Calm tones, entertaining areas and a dynamic outdoor space give a Palm Beach townhome a Bahamian-English feel.

Using neon-colored yarn, a fiber artist creates threedimensional works that represent personal musings.

When a designer acquires a 1970s apartment, he restores its lively trove of period pieces.

A husband-and-wife team have plenty of tricks up their sleeves to help a modest Brickell condo reach its full potential.

LETTER EDITOR’S

Nuts & Bolts I recently purchased a bronze acorn charm necklace cast through the lost-wax technique. The fact that it is handcrafted by a delightful Florentine artist and designer, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at her studio was part of my attraction, but another reason that I was drawn to the piece was the acorn’s symbolic meaning: great and wondrous things can emerge from small and humble beginnings. That’s often the case in design and in other creative pursuits. You start with a seed, a kernel of an idea, that requires nurturing and attention to grow into something extraordinary. Many of you are embarking on a new design project, tinkering with an idea or building something from the get-go. I hope you embrace the fits-and-starts of the kickoff and savor the long journey into full potential.

BLUEPRINT

UNA RESIDENCES + THE STANDARD RESIDENCES, MIDTOWN MIAMI Yacht Haute. While tucked away in a waterfront enclave in South Brickell, the sweeping, ribbon-like curves of Una Residences (left) will be hard to miss.

World-renowned Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture drew structural and interior inspiration from iconic Italianmade yacht the Riva. Set for completion in 2023, the 47-story condominium tower flaunts elements used in classic yacht design, such as lacquered woods, exposed materials and stainless steel.

Residents are treated to units featuring custom Italian kitchen cabinetry, chef’s kitchens with Gaggenau appliances and granite countertops. The Una Penthouse Collection includes a mix of expansive corner units and triplex penthouses with private rooftop decks, each with a lap pool and a plunge pool, a summer kitchen, a sauna and a steam room. unaresidences.com

High Standards. Desire to live the wellness-centric lifestyle The Standard boutique hotels embody? Now you can, and only at The Standard Residences, Midtown Miami. The iconic hotel brand will break ground on its first residential building this year and open in mid-2023.

Crafted by Arquitectonica, the structure’s 228 units pay homage to the traditional pieds-à-terre of New York’s West Village and the Left Bank of Paris. Interiors by Urban Robot Associates will be tranquil in tone and texture, with finishes such as light wood plank tile flooring, gourmet kitchens with custom Italian cabinetry and oversize bathrooms with stone vanities and double-suite rain showers.

Like vacationing at a wellness resort, residents can indulge in a 60-foot pool, dine at a rooftop restaurant and stay fit with yoga and stretch studios. thestandardresidences.miami

A LA CARTE While the main character at the new Orno restaurant is award-winning Chef Niven Patel’s cuisine, the designed-to-dine space inside the THesis Hotel Miami in Coral Gables plays the supporting role.

Devised to mirror the chef’s lifestyle of sourcing the restaurant’s produce from his personal garden, Miami-based Saladino Design Studios fashioned the dining room with fern green-hued tile, a mosscolored ceiling, hanging walnut planters and brass accents, which call to the leafy vegetables and earthy tones of the soil found on Patel’s farm. The design team also thoughtfully created a built-in, fresh produce display as well as a wood-fire oven and open kitchen made of materials that will cure and age naturally, such as brick.

Curvy chairs, banquettes and geometric pendant lighting offer an architectural, midcentury modern feel. Guests should sneak away to The Library, a private dining room and lounge that showcases floorto-ceiling bookshelves that house a collection of classic titles— inspiration for a menu of cocktails based on famous literary figures. thesishotelmiami.com/taste/orno

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL AND RESIDENCES FORT LAUDERDALE

SCENE

DESIGN

Fort Lauderdale Beach continues to evolve its luxury accommodations with the opening of the new Four Seasons Hotel and Residences. Befitting of the area known as the “Yachting Capital of the World,” architect Kobi Karp crafted the building’s curved silhouette to bear a resemblance to a sleek luxury yacht.

Meanwhile, London-based Tara Bernerd & Partners married a glitzy Riviera lifestyle with the sophistication of midcentury modernist design in the public spaces, rooms and suites. Martin Brudnizki Design Studio imagined the expansive Ocean Terrace to suggest a glam yacht club touting a palette of blues, whites and woods.

Landscape designer Fernando Wong formed sculptural gardens from the hotel to the beachfront boulevard and dotted the Ocean Terrace with varietals of tropical palms and greenery. For guests who wish to extend their stay, the 22-story tower is also home to 42 private dwellings. fourseasons.com/fortlauderdale

TALKING SHOP REBEKAH WOODARD

What can customers expect from the new retail store?

We will have great gifts such as bedding, pillows, lamps, candles and books. I also have my studio there, where I can pull from our vast array of furniture, fabric samples, rugs, wallpapers and light fixtures.

How did you curate the store? Having visited the area for almost 20 years, I had a good idea of what people from Delray Beach and Gulf Stream needed. They do not want to travel far for gifts and items for their homes.

How does your design style translate to South Florida?

My warm Southern style lends way to clean-lined upholstery, textured wallpaper and contemporary art mixed with antique pieces sourced in Florida. I like to use many different textures to make houses feel warm and lived in. And I love lamps and lighting to set the mood in every home.

What’s on your radar? Bright, unexpected colors mixed with neutral fabrics and fabulous colorful wallpapers.

