings outdoors. Six face the ocean, and nine overlook the Intracoastal, with pricing from $16.5 million. Each is crowned by an expansive rooftop terrace with a plunge pool, summer kitchen, lounge, and open-air dining space. Penthouses range from 2,800 to 6,400 square feet, and units can be combined to create vast seaside retreats. The collection represents the area's only hospitality-branded premium residences. Here, fine dining is never far from home either. Award-winning chef and restaurateur Bradley Kilgore of Kilgore Hospitality Group will lead the signature culinary program in his first residential partnership. Plans include an oceanfront restaurant, a creamery and gelateria, a stone-fired pizzeria, private dining, and in-residence catering. A light-filled wellness center will house a private spa and salon, as well as two state-of-the-art fitness centers featuring a yoga room and a sauna. Outdoors, residents will find tennis, paddle tennis, and pickleball courts, along with an on-site racquet court pro shop. A private marina with 14 boat slips puts the Intracoastal within easy reach. Construction is underway, with delivery slated for 2027.

Bungalow East

FORT LAUDERDALE BEACH

LUXE 2026 | LMGFL.COM/LUXE

ort Lauderdale Beach is where people come to unwind. At Bungalow East, it’s simply the walk home. Set in North Beach Village, steps from both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, this 14-story boutique condominium from Merrimac Ventures will hold just 34 three- and four-bedroom residences and penthouses, priced from approximately $2 million to $4 million. The idea, according to Dev Motwani, co-managing partner of Merrimac Ventures, is for the amenities to feel like a natural extension of the homes, so the building functions more like a private beachside estate than a traditional condominium. Designed by Swedroe Architecture and slated to break

ground in late 2026, the building will feature interiors by Adriana Hoyos Design Studio, drawing on Fort Lauderdale Beach's coastal setting and the neighborhood's layered history. "Designing Bungalow East was about creating a sense of ease — spaces that feel intentional, personal, and comfortable from the moment you arrive," said Adriana Hoyos, founder and creative director of the studio. "By aligning the language of the residences with the amenity spaces, the building feels cohesive and residential at every scale, allowing owners to experience the amenities as true extensions of their homes." Residences range from approximately 2,100 to 4,680 square feet, and each includes private elevator access. Custom European-inspired kitchens by Italkraft come with a Sub-Zero

Wolf appliance suite, including gas cooktops. Floor-to-ceiling impact-resistant glass, 10-foot ceilings, and terraces up to 12 feet deep with summer kitchens blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, while penthouses add private rooftop terraces. The amenity list reads like a resort itinerary. A resort-style pool deck with cabanas and a jacuzzi sits alongside a wellness spa with sauna, steam, and cold plunge, a fitness center and movement studio, a beauty salon, a yoga lawn, and a rooftop lounge designed for intimate gatherings from sunrise to sunset. There is also a pet spa and dog run, a resident lounge with a private conference room, a library-style workspace, a gaming and entertainment lounge, and a ground-floor space for a neighborhood bistro or boutique.

The finest spaces announce themselves through detail, be it a sculptural flourish, an unexpected wash of light, or a floor so intricately rendered that looking down becomes totally irresistible. Across Broward County, such moments have quietly bedazzled airports, libraries, arenas, parks, and civic buildings for five decades. This expansive collection receives its first proper showcase in 50 Years of Public Art & Design in Broward County, a richly illustrated, 288-page hardcover retrospective debuting October 29. Designed by internationally renowned studio Pentagram, the volume features 262 contemporary and archival photographs spotlighting 130 artists and a public collection exceeding 350 works. The book traces its origin story to 1976, when Broward adopted an ordinance allocating one precent of county construction budgets to public art. The measure placed the county among America’s earliest municipal “percent for art” programs.

“Eventually, around the ‘80s, the program started to evolve toward commissioning artists to create alongside the buildings,” says Meredith Clements, the Broward County Cultural Division’s business development manager and the book’s co-editor with Public Art & Design Administrator Dr. Lea Rekow. “It brought the artist in with the engineers and architects initially to create site-specific works.” That shift moved Broward beyond purchasing finished paintings and sculptures. Artists began influencing lighting, infrastructure, landscaping, and architectural elements from a project’s earliest stages. One vivid example is Martha Schwartz’s Flying Saucer Grove, whose green, otherworldly forms appeared outside what is now Amerant Bank Arena. Elsewhere, travelers encounter illuminated installations around baggage claim at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, often without recognizing that what captivates their eye is commissioned art. “ The artworks are all presented in their architectural, historical, and geographic context, on-site,” Clements says of the book. “There are landmark commissions, as well as works that people may pass regularly without realizing they’re even public art.” A decisive chapter arrived in 1995 with Design Broward, a master plan that formalized the inclusion of artists on multidisciplinary design teams. The document ultimately offered a model for public art programs elsewhere in the United States, a revelation that stood out to Clements during the

