The Allure of the Maldives

Nestled amidst the mesmerizing cerulean waters of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives awaits, promising a breathtakingly lavish escape from reality. The enchanting haven of the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island stands amidst this natural beauty, offering its guests an unparalleled experience of luxury, adventure, and tranquility.

Arriving at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is an adventure in itself. A charming seaplane journey from the capital, Male, delivers guests to this isolated retreat. As you soar above the atolls, the view of the glittering waters and neighboring properties is simply mesmerizing. On the Rangali Island property, you’ll be greeted with the mesmerizing sight of small white-tip sharks skimming the pristine waters and tropical birds adorning the lush green canopy.

The island’s treasure, however, lies in its accommodation, including the resplendent Rangali Ocean Pavilion, a newly renovated two-bedroom suite. This luxury enclave offers a private beach and personal butler service, promising to deliver the epitome of indulgence.

For thrill-seekers, the allure of the Maldives extends beyond the tranquil beaches. Brace for an exhilarating 45-minute boat ride from the resort, offering an exclusive chance to snorkel with the elusive whale sharks. Though a glimpse of these gentle giants isn’t guaranteed every trip, the chances soar to 90% during the summer months. Imagine sharing the same water with these magnificent creatures - a moment of awe and wonder. Equally thrilling is the chance to swim alongside manta rays and sea turtles, each encounter rendering an immersive view into the vibrant life beneath the waves.

One of the island’s highlights is the Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, the world’s first all-glass undersea restaurant. Dine with a surreal 180-degree panoramic view of the vibrant coral gardens, dancing schools of fish, and even the occasional shark passing by.

The Maldives, with its azure waters, exotic wildlife, and unparalleled luxury, promises an adventure that’s as enthralling as it is relaxing.

FALL DECOR TIPS

By: Kristina Young

Much like our Fall season is different from the rest of the county, so is our décor. Make your home as crisp as the juiciest apple, yet as warm and cozy as your favorite pajamas with these style tips.

Nothing beats Fall… the season of flannel, pumpkin picking, a night being topped off with an inviting fire, and a warm cup of apple cider. Unless of course, you live in South Florida where flannel is only for pictures, pumpkin picking is an extreme sport, the fire pit is for show until January, and your apple cider comes from the refrigerated section at the grocery store.

White gives this design a light and airy fall feel, and mixing light colors with organic materials gives a calming effect. If you want your home to have fall accents without being overcome by color this is the design for you… simple and beautiful.

Plastic, wooden, glass, woven, or ceramic pumpkins! Pumpkins simply don’t do well with the heat, particularly ones that have been carved. We recommend sticking to the realistic looking pumpkins in this design. The gold leaves and gourds are so warm and a great way to give your fall decorations a luxurious feel. Mixing gold and white is a timeless design. This boutique table setting is for anyone who is looking to entertain this holiday season and wants to skip out on the normal fall decorations and keep things classy!

The white pumpkins are an accent to the mood setter: the candles. Adding candles to a space makes a space feel very inviting and romantic; perfect for creating an intimate vibe with your fall décor. No need to do an extravagant napkin set up… place a small pumpkin in the middle of the plate and you are done!

This centerpiece will have everyone talking, and is not difficult. You just open the pumpkin on top, place a container inside to hold the water, and fill with flowers creating a gorgeous statement. Make a repeat bouquet for each side of the pumpkin with some votives in between to create a longer centerpiece.

KristinaYoungistheprincipalofDazzleDesignFirm,afull serviceInteriorDesignandBoutiquelocatedinDelrayBeach,FL.

Make a Florida style statement by pairing the natural greens and baby’s breath with orange accents. The delicate and tasteful with a nod to fall by adding a few pumpkins. A combination that’s sophisticated and not overwhelming, with just the perfect amount of each element to bring in coziness and hints of autumn.

The Palm Beach Art Collection Features Open Impressionism

A blend of classical impressionism and modern expressionism, with a dash of plein air style, artist Erin Hanson uses the ‘alla prima’ technique, capturing the drama and movement of nature.

Hanging precariously and horizontally from red sandstone hundreds of feet above the ground may not seem like it would inspire the creation of beautiful oil paintings, but that is precisely what happened with Erin Hanson. The colorful cliffs of Red Rock Canyon, Nevada, inspired Erin to paint with thick, blocky strokes of paint, and she developed her own techniques of capturing the vibrant colors and bold lines of the desert, in a new style of painting that became known as Open Impressionism.