People are ready to live loud again after the pandemic.

COLLECTIONS

From sumptuous libraries and new entertaining essentials to cherished collections, Luxe explores the new meaning of home base and personal pursuits.

AS LIBRARIES CLIMB TO THE TOP OF CLIENTS’ WISH LISTS, DESIGNERS RESPOND WITH ARRESTING ROOMS FOR MORE THAN JUST READING. W R I T T E N BY M A I L E P I N G E L

Designers have long delighted in creating home libraries. In fact, legendary decorator Dorothy Draper even encouraged the idea among her bibliophile clientele. “Don’t hesitate to start a library, a collection of books on any subject that interests you is a joy to have!” remarked Draper. But today’s libraries serve as more than just a refuge for reading—they are spaces to gather with family and entertain guests. Ranging from studious to swank, libraries can project a

refined spirit or a joyful energy. Whether you prefer books, magazines or reading on your favorite device, a library provides “a different environment within the home,” explains designer Michael Aiduss.

“It’s about shutting the rest of the world off, collecting your thoughts and feeling a sense of relaxation.” But designer Joe Lucas warns playfully: be ready to shop as it always takes more books to fill a library than one anticipates!

“ We turned this Charlotte, North Carolina, living room into a snug library, but it’s really like a family room. Wood builtins and gold-flecked red wallpaper feel unexpected, while a hidden bar makes it a great place to have drinks with guests or simply enjoy the cozy atmosphere.”

“ Adding a little whimsy, like the velvet tête-à-tête in the middle of this Los Altos, California, library, makes the space feel fun, plus there’s a games table for the kids and a pair of wing chairs for the adults. It shifts the center of focus away from the kitchen to create a place where this family of readers can relax together.”

“ Give your library a more modern vibe with a pretty paint color—try picking a shade from a book spine and add pull-out shelves to create an extra work surface. To enliven the stone fireplace in an Agoura Hills, California, library, we used a scratch-resistant semi-gloss paint.”

“It’s all about creating an enveloping ambiance with comfortable places to sit, beautiful lighting and good acoustics to quiet any noise.

Books help to create an alluring atmosphere, but don’t forget to think about a ‘wow’ factor and scale, too—like the large antique globe we used in this Greenwich, Connecticut, library—as well as displaying collections that resonate with you.”

FOUR NEW TITLES TO UP THE INTRIGUE—AND BEAUTY— OF YOUR HOME LIBRARY

YSL Lexicon: An ABC of the Fashion, Life, and Inspirations of Yves Saint Laurent Edited by Martina Mondadori and Stephan Janson Its publication timed to commemorate Yves Saint Laurent’s first runway show 60 years ago, the new tome, edited by Cabana founder Martina Mondadori and designer Stephan Janson, a co-curator of the current pan-Paris exhibition, Yves Saint Laurent Aux Musées, explores the many facets of YSL’s life through a playful exploration of words. “Our book,” write Mondadori and Janson, “seeks to offer a series of evocations in the form of an alphabet, using the words he liked, those which had a particular meaning for him.” Taking on the people, places and concepts that inspired the designer are a host of high-profile contributors including Hamish Bowles on Haute Couture and Marian McEvoy on Jardin Majorelle. Illustrating the book are images from YSL’s archive, set against lavish textiles in truly iconic style. rizzoliusa.com

By Andrea Monath Schumacher “I poured through my portfolio and chose exclusive projects— it felt like the right time to show them,” says the designer of her debut book. Colorful inspiration abounds, along with Monath Schumacher’s helpful design tips: faux bois cut velvet elevates a beachy vibe, while a red front door encourages good luck and positive energy.

“I want readers to be inspired to live large at home, and this book shows them where, and how, to take risks.” gibbs-smith.com

Lotusland Forward by Marc Appleton Only an opera singer could envision a garden as theatrical as the famed Lotusland in Montecito, California, and Ganna Walska’s botanical masterpiece—featuring more than 3,400 plants— has been captivating visitors for 30 years. “Hers was obsessive botanical collecting,” writes architect Marc Appleton. Featuring photographs by Lisa Romerein, Lotusland is a verdant treat for anyone enchanted by gardens. rizzoliusa.com

Portugal: The Cookbook

By Leandro Carreira In chef Leandro Carreira’s new cookbook, the Londonbased chef pays homage to the culinary history of his native Portugal. Featuring some 550 recipes, Carreira shares dishes from across his homeland, including Alentejostyle gazpacho, Algarvian seafood dishes and macaroons from a 13th-century convent.

Recipes also include insights into traditional cookware, like the cataplana, a metal pot that originated in North Africa and is frequently used in Portuguese cooking. phaidon.com

SCHUMACHER DEBUTS OUT-OF-THE-BOX DINING ROOM CLASSICS IDEAL FOR MODERN LIVING. W R I T T E N B Y M A R I O LÓ P E Z- C O R D E R O

Call it a revival of the highest order: When Schumacher created its Editions furniture line, the firm set out to bring back the iconoclastic approach of a bygone time. “We wanted to craft furniture with up-and-coming designers from around the globe to recreate the period around the mid-20th-century— a time when people like Charles and Ray Eames were breaking the mold with original pieces that weren’t just derivatives of old forms,” says creative director Dara Caponigro. “We were looking to curate fresh, authentic furniture that spoke to a dining experience where people want to linger.”

