LETTER EDITOR’S

All Your Own Of the many design evolutions the past year has wrought, one of the most striking has been that our homes are becoming more finely tuned to what we desire. The interiors we inhabit are less showpiece and more a statement about personal expression. Honestly, after 2020, does anyone care anymore about impressing the neighbors? As priorities shift, our homes are designed with greater intention and with individual style emerging. In this issue, we turn to several creatives to hear how their flair manifests. This issue also celebrates our GOLD LIST: design professionals from across the country whose projects graced our pages the past year. We greatly admire the taste and talent they bring to their work. As for me, I’m a creative at heart who relishes nesting at home.

I’ve been on-again/off-again painting my fireplace wall. I didn’t think too long and hard about the pattern...or about the effort! Rather, it’s a moment that sparks joy. As we head into this new year, I wish you much happiness in your own home.

WHAT: From her 1950s Sarasota house, Craig specializes in creating custom invitation suites and signage for weddings and other celebrations. Once she has worked with a client to determine the look they want, she hand-paints and then digitizes the invitations before printing them locally.

WHY: With a background in architecture, Craig has a trained eye for detail. Graphic

BEHIND THE BLOOM JARDIN FLORAL DESIGN

Spreading love through flowers is Elaine Muller’s goal, and she has done just that with her Naples-based shop, Jardin Floral Design, for the past five years. Not a big follower of trends, Muller’s arrangements draw their inspiration from European style, particularly modern Victorian paintings, which she says are “great inspiration for flowers, colors and movement.” But trend follower or not, she does let the seasons dictate the blooms she selects for her arrangements. With the change of season, she has been focusing on mixing yearround favorites like roses and hydrangeas with popular winter blooms such as boldly colored amaranth and daisy-like anemones.

“I personally love the magnificence of cymbidium orchids balanced with the simplicity of hellebores,” Muller says. jardinfdflowers.com

design had always been of interest to her, and so she decided to use her talents to design her own wedding invitations.

She was soon asked to design invitations for family, friends, and friends of friends, until she realized she could start her own company.

IN HER WORDS: “I used to stress about focusing on one specific style to create a better brand identity, but now I just try to design in a way that makes me and my clients happy. Through this, and reflecting on past work, I have discovered I gravitate toward regional elements that remind me of Florida, whether that be wildlife, pops of color or natural elements.”

MEET THE MAKER CONRAD WILLIAMS

Conrad Williams' fascination with glassblowing began at a young age. After watching a demonstration, he was determined to pursue the craft, going so far as to convince his high school to allow him to spend a semester doing a glassblowing internship for credit. His interest led to high-profile internships with Benjamin Moore and Dale Chihuly before he eventually opened a studio in Naples. Aside from creating his own work, which is exhibited at Judith Liegeois Designs, Williams places a heavy emphasis on teaching, both at his studio and at the Ritz-Carlton. Luxe talked with the artist about the driving force behind his art. conradwilliamsglass.com Tell us about your studio. When we moved to Naples, we took two directions with the studio. First, we wanted to be able to perform and teach, so we created a mobile glassblowing studio to demonstrate for people who wouldn’t otherwise see glass in motion. Getting into a glass studio is difficult because there is such a learning curve, so we want to provide opportunities to people to try it out. Then, of course, the other purpose was having a space for me to create my own artwork.

Where do you draw your inspiration?

I tend to get my ideas from observing the things in my life that strike me as interesting and visually stimulating. This could be something as simple as the way a tree branch bends. I dissect what

026

LUXESOURCE.COM

I like about it and then translate that into my work. It’s not about recreating literally, but rather in more of an emotional sense.

What are you working on now? On the fine-art end, I’ve been exploring working in reverse. Instead of continually adding to my glass to create a final piece, I’ve been building up a large piece of glass and then grinding and cutting away material to expose different layers. You can see multiple layers of color, and it really tells an interesting story. I’ve also been teaching my kids how to make components in glass, like marbles. Then I’ll put what they’ve created into a larger component I've made. You can really see how that dual relationships plays out in the final piece.

A LA CARTE BISTRO

Through February, The Baker Museum will play host to a comprehensive exhibition of American multimedia artist Dale Chihuly’s glass works. With installations both indoors and out, “Dreaming Forms: Chihuly Then and Now” will feature both recent works as well as earlier signature series, such as “Baskets,” “Venetians,” “Glass on Glass” and “Red Reeds.” This is the third major exhibition of Chihuly’s work at The Baker Museum, including a show of his works that was featured when the venue first opened in November 2000, and has been timed perfectly to celebrate the recently renovated museum’s 20th anniversary. artisnaples.org

If intriguing exhibits and fascinating architecture aren’t enough to draw you to the recently reopened Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College, then perhaps its latest addition, Bistro, will tempt you. Executive chef Kaytlin Dangaran serves up a seasonal menu inspired by local Florida farm stands, but Bistro offers its guests more than just a delicious meal. The eatery draws its design inspiration from both the 1926 M. Leo Elliott neo-Gothic building and Paul Rudolph’s 1951 Modernist building.

Outfitted with Rudolph-inspired banquettes, tile that mirrors the Brickcrete façade of the Rudolph building, and tables, benches and finishes made from 600-year-old longleaf heart pine reclaimed from the Elliott building, Bistro delivers a feast for the eyes as well. sarasotaartmuseum.org

BLUEPRINT

MOTE SCIENCE EDUCATION AQUARIUM A new building is coming to town, although at first glance it may actually look more like a towering ship. At 110,000 square feet, the Mote Science Education Aquarium at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota will be nearly twice as large as the existing Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium and serve as a hub for marine science education and outreach. Working closely with general contractors Willis A. Smith Construction, Inc. and Whiting-Turner, architecture firm TVS Design has conceived the building to evoke the surrounding landscape and draw eyes from nearby roadways. Inside the four-story aquarium, exhibits totaling more than one million gallons of water will feature sharks, sea turtles and manatees, among other aquatic species. Construction on the new building is slated to be complete by early 2023. mote.org

The new Moda Domus tabletop line includes a full collection of Fiorito ceramic ware, doublerimmed scalloped linens, Murano glassware and candlesticks.

When Lauren Santo Domingo founded the online luxury retailer Moda Operandi in 2010, it was clothes and shoes—not place mats and flatware—that got her pulse racing. Fast forward to today, and Santo Domingo, a passionate connoisseur of beautiful china, glassware and table linens, has come to embrace her decidedly more “domestic side.” The fashion executive recently debuted Moda Domus, a tabletop collection for Moda Operandi that reflects a love of relaxed yet elegant entertaining. Luxe caught up with the stylish entrepreneur sheltering at home with her family in Southampton.

What’s your new normal like these days? In the city, I used to love going out for coffee before heading to the office.

Now, I make my own coffee and sip it wandering in my garden, often in my slippers. I haven’t worn heels in nine months. I bought my first sweatsuits, one from Cotton Citizen and a cashmere one from Madeleine Thompson. Though I can’t help but think of what Karl Lagerfeld said about how wearing sweatpants was like giving up on life!

Ha! Although, it looks like you’ve found a creative outlet in flower arranging.

Completely. I’ve gotten really into growing

LUXESOURCE.COM

flowers and floristry. I used to measure my seasons through fashion, and now I’m marking time based on what flowers are coming in, whether it’s hellebores or lily of the valley or sweet peas. I’ve been buying antique vases and vessels from auction sites.

So, how did you develop your interest in tabletop? It actually started with the business. As Moda grew internationally, we began having special dinners for designers and top clients. We put a lot of effort into our tables and decor, and the response was amazing. The next day people would be asking me, “Where can I get this?” I also enjoyed the creativity. Designing the tables felt much more satisfying than simply putting on something to wear.

Describe the inspiration. I love heritage pieces that feel like something passed down or collected. I would say I’m very inspired by my mother in law, who is very elegant and entertains beautifully. She and her friends have incredible collections of porcelain and silver from a range of makers and countries.

Does that sentiment show up in the Fiorito ceramics? Yes, it’s a pattern I saw at auction based on an 18th-century

Italian design. We found the original manufacturers and asked them to remake the pattern for us in pieces our clients would use today. Each piece is handpainted in Emilia-Romagna.