LUXE 2026 | LMGFL.COM/LUXE

book’s years-long development. Pentagram’s involvement gives the retrospective the polish of a luxury art volume rather than a sterile government archive. Large-scale imagery celebrates the collection as it exists in real life, embedded within places used by millions of residents and visitors. “Exceptional places are distinguished by detail, design, and a clear sense of identity,” Clements says. “Public art can contribute to that much in the same way that the design of your private home creates character, anchors your sense of identity, and makes memorable experiences.” The next era promises even bolder gestures. A planned $6 million lighting installation will transform the 17th Street Causeway Bridge, while new commissions at the expanded Broward County Convention Center include a sprawling terrazzo ballroom floor. Technology-driven, interactive, light-based and sound-based works are also moving along. The Cultural Division has already mapped approximately 35 artworks into extended-reality environments, opening virtual access to spaces such as secured cruise terminals at Port Everglades. Conservation planning is also garnering attention, a necessity amid salty air, intense sun, and hurricanes. Copies of the retrospective are expected to become available through Broward County libraries and select cultural institutions. Fittingly, this survey of public art will return to the public, allowing readers to reconsider the visual landmarks hiding in plain sight.

hurricane is headed for Fort Lauderdale, and a young commander has a call to make: keep The Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) open, or restore power to a hospital and an entire neighborhood?

That's the scene inside the FPL Command Center, part of the Storm Center adjacent to the new phase of Build a Better World: The Future Begins with You, MODS’ newest permanent exhibit gallery. "It's big, it's immersive, there's a storm coming, there's lights flashing, sirens going, how do you take charge?" says Joseph P. Cox, president and CEO of MODS. "For a child and for an adult as well, this is incredibly empowering." "We want children to walk into the FPL Command Center really understanding the scale [and] the seriousness of a hurricane and hurricane preparedness," he says, "but to walk out understanding that there are lots of people working to get us ready for hurricanes to be able to prepare—and that they can be a part of that."

LUXE 2026 | LMGFL.COM/LUXE

Cox sees it as a metaphor for resilience. "No one out there has this magic button," he says. "What we have is communities [and] companies working together." That idea runs through Build a Better World’s Phase II launch, which expands the exhibit from South Florida's natural systems to the people, neighborhoods, and ideas shaping the region's future. Guided by feedback from more than 1,500 guests, educators, community partners, and staff, it's built around four character strengths: caring, confidence, cooperation, and critical thinking. Inside, families have the unique opportunity to design and test climate action solutions, while "LEGO Build the Change" challenges invite kids to imagine stronger communities, and a "Solutions Showcase" highlights climate technology and local innovation. "We've been really good at telling children what's happening in the world around them," Cox says. "But with Build a Better World, we're asking the question, ‘What does a child need inside them to believe that they can do something about it?’" "Hope without truth isn't useful," Cox adds. "So we're not

sanitizing the science in any way." The exhibit pairs facts with a role to play. "We can say sea levels are rising, but then ask the child, ‘How might a city respond?’" Cox says, "and then let them respond as a city planner or as a mayor." “ They're not the passive recipient of information and of a frightening future,” he adds, “but they're actually a participant in designing a more resilient future." So what exactly does climate action look like for a child? "Climate action for a six-year-old should look a lot like being what a sixyear-old is," Cox says. "Play is the job of a child." "We don't need six-year-olds to understand the technicalities of carbon accounting," he continues. "We need a six-year-old to develop a relationship with nature, to have curiosity about how systems work, empathy for other

living things, and confidence that their voice can be heard and that they can participate." Phase II builds on a first phase anchored by the Everglades Theater, which opened in June 2026. Designed as a first-of-its-kind AI-guided, challengebased theater experience, the Everglades Theater uses cinematic visuals, interactive gaming technology, and artificial intelligence to transport guests into one of the world’s most important ecosystems. Guided by Lilly, an AIpowered North American river otter, it helps children and families explore how everyday actions can support healthier ecosystems and a more resilient future. "If you want a child to care about the world around them, they first have to care about the simple things," Cox says. "We begin with wonder, with connection, with empathy, and never with fear."

Lilly herself is a test of that thinking. "The interesting question with her was never, can we make an otter talk?" Cox says. "We can do that, and she can have a great conversation with you. But the question we're asking is what happens to the humans she talks to when she talks?" MODS, he says, is "not looking at AI as a replacement for human interaction, but rather as a catalyst for it." "I think the biggest outcome for me will be outside of the museum," Cox says. "It will be an entire generation of South Florida children who've grown up believing that resilience is something that communities do together." "Build a Better World isn't about predicting a future or building a future," he continues. "It's about helping children and families understand that the future isn't something that simply happens. It's something that they can help build and they are a part of."