Danish designer Charlotte Høncke took a hygge-centric approach, warming up a steel-framed chair with a cozy fabric back to create a cocoonlike atmosphere. “You feel like you’re snuggled into a nest,” says Caponigro.

Høncke also devised a table marrying Scandi practicality with inspired details like a soft, curved edge apron.

Salla Luhtasela and Wesley Walters, principals of the Helsinki-based firm Kaksikko, used wood to fashion pieces that combine urbanity with country house ease—a yin-yang match adaptable to many homes. Take their Mokki chair, available in a range of painted finishes, its upholstered seat and rail allow for endless customization. The duo’s reinterpretation of a farmhouse table

packs subtle upgrades into a deceptively simple design where every detail counts.

When Syrette Lew of Brooklyn-based Moving Mountains was tasked with crafting an upholstered piece, she went sexy. The designer conceived a curving dining chair with pieced panels that highlight its geometry while allowing for versatility in other spaces of the home.

“It would work equally well in the living room,” says Caponigro. Her table design, meanwhile, crafted from two pieces of

solid wood, embodies the gravity-defying proportions and poetry of sculpture.

What all the pieces have in common is a dedication to quality, ecologically sourced materials that are expertly crafted. There’s nothing remotely “mass” about them. “They’re not rolling off a factory floor somewhere,” Schumacher’s creative director notes. “Each piece will be numbered as an edition and made by hand in Italy.” Now that’s a revival worth waiting for. fschumacher.com

For Keeps DESIGNER MALLY SKOK REFLECTS ON THE TREASURED COLLECTION OF OYSTER PLATES AMASSED AT HER CAPE COD HOME.

Just down the road from our house overlooking Buzzards Bay in West Falmouth, Massachusetts, is an amazing antiques barn. It was there, 25 years ago, when I found three beautiful hand-painted oyster plates. I didn’t purposefully set out to start a collection, but I fell in love with them instantly, and the rest is history.

My mother taught me to love houses, and to layer them. Things don’t have to be terribly expensive to be special. If you love something, buy it and put it on a shelf—that’s sort of our family motto. I buy what appeals to me in the moment, and that’s how the process of collecting starts organically. If something is meaningful to you—if it speaks to your heart—it doesn’t matter what it is. That’s how you end up with an authentic collection.

Slowly but surely, my collection has grown over the years, and I’m running out of room to display it. Soon I’ll need to build an addition onto the house just for my oyster plates! When I arrive each summer, I spend several hours wandering from room to room, gazing upon these objects imbued with so many memories. Being back on the Cape marks the beginning of lazy days and good times spent with family and friends. That is what this house, and my collection, symbolizes to me.

I’ve been collecting for a quarter of a century—too many pieces to count!— but those first three plates I found in the antiques barn down the road are still my favorite. I have warned everyone in my family: They can break anything in this house, even my heart, but not my oyster plates.

The more comfortable a space is, the more it will be used. This is an adage touted by many a knowledgeable interior designer, but it isn’t always applied to the open air. That is, unless Lloyd Flanders is involved. “This is why we focus on durability meets luxuriousness,” says Jessie Flanders, the company’s vice president of marketing. “Inexpensive outdoor pieces will last a year or two, but high-end furniture can endure for decades, with minimal maintenance and a superior level of comfort.” And, the brand has collections to suit nearly any aesthetic, from contemporary to Hamptons chic and the Southern in feel. But when it comes to the design concept, Jessie has another bit of advice: “A cohesive indoor-outdoor flow can be achieved through consistency in

color palette, materials or furniture shapes. A drastic change will make the spaces seem divided, so it’s best to stick with a common theme.”

SECRET TO LONGEVITY: LLOYD LOOM “Our proprietary Lloyd Loom® wicker is a natural fiber wicker fabric with long-lasting, high-performance Durium polyester coating for outdoor durability and flexibility,” Jessie says. “The continuous weave avoids burrs and cracking and eliminates visible material ends. It won’t fade over time due to sun exposure or rain and is available in 20 custom finishes.” Not to mention, Lloyd Loom products can be completely repainted to alter the look later. “Lloyd Loom offerings are handcrafted to be heirloom pieces that are passed down for generations.”

BE BOLDLY BESPOKE

Top The Southport collection’s separate frame and loom panel finish options encourage design creativity. Here, it is featured in Hickory and Sea Glass for the dining area and Hickory and Ivory for the seating beyond the pool. Left This high-impact design from LDD Interiors pairs bold Lloyd Loom finishes (dining chairs in Denim and Terracotta, lounge chairs in Denim and sofa in Mink). Right New for 2022, the Solstice collection offers premium comfort in a sleek silhouette. Here, it is shown in the Ebony and French Beige finishes.

Asked to share the latest favorites, Jessie points to color and creativity. “Consumers have access to an endless supply of design inspiration, and it has resulted in a love of customization, mixing and matching, and unique fabrics and finishes,” she says. “Our bolder finishes, like Peacock, Terracotta and Stillwater, are soaring in popularity.”

SOLSTICE solstice

The Solstice collection features clean lines, a high back, and a sleek frame that enhances the European inspired design. The fully upholstered look, and contemporary comfort make for an outdoor collection that will be enjoyed for generations.

SOUTHPORT southport

The Southport collection features a sleek frame design, accented with a beveled extrusion that captures the classic loom panels. With the choice of color on both the frame and wicker insert one can customize to any outdoor space.