Tell us about the Murano glassware.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Venice collecting vintage Murano glass. The wine glasses with the swirled stem are based on an antique set I own from the turn of the century. The original glasses are smaller, almost the size of cordial glasses; we’ve updated them to modern scale.

How do you envision the collection being used? Everybody has the gilt china and fabulous wine glasses they got as wedding gifts. But how often do they ever use them? This is much more casual— the way I like to entertain. It’s perfect for a lunch or casual dinner. I don’t use finger bowls or have butlers behind every chair, so why would I want an ornate and formal table setting?

Let’s say you’ve arranged your table in the country with Moda Domus settings.

What are your guests wearing? Hmmm.

I could see them wearing a great knit sweater, a perfectly tailored trouser and a small heel. Casual but sophisticated.

The perfect work life balance Imagine your next conference call with this as your backdrop. Where each and every day is filled with brilliant sunshine and glorious sunsets. If you can work from anywhere, why shouldn’t it be here? End your days the same way you start them. At home. Loving your life at Kalea Bay.

Alessandra Branca walks us through her Chicago atelier, where one room is covered in her new Audrey wallpaper in Cerise & Loden and the sofa is upholstered in Garda Mohair in Mushroom.

“I happen to love pattern play,” remarks the designer.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Get Alessandra Branca talking about color and the pace becomes waltz-like, her voice honeyed. As she walks me through the luscious palettes of Into the Woods, the second collection from her eponymous home brand, Casa Branca, I decide to abandon my interview prompts and just enjoy.

We begin in a sea of mossy green swatches, a colorway she describes as “a play on the classics but updated with pops of acid.” Next, we’re onto pairings of powder blue and chocolate brown.

“I love ying-yang, male-female coloring,” she exclaims. “We never see enough of this combination, and it’s so chic and wonderful!” And finally, we move into reds, a signature hue of the designer’s.

“It’s fun; it’s pop; it’s cool,” she muses, adding, “Red keeps you coming back.”

As with Branca’s first collection, the designs—which span fabric, wallpaper and a growing breadth of home furnishings and accessories—are meant to be mixed and matched, interwoven with future collections and shopped by color story. They’re also deeply influenced by travel. This round, the designer drew inspiration from a fantasy brief particularly well-suited to the times.

“I love Italy’s Sudtirol, and I’ve been wanting to do an old Tyrolean-style, A-frame mountain house in a fresh way,” she says. “The question of ‘What can I do to update that lifestyle?’ is really what this collection is about.”

Such pointed wanderlust resulted in patterns like Verdure Camo, a riff on the popular 17th-century hunting tapestries that Branca reimagined and spunked up by fusing traditional motifs with camouflage, and Audrey, a 19th-century archive print reimagined with bulbous blooms of exaggerated scale and named after Little Shop of Horrors’ leading character. Rounding out the collection, a medley of Branca takes on faux bois, tartan, stripes and peacock marble, as well as solids in teddy-like mohair, creamy cotton velvet and stalwart linen, create a cocooning ethos that does seem to tap into some primordial, back-to-thewoods version of luxury.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Casa Branca’s Into the Woods debut includes (left, from top) Audrey in Bolzano, Umbra in Bolzano and Giordano Camo performance fabric in Bolzano. The collection’s earthy palette, shown on the mood board above, was inspired by the northern Italian city of Bolzano.

Fortunately, the still repose of the past year didn’t hinder the designer—who describes a perfect Saturday as one spent amidst a stack of books—from developing the second installment of Casa Branca (available now) in the throes of the pandemic, not to mention, successfully launching the brand

last June. “I didn’t have to go far,” she says.

“I literally walked around my life. That’s where this all came from.”

Inspiration begetting inspiration, I begin researching the Italian part of Tyrol I knew little about before meeting Branca—and aching to redecorate.

Reflecting on my personal aesthetic begins with memories of my mom’s colorful outfits and red lipstick. I grew up in a world of color and pattern—French, African and Far East Asian influences. At home, there were art and sculptures, such as the pair of elegant felines that live in my living room today. There were textiles, like the chinoiserie print with golden threads on the formal living room sofa. I remember the effortless mix—not expensive or formal, but unique and just right. Growing up in New Orleans, you learn being different can be a badge of honor.

I am unabashedly a girly-girl. My mom used to dress me in ruffles, pinafores, lace socks and shiny patent leather shoes. With my Coke-bottle glasses, you can imagine it was quite a sight. After my time in college known as the “sweatpants era” and a start in finance I classify as the “how boring can this suit be” period, I began a return to my true innate spirit. Fashion and decor were the ways to express my creativity within the confines of my gray pinstripesuit world. Perhaps the white Phillip Lim dress with the 3D flowers, high-heel patent leather Mary Janes and black tights weren’t exactly office attire, but I didn’t let that stop me from strutting down the halls and turning a few heads.

My passion for the decorative arts and design shone through my home decor during that formative time. I had eight apartments in 15 years just to redecorate.

Crazy, but so much fun! I played—a Hershey’s chocolate dining room in my Midtown place, peacock blue-painted walls and ceiling in the Uptown bedroom, and even the perfect white in my highrise bachelorette pad. I spent years experimenting on myself—a big reason why I am unafraid to be bold in my work today.

Billy Ceglia in the sitting room of his client’s home in Armonk, New York.

Billy Ceglia True inherent style is an unerring and unapologetic point of view that can be translated into every aspect of an individual’s life. It informs everything the possessor does and has—from the way they answer the phone, welcome you into their home, dress, and of course, decorate their living spaces. In my own homes, I try to create a sense of ease and comfort to welcome guests—adopting small details like leaving the door unlocked and arranging empty hangers in the coat closet for their garments. I have a “help yourself ” attitude when it comes to refreshments or anything in my home.

If you need it, it’s yours for the taking.

Since I adhere to such a tight design lexicon of simple materials and shapes, and a relatively limited color palette, it has jokingly been said that my favorite color is “plain”—and I happily own that. While I appreciate the ornate and complex, my personal preference always circles back to a level of simplicity with a touch of the unexpected or tongue-in-cheek. It could be a few books with funny titles, such as Avery Monsen’s All My Friends Are Dead (a particular favorite), or a subtly subversive piece of art in an otherwise sober room.

These same details are also a part of my wardrobe. What appears to be a classic menswear pattern could be made up of thousands of cartoon mice, or the lining of a jacket could be painted with illustrations from Albert Lamorisse’s The Red Balloon, with a secret message under the collar to “follow me.” Similar to my streamlined fashion choices, my interiors are filled with simple and practical fabrics, tailored furniture and timeless details that reflect an enduring point of view. This leaves room for my personality, which is neither “plain” nor uncomplicated!

It never occurred to me that my box of a city condo would become a homey shrine to my collection of eccentric things.

A decade ago, I was in my early 20s, flailing in the aftermath of the recession and searching for a place to buy when my mom sold my childhood home. The panging feeling of my foundation being uprooted while simultaneously my family having no home of our own stuck with me. I think it’s why, despite my dreams of moving into an iconic San Francisco Victorian, I remain in my developer-built flat. As a result, a big part of how my style manifests is working within limitations.

I like testing and pushing boundaries to see how many colors and patterns a room can handle before it feels uncomfortable.

When I allowed myself to use my home as a canvas for experimentation, a new part of my creative brain unlocked. I found a 19th-century French sideboard to use as a bar and installed modern built-ins around it marrying my home’s modern lines with my love of antiquity. With decorative artist Caroline Lizarraga, I created a “conspicuous camouflage” mural on the walls with gilded brush lines. Then I had the idea for cartoonish tapestry-inspired blobby drapes and collaborated with artist Isa Beniston to bring funny dragons and lions to life in my windows.

A defining moment early in my career was when I read that one of the ottoman seats in a room designed by Ken Fulk on a magazine cover was sourced from Costco.

I thought, “His projects have budgets I can barely imagine, but he chose to leave that piece in!” It reaffirmed my principles: Keep what you love, work with things that don’t need replacement, put nothing on a pedestal and check your humility.

I’ll never forget the excitement when a bag of hand-me-downs from Wendy, a family friend, would appear on our kitchen table. On one occasion, the bag contained a powder pink tracksuit, the kind popular in the ’80s, and a far departure from the smocked Laura Ashley or appliqued Florence Eiseman dresses I normally donned for a special event. Ready for my best friend’s birthday party, I descended our staircase channeling my inner Wendy in the ensemble—my mousy brown hair newly coiffed with bangs and big glasses.