Open Impressionism uses color to create emotion, thick oil paint strokes to create movement, and separated brushwork to create a stained glass effect; a blend of classical impressionism and modern expressionism, with a dash of plein air style. Unlike traditional oil painters, Hanson does not build up the painting layer by layer; instead, she lays her paint strokes side by side without overlapping and works to get each stroke “right the first time.” These clean strokes give a mosaic effect to her paintings, while also conveying a sense of movement to her work. She uses a limited palette of only five pigments to create a vivid dance of un-muddied color upon the canvas, choosing colors that ignite the imagination and capture the emotional feeling of being out of doors.

“My painting technique is done with expressive color and loose brush strokes, in a wet-on-wet technique known as “alla

My paintings all begin with outdoor hikes and explorations in nature. My goal when I paint is to recapture that feeling of being out of doors and surrounded by natural beauty.

prima. “Alla prima comes from Italian, literally meaning ‘at first attempt’ and is loosely applied to any painting that is done in a direct, expressive style.

“I extensively plan out my paintings before I start painting with a brush, working out compositions and color combinations that will most effectively capture the drama of the landscape. I work with a limited palette of 4-5 colors, which I mix into a wide variety of hues and values appropriate to the scene I am creating. When it comes time to paint, I try to get the painting ‘right the first time,’ using as few brush strokes as possible to capture the immediacy and emotional movement of a landscape. The French term for this application is “premier coup.” You can see the texture of every brush stroke in my paintings, since I do not layer or thin my paint with turpentine. The result is an impasto oil painting with additional depth and movement from the thick texture of the paint.”

To Bee or not to Bee

ByNathanOlney

How one woman’s passion for bee keeping has impacted local communities, providing sustenance and a positive environmental impact.

Sierra Malnove was given her first beehive in 2012 by a bee specialist and since then it’s been all about the bees (and honey). It was that same bee specialist that recommended Sierra after a talk he gave at Broken Sound Country Club led them to want to get into the bee business. They had bee needs and she wanted more bees, a perfect match.

Now nine years later Sierra tends to bees at 28 golf and country club communities throughout Southern Florida as well as numerous private clients. “Backyard beekeeping is becoming very trendy,” Sierra enthuses, “there’s over 5000 registered beekeepers in Florida and many “over winter” their bees in Florida.”

“There’s so much diversity [at the clubs], a real safe haven for the bees, a visual buffet for the eyes and an actual buffet for the bees. What attracts the members in the first place visually is coming full circle to something they can actually taste.”

“BallenIsles Country Club was going to get rid of a portion of saw palmetto during renovations,” Sierra explains, “I took them out there during bloom and they saw ten different species of pollinator and then they tasted the honey fresh out the box, it changed their mind and they kept the saw palmetto.”

The small batch honey that Sierra will extract and prepare at her Kosher Certified Palm Beach Creamed Honey facility are truly all unique. “Every location is totally different – native, tropical, maybe a majority palms, what kind of annuals and perennials do they use? And it will all produce different flavored honey.”

“I have three locations in Admirals Cove so close to the water the bees make mangrove honey, it’s a really special batch,” Sierra says. “I like to touch base with every department, golf maintenance, the general manager, chefs and bartenders to see how they all can utilize the honey. Utilizing honey as amenities or gifts, food and drinks, the spa; the programs also can help clubs get and maintain their Audubon Certification.”

“Admirals Cove is implementing the honey into facials,” She says, “infused with rose hips and 25 carat gold, it’s really renewed a sense of awe and interest in the program.”

“The club bees are really living their best lives, low stress levels, not being moved around to pollinate, year-round forage, no competition, and they don’t have to be artificially fed.”

And the last time she was stung?

“Yesterday, right on the nose!” Sierra pauses, “there’s no managing the bees, it grounded me, you can’t be mad at the bees. What you give off is what you get back. It’s the vibe in the air. I want to be the happy bee lady.”

Eco-Luxury Masterpiece

A custom new build in an exclusive gated Boca Raton community

ByNathanOlneyandLHMstaff PhotographybyJoeyDuhon

Since 2000 Steve Petrucci estimates he has bought, fixed, and flipped over 2,000 homes. His company, Bella Homes, started in 2014 as a full- service builder with their own in-house design team, and to date has crafted 50+ new homes in Miami Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties, with a special emphasis on Palm Beach County.

Bella Homes focuses on Eco-Luxury and detailed elements to provide the highest level of fit and finish. “When building, using the best is very important,” Steve emphasizes. “Materials are top-of-the-line, build quality is on point… Our reputation relies on the flawless execution of our homes.”