The creative multi-hyphenate first joined the illustrious studio in 1995 as its inaugural furniture artist-in-residence, where he continues to produce imaginative furnishings across mediums. Naggar draws inspiration from Roman and Greek antiquities, as is evidenced by the sled legs on his resin-fiberglass chair design.

Growing up in sunny Miami, designer Constanza Collarte walked through dozens of orange groves on her way to school each day— all part of the charm found in this once-sleepy city by the sea. Fast forward a few years, and a couple more high-rise buildings later, a booming metropolis was born. But Collarte always knew she would one day return to her roots. After spending years living in New York and abroad, a 1930s Mediterranean-style residence in Coconut Grove—complete with a breathtaking outdoor area—ultimately lured her back home again. collarte.co What an amazing oasis! We like to think of it as our secret garden.

Having a lush, enclosed outdoor space has made all the difference, especially recently! We spend all our time out here, whether we are having family over for dinner or hanging by the pool with our kids.

One of the home’s selling points was the Fernando Wong– designed landscaping, and while we have added a few plantings here and there, his vision has remained.

Constanza Collarte, founder of Collarte Interiors, sits outside her Coconut Grove abode near Miami. The table is set with a Zojora tablecloth and glasses, Penny Morrison plates, Laguiole flatware and flowers by Parrish Designs.

“ I love when materials are truly authentic. Much like ourselves, they should have a life and age over time.”

– C O N S TA N Z A C O L L A R T E

What about the interiors? As much as we live outdoors, our kitchen is the most heavily trafficked room, and we really tried to maximize the layout when the house was redesigned. It took a lot of planning, but the space is now open and filled with light from the doors leading out to the yard. The ‘back workings’ of the room, like the fridge, bar, pantry and storage, are also in one general area to allow for flow and functionality, which is key.

Talk to us about the materials. Different layers and textures in a kitchen can add a lot. We worked with an amazing millworker who wire-brushed the cabinetry for a subtle effect. Everything from the creamy countertops to the pale wood has a hint of lilac, which is a nice connecting thread. On a trip to Morocco, I fell in love with Zellige tile—its imperfections and the way light plays off the surface—so we used them for the bar backsplash.

BATH + KITCHEN LIVING

What’s your entertaining ethos? It’s all about indoor-outdoor living. We do a lot of entertaining alfresco—we even had my sister’s wedding out here! I’m a big collector, and I like to pick up little trinkets when I’m traveling, like salt cellars or textiles, to use on the table. The key to entertaining, for me, is continuously mixing and matching pieces. I must admit, we have a lot of the same people over, so I keep it fresh by using pieces in different ways, but the idea is to make it look effortless and easy.

Tell us about the table. The exterior really informs my choices.

Everything is green and lush outside, so it’s nice to throw this floral pink tablecloth down to play off the bright camelia flowers in bloom. My grandmother’s delicate embroidered napkins and bright glasses add a sweet note, but the Penny Morrison plates are really the highlight. I lived in London for a while and became quite obsessed with all those charming British prints and patterns!

The kitchen features cabinetry and millwork by Hector and Hector, Sub-Zero refrigeration and a Wolf range. Dornbracht faucets are paired with Amerisink basins, while tiles from clé decorate the bar backsplash.

Worlds Away

In Paul T. Liistro’s Westport, Connecticut, garden—which he has designed, installed and tended to over the past three decades—a metal gazebo provides an immersive late afternoon perch to enjoy the bucolic setting. “I like to sit and watch the sun go down between the trees,” he says. “The whole complexion of the garden changes.”

FAMILY AFFAIR “Chartreuse is my absolute favorite color,” effuses designer Samantha Liistro. A frequent staple across her interiors and personal wardrobe, it’s also the color of chamaecyparis trees that ring the Westport, Connecticut, garden, that her father, Paul T. Liistro, has lovingly cultivated over the past 35 years.

A healthcare executive, sailor and self-taught landscape designer, Paul has poured his insatiable curiosity for the natural

world into this most resplendent of gardens.

“When we purchased the property, I felt like Huckleberry Finn when he says he’s giving up on civilization and heading into the territory,” says Paul. Upon surveying the land—a virgin expanse of grass, forest and stream—he began sketching, and, like a tree taking root, the plot has since revealed itself in chapters.

An all-pink rose garden (replete with a plumbed stone wall and dryad fountain) was inspired by the Elizabeth Park Conservancy in Hartford, snow-white Magnolia trees nod to Boston’s Commonwealth Avenue and a tidy pea gravel pavilion dotted with ornamental fountains and a table for two perpetuates a treasured memory. “I lived in Paris, near the

Luxembourg Gardens, while studying abroad at Parsons,” shares Samantha. When Paul came to visit at the end of the term, she knew just where to take him. “We were so inspired by all the lovely pools and places to sit. On the flight home, he took out his notebook and we began to sketch our own version.”

Samantha fondly dubs the setting her “favorite place in the world,” and credits her father’s handiwork for much of her own approach to color and pattern. Recently, Paul and his wife Brenda hired their daughter to design a new first-floor addition housing a sumptuous primary bedroom suite. There, through an enormous picture window, Samantha has framed her father’s garden like a painting. samanthaliistro.com

CARVING A PATH Upon visiting his clients’ Woodside, California, property—a former equestrian farm with the beaten down dirt to prove it—landscape architect James Lord’s mission became clear.