Cloaked in the confidence of looking and feeling great, in my mind, I had arrived.

Growing up in Lake Forest, Illinois, where architect David Adler was the patron saint and understated elegance reigned supreme, I was raised to appreciate the relaxed formality of my parents, my grandmother and their friends. While their homes were beautifully decorated, if you looked hard enough you would find an element of humor and whimsy. From miniature model rooms tucked within a library bookshelf and ladybug wallpaper adorning a formal powder room to miles of chintz covering windows and chairs, these houses reflected the confident ease of lives well lived and taught me to appreciate patina over polish.

Real style does not seek the approval of others. It is the creative expression of those who possess it and have the confidence and joie de vivre to pull it off. Looking at photos from that birthday party where I’m wearing the powder pink tracksuit, I confess, I now prefer the pretty dresses my friends wore, though I am grateful for the encouragement from my parents to explore my own tastes. It is more than OK to stand out in a crowd.

Verdant Variety WITH GROWTH AND HARMONY TOP OF MIND, RICH MOSSY HUES BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO KITCHEN AND BATH SPACES. W R I T T E N A N D P R O D U C E D BY K AT H R Y N G I V E N

Color packs a punch—especially in kitchens and baths, where a little fresh thinking goes a long way. Today’s au courant designs lean toward one lush hue: green. While associated with nature, the tone also evokes feelings of abundance, serenity, peace and security—all elements we could use right now (and always) in our homes. For designer Raili Clasen, a saturated forest-like shade served as a reference to the past when updating this kitchen in a historic California residence. “It’s an old-world color that seemed right at home in a new build,” says Clasen.

Raili Clasen chose Benjamin Moore’s Hunter Green for the cabinetry in this Coronado, California, kitchen she designed with architect Eric Olsen. Buster + Punch hardware and a Regulator faucet by Waterworks provide pretty brass accents while Community Manufacturing stools offer plush and stylish seating.

BATH + KITCHEN LIVING

PAST & PRESENT RAILI CLASEN

Coronado, the beautiful stretch of land off San Diego, has a storied history as both a resort town to the stars as well as an aviation and naval hub since the early 20 th century.

So, when Raili Clasen’s clients asked her to renovate a dilapidated 1927 Dutch Farmhouse on the island that had once belonged to a Navy sea captain, she knew she wanted the design to nod to the home’s traditional roots. railicadesign.com How did you decide on that shade of green for the kitchen cabinetry? As with any vintage home renovation, I feel I have a responsibility to not turn the house into something it isn’t. For me, that means updating the space without it being modern.

In terms of paint, I also wanted something somewhat unexpected and this green looked as though it could have been original to the residence—an ‘old’ color that worked wonderfully in the kitchen.

Talk to us about the other materials you incorporated. We brought in reclaimed wood for the ceiling, which added a richness to the room while the waterfall marble island provided a light and bright element. Brass accents including the hardware, faucet and backsplash are really a reference to nautical tools and instruments, but they look so lovely with the green cabinetry.

In the dining area, Oscar pendants by Roman and Williams suspend above a Nickey Kehoe table surrounded by both Sawkille Co. and Nickey Kehoe seating.

Where is this dining space located? The kitchen, dining room and living room are actually part of one large area. I still love the open floor plan! Whenever I can, I try to bring nature inside, and the large planters under the windows have brass details that tie everything together. Things need friends, so the greenery here also references the paint used in the kitchen.

There’s nothing I love more

than Carrara.

There is undoubtedly an arbiter of taste in every household. And she is ours.

Choosing only the finest marble for its finish and coolness, even on a hot day. It will endure.

Like our client relationships in the area’s most celebrated neighborhoods and communities.

NATURAL INSTINCT CAITLIN MURRAY

“The most important principle in design for me is creating a space that you feel good living in every day,” says Caitlin Murray of Black Lacquer Design. But sometimes that idea can be interpreted in very different ways. Take, for example, this Redondo Beach, California, home, where Murray’s husband-and-wife clients had varying desires: One favored Hollywood Regency style and pattern while the other preferred a clean, tonal aesthetic. Eventually they landed on a fun, playful vibe in the powder room space, which Murray transformed into a jewel box of color and charm. No doubt, a win-win! blacklacquerdesign.com Where did you start? Everything was designed around the wallpaper. The clients travel to China and have a business there, so it was important to include something that referenced this connection. The Timorous Beasties wallcovering has such pretty patterning and motifs, which felt like the right fit to the homeowners. I’m always pushing for color, so I was thrilled it worked out!

The blue-and-green palette with pops of red works so well here. I think of greens and blues as reading neutral, so I’m usually able to convince clients to go for these colors.

Besides, who doesn’t want to be surrounded by tones found in nature?

Speaking of color, how do approach it within your designs? I like to mentally establish a palette in my head, because I think that if you don’t stay within certain constraints, the scheme can feel all over the place and disconnected. Here, I used the wallpaper as a road map for the other elements in the bathroom, including the Vola red faucet.

Boutique property development firm Banda offers search, development and interior design under one roof.

THE

MAN ABOUT TOWN

There’s something universally captivating about a derelict building with a story to tell.

Such was the line of thought that sparked a then-23-year-old Edo Mapelli Mozzi to found Banda, his boutique, London development firm specializing in converting unconventional character properties into bespoke residences.

Fifteen years later, with projects sprinkled across the globe and a growing interior design wing (not to mention, a recent marriage to England’s Princess Beatrice of York), Mapelli Mozzi expounds on his distinct vision of residential luxury. bandaproperty.co.uk

In a name: Banda translates to “house” in Swahili. I’ve spent a lot of time in Lamu, Kenya, and source huge amounts of inspiration from the people and way of life there. I wrote my business plan from a “banda” in my early 20s. For me, the word conjures a feeling of simplicity. Design doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does have to stir emotions and promote well-being.

Holistic approach: When I launched Banda, there was a gap in the market for a high-quality search, development and design business.

Many developers take a cookie-cutter approach that isn’t true to life. Our aim was to offer something out of the ordinary with quality and experience at the core.

Buyers want: There is a definite shift away from prime postcodes and pure new-build schemes.

Our clients want personality through design, community and security. These elements work together to form a unique feeling of luxury.

Market update: Buyers are extremely serious right now; there’s no window shopping.

Likewise, sellers are motivated. Covid has put a lot into perspective and encouraged many to make lifestyle changes. One thing for certain is that properties with open outdoor spaces will be the ones that shine as we navigate this unprecedented time.

Formative influence: My mother worked in commercial real estate and used to drive me around to her job sites. I understood from an early age that how we live and work are intertwined, and how spaces can make us feel.

URBAN AFFAIR

With lifestyle flexibility top of mind, many are seeing the appeal of the pied-à-terre anew. Take the owners of this Manhattan apartment: a Connecticut couple with a passion for the arts. After finding the perfect part-time roost in a historic West Village carriage house studio, they tasked Brooklyn architect Sarah Jacoby with infusing function and romance. An immersive coat of Farrow & Ball’s Off-Black and a wall of custom built-ins (including a sleek compact kitchen) make the space “a fun and special retreat, not just a crash pad,” says Jacoby. “They met in and love New York. This is their ‘reverse country home.’ ” sarahjacobyarchitect.com

Old digs: NYC apartment. New digs: Colonial in the burbs. In her own words: We always knew we’d end up leaving the city, and when we stayed with my husband’s parents during the pandemic, we realized we genuinely liked the suburbs! When our lease came up, we pulled the trigger. Besides many coats of fresh paint, so far we’ve wallpapered and updated the kitchen. Eventually, we’d love to gut the bathrooms, but…one day at a time.

Old digs: 1930s bungalow. New digs: Larger 1930s bungalow. In his own words: I recently got married, and my home was a bit small for two. L.A.’s market, amazingly, was thriving during Covid, so we struck while the iron was hot. I love a California Spanish Revival and our new home has it all: a curved staircase, grand rooms and great natural light. It’s so different (and exciting!) to design with a partner. It will be custom, curated and fabulous.

Old digs: Downtown apartment. New digs: 700-square-foot cottage. In her own words: We always wanted to explore small-footprint living. Plus, we were tired of renting!