When choosing materials luxury, performance and style are key factors in the decision making process. For this home’s kitchen, the finest quartz super jumbo slabs were sourced and installed with custom waterfall counters, custom stained cabinetry and Wolf, Subzero, Asker, Miele and Dacor appliances. The flooring throughout is 48” x 48” porcelain in Epika Shell.

A truly SMART home, this home features an integrated Lutron System that can control everything from the lights and window shades, to music, security cameras, and even the pool with ease. “You can turn the whole house on and off with the touch of one button,” Steve says. One of a myriad of fine-tuned details he brings to this project including Control4 Panels, a Solaris Whole House Purification system, and Luma Surveillance.

Passionate about eco-luxury, Steve shares, “We take our support and membership in the Florida Green Building Coalition very seriously. Every home we build is constructed with maximum efficiency in mind – with green features that benefit Mother Nature, like high Seer A/C, spray foam insulation, and full LED lighting.” Bella Homes has installed solar panels in their homes to lower costs and energy dependence.

The open living and dining room features a 100-bottle, floating glass system, temperature controlled wine wall and a designer Eco Smart fireplace feature wall with white oak and porcelain book match slabs.

In the kitchen, hidden behind what appears to be a full length cabinet door, is a large butler’s pantry complete with lots of storage, stylish shelves with LED lights, and quartz counter tops.

17861 FIELDBROOK CIRCLE | BOCA RATON | $9,950,000

“I like to go to the properties on a daily basis,” Steve says, “Seeing a property from start to finish is just exciting to me,” Steve shares, “All the little details, along with managing the process, and then getting to see the final product.” An in-house design team means that Bella Homes can be there from the first step to the very last. “Clients come to the office nearly every day for selections and the interior design process, and those decisions can be made on the spot. The clients don’t have to wait on a third party.”

With an eye toward modern, Steve’s favorite styles to build are modern farmhouse, California, and coastal modern. “I love to build on waterfront lots, especially around Boca, Delray, and Ocean Ridge. We’re just so familiar with the processes there – the building inspectors, the codes, the requirements.”

When not plotting, planning, building, and selling his homes, the Florida State graduate loves vacationing with his family of five. But then, it’s back to the build!

“From the style to the size to the details, it’s my favorite home I’ve built to date.”

The focal point of the backyard is a 51 ft x 45 ft resort style saltwater heated pool, with a champagne spa and triple sun shelf. Capturing the best of our Florida lifestyle, the one acre property provides a perfect backdrop for endless summer living and entertaining.

The oversized loggia’s focal point is a fireplace on a feature wall clad in porcelain slabs and cypress wood and a summer kitchen with a custom waterfall finish, marine grade cabinetry, and Wolf and Subzero appliances.

Hive Minded

ByNathanOlney

How a talented designer creating unique looks grew her brand, becoming the gold standard of our iconic Palm Beach style.

Beginning with her eponymous interior design company, McCann Design Group, Sara McCann has grown her Hive brand into a multi-functioning collective that includes all aspects of design, furniture, clothing, floral, kids and even the occasional croissant. All filtered through one defining lens and disseminated to a team that shares a belief in that singular vision, working in harmony to create unique looks start to stop, bottom to top. Almost like a hive mind.

Opened in 2013, Hive Home, Gift, and Garden was born out of a designer’s needs. “With so many of our interior design jobs at that time there was no place to go to for that last ten percent of the project, the finishing details and accessories,” Sara explains, “The Hive home store was born of that necessity.”

It truly is an all-in-one design stop and shop, with the added feature that anything purchased in the store can be delivered to the buyer that same day. Furniture, lighting, and accessories are curated and arranged in vignettes so people can get a vision of what it would look like in their own space. The entire selection of products for sale are vetted by Sara. In fact, the motto of the enterprise is “Sara wouldn’t put anything in the home store that she wouldn’t put in her own home.”

SARGENT PHOTOGRAPHY

It only takes a brief glance to immediately see that the multitude of offerings share an aesthetic DNA. There are lots of whites and neutrals as well as the signature Hive green which pops up throughout the various rooms and buildings, from the playful circus tent green and white stripes in Hive for Kids, to the bakery where it partners with dark walnut and brass, to the giant tropical mural spanning the side of Hive Home.

Just down the street from the central hub on South Dixie Highway is the Hive Trade Showroom which also includes the Southeast Florida showroom for Hickory Chair. Inside are exclusive lines of customizable fabrics, wallcoverings, trim, furniture, lighting, and rugs – all hand-picked by Sara and her team. “The ocean and lush landscaping of our beautiful, tropical environment always influences our choices –especially with fabrics,” Sara informs.