First, nurse the land back to health. Second, establish a thriving meadow. Along the way, a dreamy patchwork of soft rush, little bluestem and silver grass began to materialize. To enjoy the bounty, Lord, alongside partners Roderick Wyllie and Geoff di Girolamo, envisioned a series of crushed gravel footpaths undulating through the meadow like a soft breeze.

Beyond providing the clients with their own parklike setting for daily strolls, the exuberant plant life has prompted the husband to embrace time-lapse photography, documenting such ephemera as the unfurling of cactus flowers. This luxuriant slowing, Lord believes, is imperative to mental health. “We blab on about the benefits of biophilia, but it’s all true! The alpha waves are going crazy when you’re out in nature,” he says. “This garden is curated with a spirit of delight and discovery, but there’s great calmness to it, too. It’s a world of its own.” sdisf.com

LUXESOURCE.COM

Highlights of the garden include meandering meadow paths (top), water features evocative of the property’s agricultural roots—like a trough-inspired reflecting pool (left)—and draught-tolerant cactuses and succulents (above).

YOUNG AT HEART

“We were trying to create a bit of magic within the landscape—to invite imagination and play,” shares landscape architect Ed Hollander of this Southampton, New York, property. Inspired by the clients’ vibrant brood of young children, Hollander and residential studio director Melissa Reavis drew plans for a multi-faceted, experiential garden where sculptures seemingly dart amongst allées of pleached linden trees, a pollinator meadow teaming with joe-pye weed draws butterflies, and a life-sized chessboard offers entertainment, function and a focal point. A custom creation of sandstone and granite squares (in collaboration with the home’s interior designer Kelly Behun), the board easily morphs into a stylish party pavilion—the perfect springboard for a Gatsby-esque stroll through the fantasia beyond. “Everything is meant to be uncovered along a walk through this garden,” says Reavis. “Each time you turn a corner, a surprise is revealed.” hollanderdesign.com

OUTDOOR LIVING For the past few years, more than perhaps any other time in history, the definition of outdoor living has been repeatedly edited and reimagined. The possibilities abound, the ideas grow further outside the box and style evolves to encompass the demands of the exterior environment. The results are spaces as elegant and enjoyable as those on the interior, but firmly planted in the realm of nature’s splendor. Guests are surrounded by breathtaking vistas as they sip and savor, children experience the beauty of wildlife in between math problems and acts of relaxation are made better by the warmth of the sun or sparkle of the stars. Read on to explore the fresh concepts and inventive thinking design pros are bringing to the open air.

Enjoyable outdoor living depends greatly on its connection to the indoors, and that is precisely what American Screen Solutions aims to perfect for its clients. “Customized retractable screens allow you to connect the two zones in a sophisticated and practical way,” says Jorge Paulino, president of American Screen Solutions. Phantom Screens, a brand the leading North American purveyor is particularly fond of, offers options that appear and disappear at the touch of a button, so your view is never compromised. A challenge Paulino’s firm has met is creating a temperaturecontrolled room with insect protection that can both open to the fresh air of Florida winter and can also be closed during the summer. “To successfully solve this request, we have installed double roll screens—one motorized retractable screen for insect protection and another motorized retractable clear vinyl component that acts as a retractable window wall. The result is one room that can have the best of both worlds,” says Paulino.

Top Phantom motorized screens were installed to reduce solar heat gain and provide shading. Right In this home, motorized retractable screens appear at the touch of a button but disappear when they aren’t needed. Far right Let the fresh air in and keep the bugs out, with retractable screen doors.

Your screens are indeed intelligent—in more ways than one. Homeowners are interested in outdoor living solutions that enhance their lifestyles, but also in energy efficiency. Motorized screens take care of both concerns.

“Not only do they create the perfect transition between the indoor and outdoor areas of a home, but they can also reduce exposure to UV rays with solar mesh options that help control temperature and reduce energy costs,” Paulino says. “In addition, motorized retractable screens are compatible with most smart hub device systems, so you’re always in control. You can schedule and automate the times of the day when you want your screens to retract and even do it from the convenience of your smartphone. Sensors in our motorization solutions can also be programmed according to weather conditions, temperature changes and more.”

American Screen Solutions is your ultimate destination for custom-made and professionally installed Phantom retractable screens for doors, windows and outdoor spaces, backed by the industry-leading limited lifetime warranty.

On top of their practical and technical benefits, Bandalux shades boast the ability to visually suit any architectural or interior design project. The company offers a wide variety of fabrics, allowing one to create any combination imaginable. And Bandalux has options that meet today’s increased interest in sustainable and green solutions when it comes to outdoor spaces, too. The team is working to make a better world through the solar control solutions they design, manufacture and market. “We have a range of ecological fabrics, without PVC, without VOCs, and manufactured with recycled plastic from bottles and organic components,” García “It is in our nature to innovate, and sustainability is at the core of our DNA since we started to lead this industry almost 40 years ago.”

Indoors and out, homeowners want systems that offer both performance and style, and solar control solutions are no exception. “People are looking for products that meet their needs on a practical level and that exceed their aesthetic expectations,” says Eduardo García, USA general manager of Bandalux, whose products are designed in Europe but proudly made in the U.S. But once in use, functionality becomes particularly relevant in outdoor mechanisms. They must be robust enough to withstand the weather, operate smoothly and maintain their appearance over time.