Renovating during a pandemic (we’ve redone the layout and landscaping) has been interesting, but given our desire for a simpler life, it only strengthened our confidence in creating intimate moments and outdoor living spaces that allow us to thrive as a family.

HAPPY HOUR

Quarantined in their home last spring, Chad Dorsey’s clients had a revelation. The crafts room of their Dallas home was languishing unused: Could Dorsey turn it into a getaway for the grown-ups? “The entire space was inspired by the idea of cocktails and wine,” the designer explains. Envisioning a bar with all the glamour of a swank night out on the town, he devised a moody, burgundy scheme, selecting Farrow & Ball’s Brinjal to lacquer the millwork.

Adding further sparkle, Dorsey designed a hammered brass and Calacatta viola marble bar illuminated by a crystal chandelier from a Parisian hotel. The result? An invigorating idyll when cabin fever sets in—one bound to delight guests when safe, as well as future buyers seeking the ultimate at-home escape. chaddorseydesign.com

SOUTH STREET PARTNERS / CHARLESTON, SC Mass influx: The migration to the southeast has outpaced every U.S. region since the 2010 Census, which we see accelerating due to lower cost of living and temperate climates. Top of mind: Private elevators, open-air staircases and indoor/outdoor fitness amenities that allow for social distancing.

ORIGIN STORY

In 1935, Charles and Emmie Adams left Detroit for the sleepy railroad town of Lake Alfred, Florida. There, they began building the largest citrus packing house of the time. Fast forward three generations and their grandson—Miami architect Max Strang—saw a unique opportunity for the family property: a wellness community.

“It’s definitely a reaction to nearby development,” says Strang, who alongside his siblings, intends to transform the 500 plus-acre parcel into a high-design agrihood. “Groves were dying to citrus blight and being sold off to lackluster sprawl. We felt like we had a critical mass to do something special with, otherwise grandma would come back to haunt us.”

Starting with converting their grandparents’ house into an events venue, plans were drawn for five distinct districts arranged around organic citrus groves and freshwater lakes. Units will range from apartments to estates, with styles from “modern agricultural” to “southern farmhouse.” There will be shopping, fine dining, a boutique inn and spa, a museum devoted to Florida citrus, a school, lakefront parks and community farms. Consistent with Strang’s portfolio, sustainability is paramount: Homes will offer solar-paneled roofs and geothermal heating, and rainwater will be harvested.

The underlying mission? Build community around a back-to-the-land mindset—something Strang sees a growing market for. “Nowadays we’re divorced from our food and for many, it’s work to physically reach nature. This idea of walking out the door and onto a nature path is creating a new kind of suburbia.” strang.design

ON LOCATION With its shimmering blue-green waters, cotton-candy sunsets, abundant wildlife and thriving social scene, Vero Beach is a place that beckons one to stay awhile ‌ perhaps forever. Hence, the nickname locals (many of whom began as visitors) have given it: Velcro Beach. As more people find it holds fast to their hearts each year, the city is also home to a blossoming design community, fostered by passionate, longtime vacationers and year-round residents alike, who have mastered both their craft and their understanding of place. Join them on the following pages, as they talk about the tropical haven they cherish, and the look and feel of the abodes beneath its swaying palms.

DWELLINGS IN PARADISE •T he architecture: “The ambience of our region makes it a perfect setting for homes of many styles, from British West Indies to Mediterranean, ranches to beach bungalows to modern designs,” Sorensen says.

DALE SORENSEN REAL ESTATE 772.532.0010 | matildesorensen.com |

•T he interiors: According to Sorensen, the use of light colors and natural materials like stone and wood bring warmth, while tropical color-drenched hues of surrounding bluegreen waters and bright flowering trees are often reflected in accessories.

Upon being asked to describe the cultural landscape of Vero Beach, Matilde Sorensen practically conjures a dreamlike state with her answer. “While separated from the hustle and bustle of South Florida, Vero Beach is blessed with the perfect climate for golfing, boating, fishing, hiking, biking and more.” As for where one might reside within this veritable utopia, Sorensen is the person to ask. A broker and owner of Dale Sorensen Real Estate, she points to a few neighborhoods the family-owned firm most frequently places clients in. “Riomar, The Moorings, John’s Island, Palm Island Plantation and Orchid Island are all quite beloved.” In each of these, and others throughout the area, Sorensen strives for more than stellar buying and selling. “We want to help foster these communities to serve as better places for our neighbors to live, work and raise families.”

Top: Surrounded by the beautiful estuary of the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean, the Vero Beach barrier island is an ideal location for waterfront living. Far left: The Vero Beach Museum of Art brings world-renowned exhibitions to the area. Left: Outdoor living is fundamental to the Vero Beach lifestyle.

Owing to its breathtaking tropical environment—blue skies, ample sunshine and swaying palms—Vero Beach is home to a culture of indooroutdoor living. “From an interior design standpoint, we often work to incorporate natural elements into the concept, which helps with the flow from inside to out,” Scanlon says.

“This can be through the use of colors and textures, or the specific pieces of furnishings we select, but it’s always a consideration in our projects.”

downtown shops and venues to understand why so many choose it for their getaway home locale … or a new, permanent place to “live where others vacation.” As a year-round resident of Winter Park, Florida, with a second residence in Vero, Christy Scanlon possesses a unique understanding of the place and its people—full- and part-timers alike. And as an award-winning interior designer and the owner and president of Masterpiece Design Group, much of her insight naturally focuses on aesthetics. “There is a strong coastal influence that can be found throughout Vero Beach, but we also experience a variety of other styles as well, ranging from contemporary to traditional,” she says. Luckily for her clients, Scanlon and her team are well-versed in it all.

No matter the stylistic parameters, they approach every project with the belief that a beautiful space should inspire new possibilities and a creative, collaborative, client-centric mindset.

Top: A custom billiards table and built-in bar, coupled with sophisticated details like stained beams and studded wallpaper, perfectly capture the homeowners’ lifestyle and desired look. Right: Functionality and style combine in this chic, monochromatic living space. The use of stacked stone on the feature wall and shiplap paired with painted beams on the ceiling brings dimension.

“We are guided by a strong passion for creativity and innovation, and use decades of market experience to maintain a deep commitment to client relationships,” Scanlon says.

“We are versatile and always thrilled to achieve a client’s dream.” With more than 34,000 square feet of studio and warehouse space, Scanlon and team truly offer unrivaled efficiency for projects of any size and scope.

•S teady + sustainable: Vero Beach has managed to retain its small-town charm even while it welcomes world-class amenities. This is largely thanks to a strong community that, as Lyles puts it, “rallies together to preserve the natural beauty of our area.” Smart planning has been key, with strategic minds ensuring careful growth.

rcl_florida

With 60 years of combined experience in the industry, and a passion for the various architectural vernaculars found throughout Vero Beach, the team at RCL has become a foremost home builder and remodeler in the area. At the helm is founder and president Robert C. Lyles, who, when asked to convey the key to his firm’s success in the region, points to philosophy and local perspective. “We approach every project with honesty and integrity,” he says. “We are transparent and collaborative with our clients in establishing timelines and budgets, and we also attend thoughtfully to site presence.” In Vero Beach, that means taking into account the showcasing of stunning views, how a home would withstand intense weather conditions and indoor-outdoor floor plans. “We like to anticipate and create an environment that is prepared for anything, while maintaining the client and design team’s vision.”

Top: Overlooking a golf course and waterfront, this gorgeous cottage-style design borrows its architectural antecedents from the Low Country. Far left: After building this originally, RCL was welcomed back years later for a renovation. Now, contemporary interiors complement the Anglo-Caribbean exterior architecture.

SMITH AND MOORE ARCHITECTS

“Our relationship with our clients is one of immersive collaboration from the initial introduction through the life of the project.”

rom new construction to historic renovations and restorations, Smith and Moore Architects begins each project with the goal of elevating—and paying homage to—the existing surroundings. “We take a holistic approach, understanding the variety of architectural traditions, contextual relationships, and the critical seamless integration of landscape and interior design,” Daniel Kahan, principal and partner, says. The firm, founded in 1984 and led by partners Harold Smith, Jonathan Moore, Peter Papadopoulos, and Kahan, brings to life residential and boutique commercial projects in the Palm Beach area and beyond, working closely with landscape and interior designers. “Much of the basis for our work comes from the study of both classical traditions in architecture and the interpretations of classical architecture by our more modern forebears,” Kahan adds. “We strive not to be swayed by the current trends, but by the timeless examples of taste and quality that have come before us.” Maintaining an open

dialogue with clients and integrating the latest technologies alongside sketches done by hand is vital to that process.