Speaking of new and exciting, Sara has already decided on Hive’s next trajectory, a space further down Dixie Highway south of Southern to be called Pure by Hive. Opening late fall, Pure will offer a more contemporary aesthetic, not quite modern but with updated, clean lines and new vendors targeting a younger demographic. “We’re noticing clients want a cleaner aesthetic,” Sara says, “they’re choosing more contemporary or transitional furniture.” And her advice for those Florida newcomers? “Don’t be afraid to start fresh with furniture choices and color palette.”

“Although we work primarily in Palm Beach, we are fortunate to have projects in Kennebunkport, Southampton, Lake Geneva, and Birmingham,” Sara announces. The Hive mind is expanding.

SOUTH BEACH ROAD | JUPITER ISLAND | SOLD PRICE $18,000,000

Can These Walls Talk?

By Joanne M. O’Connor

Do Americans have a First Amendment right to express themselves through the custom design of their home, thereby avoiding local regulations that seek to promote community aesthetics? That’s the question a divided panel of the Eleventh Circuit recently addressed—the first federal appellate court to do so—in Donald Burns v. Town of Palm Beach (2021).

Burns’s Custom Beachfront Mansion

Donald Burns, a resident of Palm Beach and former telecom executive, sought to demolish his 13,000-square-foot Bermuda-style mansion and replace it with a midcentury modern home nearly twice the size. His new two-story oceanfront mansion would have a basement garage, wine storage area and steam room, and would be screened from view by a limestone wall, louvered gate and heavy landscaping.

Palm Beach’s seven-member architectural review commission, experienced in art, architecture and real estate, denied Burns a permit, finding that the proposed residence did not satisfy the town’s “look-alike” ordinance because it was excessively dissimilar from other homes within 200 feet with respect to specified architectural and design criteria.

A Palm Beach resident sues the Town over his proposed custom home style

Burns Sues the Town of Palm Beach

For decades, courts have concluded that the First Amendment protects far more than just the spoken and written word. Based on this principle, Burns sued the Town of Palm Beach in federal court, claiming the town had denied his First Amendment rights to express himself through his residential aesthetic. He complained that the commission had rejected his proposed design based solely on that aesthetic—in other words, simply because they didn’t like midcentury modern-style homes.

During the litigation, Burns asserted that he sought through his design to communicate his “evolved philosophy of simplicity in lifestyle” and the message that he was “unique and different” from his neighbors. He wanted his new mansion “to be a means of communication and expression of the person inside: me.”

The trial court ruled for Palm Beach, albeit finding that the proposed residence did not fall neatly into existing First Amendment case law.

On Appeal, A Split Eleventh Circuit Rules

A sharply divided three-judge panel of the Eleventh Circuit ruled 2-1 against Burns in an opinion that ran more than 130 pages. Writing for the majority, Judge Robert Luck agreed that Burns’s proposed mansion was not expressive conduct but “just a really big beachfront house that can’t be seen, located on a quiet residential street in Palm Beach, Florida.”

The majority held that the plans called for “carefully shielding” most of the home from view— and even if the structure could be seen, there was no evidence a reasonable viewer would understand it to be anything other than “a really big house.”

The majority expressly declined to decide the admittedly “harder issue” of whether residential architecture can ever be expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment and, if so, what is the proper First Amendment test to apply.

In his dissent, Judge Stanley Marcus pointedly criticized his colleagues for curtailing the freedom of expression. Beginning with the premise that architecture is art, he found it difficult to square the majority opinion with well-settled law extending First Amendment protection to artistic expression in all its forms.

Residential architecture is inherently functional and semipermanent. It might be art, but it isn’t pure speech entitled to heightened protection, as even the dissent recognized. Ultimately, Burns’s proposed mansion—20,000-plus square feet shielded by privacy walls, landscaping and the ocean—was far from a perfect vehicle for deciding whether residential architecture can ever be expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment.

Joanne M. O’Connor

A team of women at Jones Foster defended the Town of Palm Beach in Donald Burns v. Town of Palm Beach, a landmark lawsuit brought under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution claiming the right to freedom of expression in residential architecture. That defense team included Litigation Shareholder Joanne M. O’Connor, Litigation Associate Hanna B. Rubin, Paralegal Karen Bould and Litigation Shareholder Margaret L. Cooper (in memoriam). Ms. Cooper argued dispositive motions before the District Court and Ms. O’Connor handled the oral argument before the Eleventh Circuit.