García elaborates, “Any outdoor element must be designed and manufactured with a long-lasting vision. Maintenance should be minimal and easy to perform. For an outdoor roller shade, for example, it is necessary to offer the possibility of carrying out maintenance tasks without having to uninstall the structure.”

Versatility is the new goal of outdoor environments—an all-encompassing space for fun, quiet, work, recreation and activity. A vital component to achieving this is extending the home’s interiors outward. “The only difference between your interiors and exteriors is the walls and ceiling. All of the same functionalities can be achieved in both,” shares Michael Fine, vice president of outdoor furnishings purveyor Judith Norman. As homeowners look to their outdoors as an extension of their interiors, unique furniture destinations like Judith Norman are equipped to meet the demand for high-end outdoor pieces with staying power. The myriad of choices at Judith Norman is seemingly immeasurable. “Judith Norman Outdoor Living carries 100 of the top brands in the industry. Our goal is to align with companies that build high-quality products that can withstand South Florida’s environment,” Fine says.

In the realm of outdoor living, no truer words have been spoken: “Anyone can attempt to build an outdoor living space from a pretty picture, but a landscape architect takes the time to work out each space individually, which reduces the margin of error when building.” This sage statement comes from expert Amy Wieland-Carlson, COO of KWD Landscape Architecture, a firm known for its best-in-class professionals.

Under the auspices of Krent Wieland, the firm’s founder, KWD’s team has been meticulously mentored—executing forward-thinking designs that are visual, engaging and sustainable. “Our landscape architects are specifically trained to work with other design professionals to create a seamless transition between the interior and exterior spaces. Each design is uniquely created, and there are many issues worked out during the design process,” Wieland-Carlson explains.

At once relaxed and elegant, a Palm Beach townhome is fit for comfortable entertaining.

Breezy Formality

Interior Design: Danielle Rollins, Danielle Rollins Interiors

Flanked by palm trees, ficus and jasmine, Henry the goldendoodle welcomes visitors to the Palm Beach townhome of interior designer Danielle Rollins and fiancé Tom D’Agostino Jr. Near the entrance are garden stools, calamondin orange trees in chinoiserie-style planters from Devonshire of Palm Beach and an antique urn filled with gardenias.

T

om D’Agostino Jr. never paid much attention to the Regency-style townhome he frequently passed in Palm Beach. But years later, when he and interior designer Danielle Rollins toured the property as the couple’s prospective new residence, she pointed out loads of promise: the allée of palms leading to the entrance, the grand staircase sweeping up to an oculus skylight, the private swimming pool in the back courtyard. “It had such good bones,” Rollins recalls. “I told Tom, ‘This is it.’ ” The pair soon moved from their condo to the townhome, where they spent the next five months putting their own stamp on the place.

“When you’re doing a project, the house tells you what to do,” Rollins says. In this case, the townhome’s classic lines, well-proportioned rooms and easy flow called for “barefoot elegance,” she adds. “There’s a formality to it, but it’s a relaxed formality.” Tom offered a particularly descriptive take: “I suggested the style be somewhere between Peter O’Toole and Ernest Hemingway—a British Colonial feel,” he says. So, Rollins conceptualized a design that blends color with subtle patterns for a calm and sophisticated style.

The couple first got to work honing the highly polished marble floors, replacing pocket doors with a more classic design and relocating the pillars that dominated the dining room to just outside the main entrance for a grander welcome. The modest kitchen was upgraded with a pantry and hidden storage to maximize every inch. “Some people come with baggage; I come with china, silver, crystal and linen,” Rollins quips. Overflow mementos are displayed in the dining room’s massive antique breakfront, a sentimental item from her previous Atlanta home. “I need to have a little bit of my past with me—a few pieces I know,” the interior designer says. “It’s a sense of comfort.”

More work occurred in the television room, an angled space outfitted with built-ins. “We cut the millwork and moved it back, changing the whole look of the room to be half-octagonal,” Tom explains. They installed a cozy banquette, repurposed their former dining table into a coffee table and painted the room a moody shade of navy.

“I always say: Paint the smallest room in your house the darkest color you can stand,” Rollins shares. “It visually expands the space.”

Throughout the home, gracious windows welcome radiant outdoor hues and natural light.

To counter the vibrancy, Rollins embraced calm interior tones of chocolate brown, white and pale blue, with touches of black, beige and coral. “That restful palette gave me the chance to let pieces with a lot of heft pop,” she says. Inspired by the enormous mahogany front doors, for instance, the interior designer selected furnishings of the same wood, including the living area’s modern coffee table and antique English consoles. Her Queen Anne-style mirrors and lacquered Ming-style tables, meanwhile, play with the contemporaryleaning seating Tom selected. “This was the perfect way to take antique pieces and make them fit with a more modern feel,” Rollins says. The deep white skirted sofa and upholstered slipper chairs mirror guests at a dinner party—“You need a mix of skirt and legs,” she muses—while the chairs’ block print and a sisal rug nod to a Bahamian feel.

The duo settled on subdued off-white walls for the main bedroom upstairs, home to a grasscloth bed with a nailhead detail and vintage night tables. “She’s gotten me to move off of the monotones to a more colorful palette, and I think I’ve gotten her to somewhere a little more centered,” Tom says, making the interior designer laugh. “It’s a good balance.”