As the partners say, “Employing the highest-quality materials and levels of finesse can only be successful with a universally focused project team.”

What elements characterize your work?

We pride ourselves on being able to apply modern ideas and standards of living to classical traditions and frameworks, yielding timeless design that suits the distinct lifestyles of our clients.

How have you used social media and digital tools to advance business?

Social media, especially Kahan’s Instagram feed, has allowed us to make many national and international connections with clients and the design community. We also embrace technology in the development and visualization of designs, including computer modeling and three-dimensional printing.

What’s next for your firm?

We are branching out into luxury markets, including New York, California and Asia. We also are offering interior design services on select projects, taking a holistic approach to design.

PERRONE CONSTRUCTION “We build any style our client desires, but one characteristic of our work is timelessness in craftsmanship. Our homes look fresh 20 years after their completion.”

M

HOME BUILDERS + REMODELERS

RICKY PERRONE, PRESIDENT RICHARD PERRONE, CEO perroneconstruction.com 941.924.6900 perroneconstruction

any luminary businesses were first thrust into the limelight by an unusual ask—and the challenges they overcame to answer it. This is precisely what happened to Perrone Construction. The now-acclaimed Sarasota-based firm was launched onto the scene in 1980, when it completed a truly unique home for a famous sports agent. His only request? A chandelier reinforced for his party guests to swing from. Richard and Ricky Perrone, CEO and president, respectively, successfully pulled this off with the help of their team. They saw it in action, too, when the homeowner’s friends (pro athletes) tested it out at his housewarming event.

While not every bespoke request is quite so dramatic, the Perrone Construction team has continued to prove its dedication to big visions. In many cases, that means accommodating nature, too.

“We are one of maybe two companies in Sarasota that regularly builds waterfront custom homes in excess of 10,000 square feet,” Richard says. Indeed, after 40 years in the area, the company is well-established as the local waterfront construction expert. “From working with different municipalities and state authorities, to thoroughly understanding the specific materials, details and techniques such a locale demands, we really grasp the nuances of waterfront construction.”

ASK THE EXPERT Up to this point, what do you feel has been your greatest success?

As we celebrate 40 years, we’re more focused on how others have contributed to our success. We think, with gratitude, about the clients who have put their trust in us; the architects, structural engineers, interior designers and landscape architects who have collaborated with us; and the talented tradesmen and subcontractors who have been by our side throughout it all.

What’s next for the firm?

We are excited to announce our property maintenance division, which is called Conserva. This full-service company will manage the caretaking of every aspect of home, from keeping finishes preserved, to holiday decoration and grocery shopping.

B+G DESIGN “Our clients are an essential piece of the puzzle.

We extensively personalize everything.”

U

INTERIOR DESIGNERS

GISELLE LOOR SUGERMAN AND BRETT SUGERMAN, PRINCIPALS bandgdesign.com 954.929.6949 bandgdesign

pon being asked to describe their signature style, Giselle Loor Sugerman and Brett Sugerman, the husband-andwife duo behind B+G Design, introduce two concepts: logical luxury and multifunctional modern. “We are known for embodying a livable, warm and contemporary aesthetic,” they elaborate.

“Our projects are designed to cater to a variety of functions and necessities, while remaining high-end and tasteful.”

And a plethora of those projects can be associated with prestigious recognition.

Since founding their firm in 2006, the Sugermans have won awards from the likes of ASID, landed legacy projects like the creation of five themed units for

St. Regis Bal Harbour, and been featured in myriad publications and television programs. It leaves onlookers to wonder what might be achieved next, but the B+G team is already on that. “We move into our new office, steps from Miami Design District, this year,” Giselle says. “It will have a conceptual layout with a ‘design lab’ space, in addition to showcasing our custom product designs, and it will serve both our international and national clients.” And Brett shares what they envision even further into the future.

“A dream of ours is to work alongside a developer to create a community that represents the modern contemporary lifestyle: environmentally conscious, energy-efficient and minimalistic living.”

ASK THE EXPERT Name influences and inspirations that inform your work.

The late Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid has made an immense impact on the architectural designs of B+G. Because of her intricate use of geometric structuring, we have expanded our horizons when approaching new projects. Much of our architectural work within the homes we design is heavily influenced by Hadid.

Up to this point, what do you feel has been your greatest success?

Our residential work is the most fulfilling.

We build relationships with the families that hire us, and they trust us entirely to bring the home of their dreams to fruition. Once you’ve worked with B+G, you are considered a part of the family. We are a family-owned business that caters to families in search of their home.

hen Fanny Haim first founded her namesake firm, Fanny Haim & Associates, she did so with a few core principles in mind: creativity, a given; individuality and timelessness, her utmost aspirations; and innovation, informed by a desire to leave a meaningful imprint behind.

Today, Haim and her daughter, Michelle, partner in leading the interior design company, and that multifaceted philosophy still guides them. The connection to client does, too. “We are very committed to uniqueness and the bespoke,” Fanny shares. “Our process is collaborative and dynamic.” That said, Michelle elaborates on a few of the

characteristics that do often define the duo’s work. “We consider the concept of ambiguity, incorporating elements of surprise, and we enjoy items of diverse provenance that can create a silent dialogue in the space. Texture upon texture is present always, and color comes incidentally—never all at once.” They are also known for establishing memorable moments, defining the spirit of a space with unexpected features. Asked to further this conversation by discussing some of her favorite projects, Fanny says, “One of my dreams was to do a home in Paris, and I enjoyed every second,” and then looks ahead: “I would love to do something very ‘not Miami,’ like a ranch in Montana or a house in Aspen.”

ASK THE EXPERT Name influences and inspirations that inform your work.

There are many, but one trip to Japan truly launched us into a state of creative stimulation. The result is the fruition of a longtime dream: our first product collection. We have since released rugs for Stark, textiles for Holland & Sherry and furniture at Holly Hunt and Jean de Merry, all subtly informed by Japanese principles of design and, more specifically, an antique tsuba purchased in Kyoto.

How can clients ensure a painless design process?

Those who can articulate their needs, wants and aspirations are the genesis of the design process. Clients who are open-minded to new visions and solutions allow us to do our best work, and lastly, clients who make decisions make the process fluid and purposeful.

his year, Freestyle Interiors celebrates 40 years of success in the industry. It’s a milestone that, for owner Faith Fix, brings to mind many others. From building a team of 10 designers, to bringing life to the interiors of some of the first models in esteemed communities like Mediterra, Bonita Bay, Mangrove Bay, Mystique and Fiddler’s Creek, she has achieved more than she might have imagined when she first founded the firm in 1981. All the while, staying focused on aesthetic inclinations, and honoring those of the client, has remained a constant. “Design is passion,” she shares. “It is visual and emotive. We are continually viewing design in any form, through travel,

online inspiration and the discovery of new products. Of course, the client also heavily influences our work, via the expression of their wishes.” To that end, each homeowner is included in the entire process at Freestyle Interiors. “They are by our side at vendor showrooms and site visits, all of which helps us see what excites them,” Fix says. “We work collaboratively together to ensure we bring their vision to life with both the expected and the unexpected.” The personal nature of the endeavor is evident in the firm’s portfolio, which, although abundant with coastal looks due to Freestyle’s frequent waterfront projects, showcases a range of styles and plenty of nuance within them.

ASK THE EXPERT Do you have any special areas of focus?

We enjoy discovering new ways of imagining our clients’ homes and have been taking on a variety of projects outside of our immediate area. That said, lately we have been having a fabulous time remodeling large Mediterranean spaces into lighter, fresher interiors, without taking away the characteristics that make the homes unique.

What part has the digital age played in the success of your firm?

We are getting more requests for work from our social media presence this year, most likely because people are unable to travel to the area as much. We are thankful that our clients are becoming more comfortable with connecting remotely, and we are happy to be their eyes on the ground when they cannot be here.