Jones Foster Shareholder Joanne M. O’Connor is a Florida Bar Board Certified specialist in Business Litigation, representing clients in a wide range of complex commercial, real estate, and governmental litigation matters. Ms. O’Connor is experienced in defending actions seeking certification of nationwide and statewide classes and handles jury and non-jury trials and appeals in state and federal courts and before private arbitration panels. Additionally, she serves as an attorney’s fees and professional liability expert witness.

Have you ever watched a TV commercial that encourages viewers to plan for their financial future and, for a moment, wondered about your own? For many that brief thought is soon dismissed by one of many distractions that characterize our days. After all, the process of ensuring that our finances are properly aligned with our goals can appear overwhelming and it is often deferred for later. We tell ourselves that life is too hectic now, but we will get to it when things calm down. However, that day may never come.

Having our financial house in order is not just about having enough money to support our lifestyle. We must also ensure that our investments reflect our risk profile, that short-term and long-term tax implications are considered, and that our cash flow needs will be efficiently supported by our portfolios well into the future.

Over the last 30 years, I have found numerous discrepancies between what clients expect from their investments and what these can offer them. Their portfolios might have been inherited from a parent or resulted from the distribution of assets following a divorce.

In any case, the new owner’s investment objectives and risk tolerance might be different from those of the previous owners, and adjustments are required. In other cases, clients have entered a new phase in their lives and their needs have changed. A common example is what happens when individuals retire. Until then, their primary investment strategy is to add to their investments – part of their earnings is being saved. Once retired, they are now living off their investments and need to withdraw from them. If the portfolio previously had as its investment objective that of growth and appreciation, it would now need to include the generation of income.

A significant benefit of reviewing your situation with a financial professional is that you will ensure that a comprehensive protection plan is in place, in addition to the realignment of investments. This plan would assess your health insurance to make certain you have proper coverage, life insurance to appropriately provide for your dependents, long-term care insurance to avoid a possible depletion of your estate, and suitable coverage for your valuable assets. It is important to consult an experienced insurance professional when determining adequate coverage levels within the context of a comprehensive financial program.

Financial peace of mind is no accident. It often comes to those who have recognized that planning for the future deserves a serious commitment. It is much easier to put a puzzle together when you can view the picture of what you are trying to build. We all need a financial blueprint whether we do it alone or we seek the help of a trusted financial professional.

Our current situation is, to a large degree, the result of choices we made in the past just like our future will depend on what we chose to do today. And while no amount of financial planning can guarantee financial peace of mind, implementing adequate financial strategies can significantly enhance the quality of our lives. Act now so that the next time you see one of those TV commercials, you don’t wonder, you simply smile and enjoy the moment.

Palm Beach County is known for its thriving luxury real estate market. It is a highly desirable location for affluent individuals seeking luxurious properties and a high standard of living.

The luxury real estate market in Palm Beach County has and continues to experience strong demand, with many affluent buyers seeking upscale properties in the area. This demand has contributed to the appreciation of property values over time.

Palm Beach County’s luxury market has international appeal, attracting buyers from around the world. Its proximity to major cities like Miami and Fort Lauderdale, as well as its beautiful weather and highquality amenities, make it a sought-after destination for international luxury real estate investment.

The vast amount of people moving to Florida in recent years has caused housing prices to rise significantly in a relatively short period of time. This strong demand has also caused the amount of available inventory to remain relatively low at a 2.8 month’s supply (a six month’s supply is standard in a normal market). Fewer listings hitting the market is also helping to keep inventory levels low (roughly 27% less listings vs a year ago).

Despite high mortgage rates, the market remains as competitive as ever thanks to strong demand coupled with tight inventory supply, due, in part, to those who purchased homes in recent years at record-low interest rates staying put. These and other factors form a perfect affordability crisis storm that continues to sideline many aspiring homeowners.

Florida’s new home construction market is also affected by the strong demand. While previous supply chain issues experienced during the pandemic have been resolved, current construction labor shortages are now causing delays for home builders in various metropolitan markets around the area.

In conclusion, Florida’s real estate market continues to thrive as a result of its enduring appeal as a soughtafter destination. The state’s natural beauty, vibrant culture, and favorable tax environment combine to create an irresistible draw for homebuyers. In comparing the real estate market between 2022 and 2023, the data reveals a remarkable 37.3% surge in condo sales, while single-family home sales have experienced a significant 14.9% rise. Additionally, it is worth noting that the market has witnessed a notable 7.2% decrease in the number of new listings, underscoring the current demand and potential implications for buyers and sellers alike.