Outside, Rollins added a new portico to the front exterior, installed a fountain across from the front door and planted new greenery, including blooming white tropical flowers, star jasmine vines and green island ficus hedges. “When you live in Florida, your exterior is as important as your interior,” she says. The rear courtyard offers even more space to entertain, including oversize settees the interior designer arranged around the pool and a breezy cabana for alfresco dining.

Simultaneously traditional and easygoing, the townhome is an amalgamation of the couple.

It’s become a sentimental spot as well: In the courtyard during their New Year’s Eve party, Tom surprised Rollins with a marriage proposal.

“I think the test of a house is that the more you’re in it, the more you like it—and we both feel that,” she says. “It’s home for us now.”

STRANDS OF LIFE An artist shares her perspectives and musings through the pliable poetry of yarn.

t’s a magical moment when artists discover their chosen medium, imagination igniting in that split second when fingers first sink into clay or brush paint across a canvas. For Delray Beach artist Michelle Drummond, something more unexpected seized her creative urge: yarn.

With it, she weaves intricate sculptures ranging from surreal abstractions to playful renderings of architecture and human bodies.

“I don’t think I chose fiber. Fiber chose me,” Drummond laughs. Her early experiments began in a college art class she took as refuge from her major in math. Tasked with creating a linear piece, she recalled street artisans from her childhood in Jamaica and the decorative crafts they made from looping yarn around nails hammered into a board. She adapted their techniques, eventually forgoing nails and contouring the yarn with glue to form threedimensional shapes, and soon found her calling.

While Drummond pursued a successful corporate career, art remained a constant outlet, blossoming into her full-time practice in 2018.

At her Arts Warehouse studio, she meticulously glues her compositions directly onto canvases and wood panels. As she discovered, the softness of the fiber offers expressive pliancy. “I loved the challenge of transforming it into a solid, structural form,” the artist says. For her threedimensional works, Drummond favors sturdy cotton to build sound structure and lighter weighted yarn to add bulk and texture. “It’s about knowing what weight and feel will work for the look you want,” she explains.

Under layers of whimsy, Drummond’s work explores current events, optimism and her dual experiences as an immigrant. Her “Risk Taker” series, for instance, depicts doors of opportunity and self-empowerment waiting to be pried open.

The neon-colored hues she uses, meanwhile, capture tropical nostalgia for her homeland.

“Those colors lift me up,” the artist says. “I want others to be impacted in a similar way.”

Recently, Drummond was chosen as the first Black woman of Jamaican heritage to create a piece for the Mandel Public Library in West Palm Beach. Being revealed in March, The Metamorphosis is a 7-foot-tall yarn tree covered in butterfly figurines. “The butterflies represent hopefulness and the unlimited possibilities that emerge through an organic transformation from one form to another,” she explains—much like the medium that changed her life.

Time Capsule A designer reinvigorates his 1970s apartment while honoring its stylish past.

Hand-painted plates by Sean Mellyn offer a colorful moment in the entryway of the 1970s Palm Beach apartment of designer Scott Sanders and his husband, Peter Wilson. Acquired with the unit, the vintage credenza holds a lamp from Florida Modern, a brass fish figurine from Show Pony and cannisters by More Fire Glass Studio, which pop against original whitewashed pecky cypress walls and terra-cotta tile flooring.

harmed by whitewashed pecky cypress walls and earthy terra-cotta floors, designer Scott Sanders felt an instant connection with an apartment tucked inside The Reef in Palm Beach.

“It was dark, and the interiors hadn’t been touched since the original owner purchased it in the 1970s, but when we walked in, it just spoke to me,” he recalls. “We bought it the next day.” Sanders and his husband, Peter Wilson, were enamored with the storied residential building. The stark-white, postmodern stunner on South Ocean Boulevard had been designated a historic landmark, and the frozen-in-time unit offered them the chance to embrace the building’s rich architecture.

“I didn’t want to rip it all out,” the designer says of the interior, “but wished to retain some integrity that matched the exterior of the building.”

Part of what drew the couple to this residence were its existing furnishings—which, in a kismet moment, were offered to them at closing. They immediately agreed and, like a treasure hunt through a time machine, Sanders discovered covet-worthy pieces around the unit and inside the poolside cabana that would ultimately be updated and used to meld the past with the present. “The previous owner had fabulous taste and hired a designer in the ’70s who had a lot of style, and they created this apartment,” he says.

“I’m very fortunate to pick up where they left off.”

Desiring a separate identity from his New York home, the designer pursued an overall white palette recalling the building’s façade. He reupholstered a 10-piece midcentury sectional in white linen and scattered the set throughout the living area, primary bedroom and cabana. “I was inspired by Ralph Lauren’s apartment designed

by Angelo Donghia, with white slipper sofas and chairs that I saw in a magazine in the ’80s,” explains Sanders, who helped launch and lead the interior design department at Ralph Lauren before striking out on his own. “It’s such a clean look.”

Other significant finds included 50-year-old draperies made of oatmeal-hued Belgian linen

with a white open-weave pattern that now—after a proper cleaning—regally hang in the living area and bedrooms. But it was the gem hiding in a corner that’s the showstopper of the dining area: a brass floor lamp by Tommaso Barbi fashioned in an oversize leaf form. Because the piece had oxidized over time, Sanders replated it. “It’s just incredible,” gushes the designer, who also reinvigorated a brass orb chandelier that punctuates the space and a chrome Curtis Jeré Skyscraper lamp that rests in the living area next to a reimagined cane sofa. “I was so happy to be able to bring all these beautiful pieces back to life.”