W

hen it comes to residential interiors, designer Jessica Jaegger strives to infuse each room with art and meaningful treasures. “I always wanted to work in an environment where I could combine functionality and aesthetics,” she says. That dream became a reality in 2011, when Jaegger founded her namesake firm, Jaegger Interior Design, drawing on earlier experiences working for an art collector and influences from her native city, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“The Brazilian modernism movement is part of who I am and what I experienced in terms of design while living in my hometown,” Jaegger continues. With an eye for natural materials and timeless decor, Jaegger mixes modern furnishings with antique accents. And the beauty in that balance certainly seems to resonate. Jaegger’s first project—remodeling a condo in Williams Island, Florida, for a furniture collector— quickly elevated her reputation, leading to collaborations with major brands and galleries. “I was lucky enough to have, as

first clients, people who traveled the world and experienced art and design,” she adds. “They gave me the freedom to apply my design knowledge in their project and that gave me good exposure.” Now, Jaegger continues to put clients first, noting that: “Distilling precisely what they are looking for is what moves me.”

Up to this point, what do you feel has been your greatest success?

Exercising sustainable ideas in one of my recent projects, which not only turned out aesthetically amazing, but also combined new principles of eco-conscious design.

What project would you love to take on?

I’ve been dreaming of designing a farmhouse in the Hamptons, and a small boutique hotel in the Caribbean.

What is your next move?

I am thinking of starting an online interior accessories boutique with carefully curated handmade ceramics, dishes, and decor designed by creatives from all over the world.

he James Duncan team is a jack of all trades if ever there were one, but it’s also a master of all trades. After starting the business in the U.K. in 2000, founders James and Miriam Duncan moved to Miami in 2004. With representation in what is now Nisi B Home, they found greater footing and launched their furniture line in New York. Soon, it made its entrée into San Francisco, Denver, Atlanta, Toronto, Chicago, Las Vegas and Kansas City. In 2008, the Duncans pivoted, opening an interior design business to complement their products. Today, James Duncan even has an architecture and development arm, with eight homes

currently in progress, and a wallpaper company slated for retail launch this year. In the process of accomplishing each new endeavor, the Duncans and their team have managed to keep things authentic and personal by focusing on the client. “The interview at the beginning of each job is critical,” James says. “We find out what the client’s program is, how they currently use their spaces, what works, what is missing and what they long for.” Miriam adds, “This is our road map, from which we get to work on our vision of what will make their environments comfortable and, of course, chic.” Through it all, travel, art and fashion serve as inspirational guides for the duo.

ROBERT RIONDA INTERIORS

R

“Our process is all about the client. We visit showrooms and galleries, and I even take cues from their fashion style and travel mementos.”

obert Rionda is proof that when a business’ work is truly outstanding, word of mouth is all one needs to keep moving.

After being hired by a family of art collectors to design a vacation home in Key Biscayne in 2008, he was brought into five more of their projects and received nearly 20 referrals for their friends and family. Some years later, the interior designer and his team at Robert Rionda Interiors designed a 15,000square-foot Mediterranean masterpiece in Miami Beach. The architects, contractor and subcontractors on the project soon pulled them into an array of other endeavors. The list goes on, and includes a villa in Kuwait City and residences with up to 17,000 square feet of living space.

Throughout it all, Rionda’s inspiration has stemmed from many a source: the melting pot of cultures in South Florida and New York (two key areas of work for the firm), tropical climates, the clean lines and understated elegance of JeanMichel Frank, his clients’ art collections,

design fairs and, most of all, he says, “my clients and their backgrounds, visions and fantasies.” Indeed, Rionda’s portfolio is robust, and the range immense. “Some projects are very contemporary and others traditional.

We like to mix styles and periods, and art is central to most of our work.”

Up to this point, what do you feel has been your greatest success?

I spent 10 years working as an attorney before going into design, and I think many of the business and legal skills I acquired have complemented my creative side.

Sometimes the left brain comes in handy just as much as the right, and recognizing this has been a rewarding journey for me.

What project would you love to take on?

I would love to design a superyacht.

What’s next for the firm?

We have been designing and manufacturing furniture in collaboration with workrooms domestically and abroad. We don’t have an official line yet, but it’s a possibility.

STEVE MILLER, COO romanza.com 239.596.1613 romanzainteriordesign

hen one thinks of a one-stop design shop, Romanza Interior Design should come to mind.

The Naples-based firm, led by COO Steve Miller, calls itself a full-service, boutique studio, and this couldn’t be more accurate. Indoor and outdoor furnishings, decorative lighting, custom window treatments, artwork and sculptures, faux finishing, rugs, accessories, wallcoverings, floor plans, custom bedding, surface selection, custom built-ins, plumbing fixtures— the list of what Romanza’s awardwinning team handles for its clients quite literally goes on. The goal in such comprehensive management,

according to Miller, is to redefine the art of the bespoke. “Whether we are creating a brand-new dream home, or updating and customizing an existing residence, or even just adding finishing touches to a design they already love, Romanza delivers inspired results that are a true reflection of the homeowner’s personality, style and energy,” he says. “We want to serve as your ultimate partner on the path to a unique and upscale home that is completely suited to you.” And that they do, as is evident in their diverse portfolio of projects. Throughout it all, the team is guided by principles of quality, respect, commitment, integrity and teamwork.

ASK THE EXPERT What style is your firm most known for?

Coastal, contemporary, old-world, traditional and transitional all have a place in our repertoire, but we also generally incorporate furniture styles with clean and modern lines, a mix of finishes, including wood, glass, marble and metal, and textural and tactile elements that feel luxurious.

In what kinds of communities do you work?

We have taken on projects in a range of areas within Naples, from masterplanned communities like Mediterra— named Community of the Year in the Sand Dollar Awards an impressive 12 times—to luxury homesite locations in Port Royal and downtown.

THE WALL STUDIO

A

“It is when you open yourself to new things that creativity can flourish.”

fter studying architecture and interior design, and spending 12 years in the field, Blanca Wall decided to strike out on her own. She opened The Wall Studio in the heart of Wynwood in 2013, and almost immediately after, a pair of projects made their mark. “A client in Sweden hired me to work on two of their homes simultaneously,” Wall shares.

“One was a villa renovation overlooking the archipelago of the North Sea and the other a large attic-floor apartment in a stately 19th-century building in Stockholm.” The endeavors returned Wall, a native Swede, to her roots while enabling her to perfect the art of working from her studio in Miami.

And this start as a global presence introduced a theme of The Wall Studio’s history thus far, with many of its projects taking place outside of the U.S. Whether stateside or overseas, a chic urban apartment or sprawling weekend retreat, Wall has become known for a modern and timeless feel. “I achieve this through a holistic approach to design,” she says.

BLANCA WALL, PRINCIPAL wall-studio.com 786.228.8550 the_wall_studio

“Carefully curated, elegant layers of neutrals, thoughtfully selected materials and a strong sense of scale and proportion all describe what is really important to me.” Her clients themselves, too, top that list. “The best compliment is a repeat client, and I have been blessed with them locally and abroad.”

How do you include the client in the creative process?

The possibilities are endless and a truly custom experience is what we like to offer our clients.

Sometimes it’s overwhelming, which is why, come presentation day, I like to order lunch and make it an interactive and fun process.

What project would you love to take on?

Sustainability is very important to me. I want to pursue more projects that support current sustainable technologies but seek to incorporate a holistic approach and luxury aesthetics.

What part has the digital age played in the success of your firm?

A designer’s portfolio has taken a back seat to a well-curated Instagram feed. Often, clients will ask for your Instagram before anything else. Over the years, I’ve come to realize it is no longer enough to just know design; we must also know how best to invite an audience to be a part of it through social media.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS

ORLANDO COMAS, PRINCIPAL comasla.org 305.283.9382 License #LA-0001565

s he approaches his 50th year in landscape architecture, Orlando Comas reflects on the way it all began. “In the early 1970s, I was called to design the grounds of a large resort in South America,” he shares. “I ended up also creating a large-scale, 100-acre nursery for the project and subsequently supplied many others. It was a great experience and one that gave me a big career push and the confidence to step into it.” Since then, the Miami-based creative has produced an array of award-winning projects. An exploration of his portfolio showcases that for which Comas is known and beloved: inventive spatial choices, perfect planting

placements and gorgeous water features. When asked to reveal his greatest takeaways after building such a body of work, his answer is one that might surprise. “In as much as I can, I respond to the client’s needs and wishes. That is key. But also, professional ethics are very important; it is essential that one knows how to communicate effectively with fellow members of the design community, collaborating but also knowing where the line separates each discipline, so that everyone’s expertise shines.” The complementary nature of Comas’ landscapes—their tendency to frame the property’s structures in the most picturesque way—proves his practice of the concept.

ASK THE EXPERT Name influences and inspirations that inform your work.

Alex Hanazaki is outstanding. Also, while visiting the 2014 Prague Landscape Festival, I met Adam Gebrian, who is raising awareness about the benefits of quality public spaces. And I follow the work of James Burnett, Gustafson Guthrie Nichol, Michel Desvigne and West 8, too.

How do you see technology changing the design industry moving forward?

It has played an important role in our work, and it doesn’t stop growing.

I see technology as a never-ending helping hand to all design disciplines.

Up to this point, what do you feel has been your greatest success?

I must say I have been blessed. I’ve enjoyed wonderful clients and wonderful projects, and I can’t pin down one as the greatest success. All of the designs I’ve completed together make me what I am today: a very satisfied and fulfilled professional.

incent Filigenzi’s path to becoming the renowned landscape architect he is today was full of travels and passionate people. It began in childhood, with his mother being a creative designer and his father an environmental scientist.

“Given this, I find it natural that I design the environment,” he says. He goes on to detail one of the most influential experiences in his life: “At age 13, my father took me on a bicycle expedition 4,000 miles across the U.S., where I learned to embrace the diverse beauty of natural landscapes.”

Later, he would earn degrees in horticulture and landscape architecture at Syracuse University, before embarking on a journey of hands-on learning with top landscape architects on world-class projects, from an urban design office in New York City to a Silicon Valley firm creating corporate campuses and an international resort firm. It culminated in his experience with Raymond Jungles in Miami, where he was mentored on the Brazilian modern gardens and subtropical designs of Roberto Burle Marx and

T

his handsome coastal home isn’t its owners’ first residence in Old Naples. Their previous house in the area was one property away from the beach—which meant that their views of the Gulf ’s glittering waters were eventually blocked by a new build.

So enticing was the prospect of waking up each day to the sight of the sand and waves that the couple decided to find a beachfront property and start again. When they did, they put together a dream design team: architect John Cooney and the couple’s longtime designer Bruce Palmer Coon, who together created a residence that satisfies the owners’ desire for an elegant and comfortable coastal abode that embraces the site’s views in every possible way—and fits right into its beachy environs without falling into seaside design tropes. “[The owner] likes the West Indies-inspired, clean, tropical style,” Cooney says, “and he wanted me to get as many rooms on the view as possible.” The architect dreamed up a three-story concept with authentic detailing and materials: On the exterior, Cooney specified tabby shell stucco, mahogany windows and doors, and large overhangs with tongue-and-groove soffits and outrigger brackets and corbels. Even the gutters and downspouts—zinc-coated copper—align with the home’s distinctive style. Cooney prioritized the use of windows and sliding-glass doors; using as much glass as possible on the north and west elevations allows for ample views of the water and floods the interiors with natural light.

That sunlight illuminates exquisitely detailed interiors. The front door is at mezzanine level, splitting the difference between the exterior grade and the first habitable floor, and opens to a dramatic three-story-height entry. Coon designed a pair of handblown, Murano glass “sea bubble” chandeliers, one of which extends from the second-floor ceiling to the first floor, while the second fixture extends 31 feet through all three levels of the space. “We did countless drawings to ensure the space would be sufficient for what is, essentially, an art installation,” Coon says. “And we had to be sure the grandkids wouldn’t swing off of it,” he laughs.

The owners asked for main-floor living so they could reserve the second floor for those

grandchildren and their parents, as well as a plan that fosters entertaining. Among the ways the design team delivered: the glowing dining room with a gorgeous pecky cypress ceiling treatment.

“I’ve always loved pecky cypress, probably because it reminds me of Addison Mizner’s houses in Palm Beach. It’s very ‘old Florida,’ ” Coon says. To accommodate the HVAC grills and preserve the integrity of the ceiling’s design, Cooney worked with the mechanical engineer to create a hidden reveal—which appears as a shadow line in the ceiling details—behind which the ductwork resides. The room’s other elements, including gold-threaded grass cloth on the walls, sheer ombré curtains and a smoked-glass mirror, give the room an inviting feel.

This level of detail is omnipresent throughout.

“The wood-clad walls, the millwork, the columns— it required a very high level of craftsmanship,” says builder Dave Rogers. His team, led by project supervisor Andy Warner, oversaw the installation of the architectural paneling and millwork that Coon specified throughout the home. In the living room, for example, paneled walls make a handsome backdrop for the coquina-limestone fireplace, and a silk Phillip Jeffries wallcovering defines the ceiling’s coffers. Even the powder room exudes elegance: Venetian-plaster wallpaper panels with a polished nickel trim complement a single-slab marble floor.

The interior beauty is matched, of course, only by its site on the Gulf. Cooney designed expansive outdoor, west-facing living spaces on each level, which provide privacy from beach-goers and protection from the afternoon sun. Landscape architect Koby Kirwin nestled the pool below the dune so the owners “have unobstructed views of the water breaking on the shore,” he says, “and the pool is protected from the winter winds off the Gulf.” To landscape the property, he used a small plant palette inspired by the site’s coastal setback, including native sea grape and clusia, railroad vine and coastal grasses; a wall of Sylvester palms and hedging gives some privacy from the public beach access. “The owners invested in the view and in a home that embraces it,” he says. “We all just wanted to give them a place that they never want to leave.”

SMALL WONDERS A Sarasota-based artist conjures fanciful thrills in her colorful, cut-paper works.

Sarasota-based artist Philomena Marano wields an X-Acto knife (below) as a painter would a brush to create her layered, cut paper works. Most recently, she has drawn inspiration from the city’s circus roots to craft pieces like Skywalker (left).

A

rtist Philomena Marano will never forget those first spine-tingling moments on the famous Wonder Wheel Ferris wheel at Coney Island in New York City—that slow crank of gears and the swing of the passenger cars rising up, until the whole park reveals itself in a riot of color and sound. “I remember how the light fractured through the spokes,” she recalls of those sky-high jaunts. As a child growing up in Brooklyn, these thrill ride experiences became “another world we could disappear into for hours. It was true escapism.”

She brings this same Wonder Wheel perspective to her prismatic art, reimagining these spectacles in intricate and painstaking layers of cut paper. Part observation and part emotive expression, these works explore landscapes both magical and mundane: from amusement park attractions to roadside tire shops. Since moving to Sarasota in 2017, the city’s circus roots also have become central to her visual language, with recent pieces

featuring the death-defying feats of famed local circus family, the Nerveless Nocks.

Marano first developed her signature style as a studio assistant for artist Robert Indiana.

She refined her cut paper method while creating maquettes for the costumes and sets he designed for the 1976 opera, The Mother of Us All. The process felt intuitive for Marano, inspired by memories of her father working in the printing industry as a stripper—a role responsible for cutting and arranging film negatives to prepare printing plates. “I feel I inherited the ability to cut from him,” notes the artist, who quickly realized the technique’s artistic potential. The sharp, geometric dimensionality of cutting felt “so in tune with erect skylines and whirling rides.”

Each piece represents real places either sketched or photographed on site. She then translates these preliminary images into enlarged master tracings that serve as a foundation. Moving from background to foreground, she builds each work by individually cutting and layering shapes corresponding to the original tracing. “My practice is like painting with paper, and the

X-Acto knife is my implement,” she explains.

For the paper itself, the artist only uses Coloraid paper to create her signature Technicolor vibrancy. “These are like the colors you find on a sunny day walking on the beach or through Coney Island’s wild rides.”

Through referential, her final compositions also aim to refine the original space to convey the emotional sense of being there.

For example, in her piece Vortex of Doom depicting the Nerveless Nocks’ acrobatic showcase, she cuts away the supporting structure “because I want viewers to soar.

Feel the thrill and titillating fear that catches your breath.”

Infusing this glee into audiences drives the artist in all her works, which will next be on display at the Ringling College of Art and Design’s upcoming show “American Collage: 1930 to Present,” opening February 26. Marano most loves that moment when a viewer discovers that what first seems like a flat print from afar is actually a tangible, multidimensional image they can enter and explore. “That’s when the fun house door swings open, and they are on a thrill ride.”