Sanders seamlessly blended the midcentury furnishings with vintage pieces he meticulously sourced from Antique Row. “I didn’t just go to one showroom and buy everything,” he explains.

“I started collecting unusual things on Dixie Highway, and it all works together.” Rattan pretzel chairs the designer acquired are now swathed in a white terry cloth similar to the living area sectional, and small brass accents positioned throughout the space connect the brass chandelier and leaf floor lamp.

To further create an airy, light ambience, Sanders swapped the living area’s heavy Oriental rugs for an expansive jute and replaced wall-towall brown shag carpet in the bedrooms with seagrass. New glass impact doors also contribute, flooding spaces with natural light. To break up the white backdrop, he added pops of bright colors, including orange living area pillows that mingle with the terra-cotta flooring and the primary bedroom’s turquoise lamps and settee.

Bold artwork further accomplishes this color goal—like the six Sol LeWitt pieces that hang in the living area and primary bedroom. “It’s a collection of pieces Peter and I have amassed over the years,” the designer notes, pointing to the hand-painted plates above the entry’s credenza that were a wedding gift from the artist who created them.

A mix of old and new, the residence is now uniquely them. “I call it ‘Palm Beach eclectic,’ ” Sanders says. “It’s a layered, happy place. It doesn’t look like a cookie-cutter apartment, because it has so much history and a lot of depth.”

After undergoing an innovative renovation, a Brickell condo makes the most of every inch.

SMALL BUT MIGHTY

enovating a small space takes precision, imagination and a little bit of magic.

Fortunately, when it came to remodeling a modest 1970s Brickell condo, interior designer Sandra Diaz-Velasco and her husband, general contractor Jose Andres Velasco, had plenty of tricks up their sleeves. The owners wanted a super-functional home with more living space, two full bathrooms, a den and a bigger walk-in closet.

“We love to travel, and we wanted a residence that would reflect our personality and everything we have found and collected through the years,” the wife says. “But most of all, we wanted comfort and to have a place we could manage from afar.”

Having that ease, solace and space would require a gut renovation. Diaz-Velasco and Velasco began by clearing out the entire apartment and accounting for every inch in the one-bedroom condo. “It was a very careful and detailed design phase,” the interior designer says. Only one side of the unit featured windows, so they also needed to find ways to bring natural light into the rest of the home. Curving walls helped solve the challenge, allowing the design team to optimize the square footage and soften spatial transitions. “The organic forms gave us excellent natural and artificial light reflection,” the general contractor says. “The entire area looks softer.” They also reclaimed space from the balcony and created a corner view in the primary bedroom, which now looks out onto the pool and Biscayne Bay. The waterway served as inspiration for the primary bathroom, an interior space that lacks windows. The duo installed a wavy soffit to conceal the plumbing systems, wrapped the room in a blue ombre waterproof wallpaper and added linear LED lighting to mimic a skylight. “We also used mirrors to make the room feel deeper than it really is,” Velasco says. “You never get the sensation you are in the darkest part of the unit.”

In the second bathroom, Diaz-Velasco used black and white to fool the eye, covering the shower area in an ebony hue. “It feels like a powder room when you see it at first, and you don’t realize there’s a huge shower right next to it,” she says.

The pair had full creative freedom on the project, which allowed them think outside the

box to give each area multipurpose elements in clever ways. Most of the kitchen is concealed behind Italian cabinetry, while other items are hidden in plain sight. For instance, the dining table is also the cooktop—and that eyecatching chandelier? It’s actually the hood. “The kitchen is the perfect combination of form and function,” Velasco observes. “The kitchen works as a kitchen—and works in a different way when everything is closed.”

Secret conveniences abound, from the combination den-laundry room tucked behind the kitchen to the hidden bar and coffee station in the primary bedroom. Bulky mechanics were replaced with state-of-the-art lighting, sound and home automation systems seamlessly integrated into the architecture. “A huge part of the work was perfectly coordinating what the eye doesn’t see,” Diaz-Velasco explains.

Sustainability was as important as functionality, and the couple utilized recycled materials throughout the design, including the wood flooring and the primary bedroom’s threedimensional wallcovering.

The interior designer complemented the architectural elements with versatile, eclectic furnishings, mixing Latin American and European styles as a nod to the owners’ jetsetting lifestyle. A 1960s Jørgen Høvelskov Harp chair functions as a sculpture and a comfortable perch, while a twisted bench can relocate from the conversation spot in the living area to extra seating at the dining table. “It was important that whatever we had was beautiful but also had a use,” Diaz-Velasco says.

Natural accents and an abundance of plants balance the sleek and sculptural features, bringing the outdoors in. Greenery is incorporated everywhere, from adorning a living wall to abutting linear LED light fixtures. Diaz-Velasco also used warm woods and soft textures throughout the unit, while touches of vivid blue in the kitchen’s cabinetry and the primary bathroom connect the bay to even the farthest corners of the apartment.

All of the innovative sleights of hand continue to delight the owners, who now have the functional, spacious home they desired. “You find surprises, and every corner you see has a lot of detail,” the wife says. “Every space has a hidden treasure.”