Mix Masters Classic Southern style takes a relaxed approach in this waterfront Gulf Coast home.

Interior Design: Sandy Moore and Megan Newman, Accentrics Interiors

For the living room of this waterfront home designed by Sandy Moore and Megan Newman, a custom Barbara Flowers painting depicting the homeowners’ three children helps set the tone, both in color and ease. An arrangement of seating from Hickory Chair rests on a rug from Designer Carpets with a tiered hanging shade from Visual Comfort & Co. overhead.

T

here’s a piece of conventional wisdom that holds especially true for those on the quest for their dream home: “You’ll know it when you see it.” Never had that adage felt truer for a young couple than when they walked through the front door of a waterfront property on Florida’s Gulf Coast. “We pushed it open and could see directly to the water,” recalls the wife. “It’s like this sense of calm washed over us and we knew this was it.” Even more so, she says, because the home’s open and airy layout was ideal for their growing brood of three rambunctious boys and now playful golden retriever, Max. There was just one problem. While the Atlanta transplants leaned toward a classic Southern aesthetic, the home was a markedly Mediterraneanstyle property. With a total refresh in order, the wife enlisted interior designer Sandy Moore and designer Megan Newman along with PCDG Construction for expert help in infusing some traditional yet youthful charm into the outdated home.

First up: the color palette. Taking cues from the couple’s art collection as well as input from the design-savvy wife, Moore and Newman conceived a fresh scheme of neutrals with splashes of green and blue to help soften the home’s heavy Mediterranean flourishes. And to keep the palette from reading overly coastal, they introduced the pops of color in elegant applications—from a delicate tape trim on the dining room chairs to a leaf-print drapery adorning the back gallery’s arched windows and door.

The latter gracefully frames views to the backyard and water just beyond, thus making them a focal point of sorts from the front door.

While existing columns help lend the long gallery a sense of distinction, the same wasn’t the case for the adjoining living room and dining spaces flanking the home’s entrance. “The open layout was great, but the room felt so vast that we needed to create and define spaces to give the area purpose,” Moore says. So they formulated a new lighting plan overhead to help divide the space; a living room is centered around the existing cast-stone fireplace at one end, while a custom-scale dining table and chairs fill the opposite side. The trio of spaces is now primed for entertaining, flowing from cocktails and conversations in the living room to dinner in the dining area to poolside nightcaps in the backyard.

And while the rooms may sound formal in theory, they are anything but, notes Newman.

“It was very important to the wife that the home be family-friendly. They absolutely adore their boys and want them to feel comfortable in any space,” she says. “And the wife was willing to use the materials necessary to ensure that.” In the kitchen and breakfast nook, for example, they settled on sturdy vinyl seating for easy cleanups.

The combined areas underwent perhaps the home’s biggest transformations. The dated kitchen cabinetry was given new life with fresh coats of paint and the countertops were replaced with honed white marble featuring a striking waterfall effect. To maximize space, Newman and Moore suggested a banquette for a cozy setup that’s perfect for piling in and enjoying everything from family meals to game nights.

An adjoining space similarly received a top-tobottom makeover and was transformed into the children’s homework room. Bold blue cabinetry is ideal for storing away school and craft supplies while a sculptural light fixture and graphic wallpaper adorning the ceiling add a dose of whimsy. The desk chairs are ready to tackle any mess, thanks to the stain-resistant textiles that were used to cover them.

While the home’s new design very much channels the wife’s traditional roots through graceful lines and classically inspired prints, it feels equally warm and approachable, much like the hospitable family of five themselves. It’s a balance that can be credited not only to its breezy waterfront setting, but also to remnants of the house’s previous iteration. “We didn’t completely erase its original character,” explains Newman.

“Rather, we were excited to incorporate some of the Mediterranean details that we felt could be transitional.” Take the living room’s coffered ceiling. Its dark wood beams—a Mediterranean hallmark—were left untouched and juxtaposed with a richly colored Oushak rug underfoot.

The home’s exterior echoes a similar approach.

While its stucco was kept intact, updating it from a pale orange to a crisper, more classic white hue set the tone for the home’s casual-meetselegant aesthetic. “It was a fun challenge,” Moore says of the renovation. “We were able to create this blended style that’s unexpected and, most importantly, allows our clients to feel at home once again.”

Florida’s prized sinker cypress offers a stunning counterpoint in a glass house full of light and reflection.

An outdoor seating area off the living room boasts a fireplace wall clad in native Florida coral stone. The lounge chairs and coffee table by Gloster sit atop a woven rubber rug by Kettal, which designer Ellen Hanson complemented with accent pillows made with Perennials’ Paintbox in Blueberry.

S

arasota Bay and the barrier islands dotting its horizon play the starring role in a new house an Atlanta couple built when they finally decided to lay down roots after decades of annual visits to nearby Casey Key. “They wanted something that would capture all the beauty of their surroundings,” says designer Ellen Hanson. And even though they aren’t natural-born modernists, the husband adds, “We wanted to maximize the water views, and to get that much glass you have to have a contemporary look—but we really wanted to warm it up and soften it.”

Hanson, who had worked with the clients previously, enlisted architect James Merrell to execute the home’s design, builder Ron Marcotte to construct it, and landscape architect Chris LaGuardia to handle the exteriors. Merrell, working with project architects Steve Soule and Janara Garcia Soule, drew inspiration from the Sarasota Modern school of architecture, a midcentury style that blends cantilevered forms with glass planes around a warm wooden vernacular. “The movement brought a modern logic to those early wood-framed beach houses,” he explains. And, he notes, while wind codes now require structures to be concrete, “Our use of wood as exterior siding might recall the simpler wood-sided houses of that period.”

Marcotte sourced the species of wood that would ultimately come to be the home’s defining feature. He took the owners to a mill in Destin that harvests sinker cypress, ancient logs felled in Florida’s swamps hundreds of years ago. “Now it’s like gold—it’s perfectly preserved,” Marcotte says, pointing out that its color variations are the result of differing levels of oxidation, from the almostblack exterior of each log to its golden center.

It took two years for Marcotte’s carpenters to acquire enough of the prime cypress to fabricate the home’s siding, fences, walls, ceilings, doors, cabinetry and trim. “There’s not a single knot in the wood, either inside or out.”

As Hanson, working with senior designer Lisa Hargus, proceeded with the interior design, she chose finishes, furnishings and artwork that were as carefully crafted as the wood. Hanson turned to furniture maker Skylar Morgan, whose line

she carries in her Sarasota interiors shop, Pansy Bayou, to create custom pieces throughout. The designer accompanied the owners to Art Basel in Miami to source much of the artwork, including a monumental steel-and-stone dining table that anchors the home’s expansive main level. The resulting interiors evoke a resort-like feel, and, in the spirit of destination hotels, the clients wanted to incorporate elements of fantasy. The wife wanted a wine room where bottles are displayed against backlit glass panels, for example, while the husband wanted his office to channel his family’s historic cattle ranch in Oklahoma. “I love it when a client has a really strong passion for something, and deciding how it can be pulled together so it looks equally well designed and thought-out as the rest of the house,” Hanson remarks.

Merrell, working with the support of local architect-of-record Greg Hall, designed the home so every room could capture the shimmering southwestern light coming off the bay. The main front-to-back volume is intersected with a U-shaped wing that frames a courtyard planted with palm trees. “It’s a light well,” Merrell says.

Federal hurricane codes required the living areas to be at least 17 feet above ground, but instead of leaving the bottom level unfinished, Merrell created an “under story” of shaded outdoor rooms that are framed at one corner with an infinity pool.

LaGuardia and his project manager, Matthew Horvath, filled these outdoor spaces with plantings and hardscape that complement the home’s warm, modern look. “I took cues from the cypress wood and the geometry of the house and interpreted it in the landscape,” he says. He located a firepit far out into the yard so the owners and their guests could look back at the house when it’s illuminated at night. In front, he lined the driveway with live oaks, which will eventually form a shaded canopy overhead. “You don’t want to pull in the driveway and see the house right away,” LaGuardia says.

“You’ve got to delay it.”

All told, the house was four years in the making.

“It was painful at the time, but now we’re just smiling,” the husband says, noting it fulfills what they were after all along—that sweeping water view. “When you eat at the breakfast table,” the wife adds, “you just stare out at that bay and the ocean. It’s hypnotizing.”
