[ EDITOR’S MESSAGE ]

PALM BEACH 2026 The numbers on Palm Beach are exceedingly optimistic these days. Recent statistics tell us that the county’s GDP is at $131 billion, up from $117 billion two years ago, which is the third highest in Florida. The region has added 64,000 residents since 2020, a 4.3 percent increase. In West Palm Beach alone, the city’s population hit 126,944 as of April 2025, an increase of nearly 10,000 people in six years. In terms of real estate and development, there’s been $3.54 billion in new investment, with $1.1 billion going to new construction. And by most accounts, that development is being driven by major projects, including luxury condo towers. Countywide, residential sales are up, which means more people from Boca Raton to Jupiter looking for talent to renovate their new homes, more showrooms and design firms catering to those folks, and more projects for established designers and architects in the area—projects for us to consider and bring to you. Thus, this Palm Beach-themed issue of Florida Design.

It seems interest in this area of Florida is at an all-time high. Last year, this was our best-selling

newsstand issue, so a repeat performance just made sense. There certainly was enough interesting material to highlight. In terms of home features, we filled 68 pages with residences all over the county by design professionals at the top of their game. It all starts with our cover story of a Gulf Stream home

by Lauren McCauley of Kemble Interiors that’s a testament to palette inspired by art. Alex Alonso of mr.

Alex TATE Design shares a Manalapan renovation that required he look at Mediterranean style through a new lens. Sherrill Canet brought us a North Palm Beach vacation home made alive by happy thoughts.

Ellen Kavanaugh hit all the right celebratory marks with a Major Alley house on PB proper owned by a Southern bachelor. Jennifer Garrigues took cues from Bermudian architecture to deliver a light-filled retreat in North Palm Beach. Allison Paladino and Zita Rudd relied on bespoke touches to make a Lake Worth residence timeless for years to come. Daniel Kahan of Smith & Moore Architects, designer Lavinia Lemon, and landscape master Mario Nievera brought their talents together for a traditionally inspired, Colonial-style dwelling on Palm Beach Island. And designer Paul Sherrill of Solis Betancourt & Sherrill, deep-dived into ancient Roman motifs and classical antiques for his own pied-à-terre in West Palm Beach, a lakefront escape defined by contrasting styles.

Beyond the features, we highlight the residence of developer and SBP Homes principal Jim Hoffman, the result of a lengthy historic renovation in Prospect Park, and we talked to designer Ali Frye about the ins and outs of establishing joy in a charming single-family residence on The Island.

I think you’ll agree we’ve covered our bases. As for the rest of our pages, think elegance, color, and

[ PUBLISHER’S NOTE ]

SKY’S THE LIMIT Our Florida Design offices sit at the epicenter of a building boom not experienced in this market since the Jazz Age. Unlike the expansive estates of that period or the post-war single-family home rush the accompanied business growth, the current boom is moving in a distinctly vertical direction. As I write this, I can see no fewer than a dozen tower cranes at work near our downtown West Palm Beach location.

The developers behind these structures have funded them well, so these projects tend to move quickly from approval to unit sales to foundation work. As with many previous highrise builds in Miami to our south, the current residential towers underway have connections to the vaunted names of hospitality. Mandarin Oriental and The Ritz-Carlton are just two of the operators joining the push to provide residents with every possible amenity for their new homes in the sky. Star chefs, designs by world renowned architects, concierge services, multiple spa and dining options, 360-views, and scullery kitchens are on the long list of benefits that await future residents. But contrary to New York’s or Miami’s “super tall” standards, these buildings will be planned accordingly to fit the scale of our waterfront community. Yet even at “just” 25 to 30 stories high, they will still be packed with every conceivable must-have from an interior designer’s wish-list. The option our team has been buzzing about is the advent of the residential walk-in refrigerator. Forget the days of standing at the door and digging in the fruit drawer for avocadoes; with this next-generation cooler you walk in, quickly grab what you need, and get out.

With this Palm Beach focused edition, drink in the options and opportunities to be inspired for your next design project. Like much of Florida, our region has experienced an influx of new residents, businesses, retail and, most importantly in my view as a local, restaurants. Whether you are planning to reside here full-time or part-time, the destination is vibrating with activity. Welcome to the neighborhood and enjoy this Florida Design Palm

Upon first meeting the owners of the Gulf Stream home that graces this edition’s cover, designer Lauren McCauley was told they wanted a transitional design that would best highlight their art collection—and color touches galore! McCauley came through with a tailored and elegant look that’s evergreen and serves as the ideal backdrop for artworks from the likes of William Kentridge, Louise Lawler, and David Row. “The art was the driving force of this amazing project from day one,” says the interior designer.

“Our goal was to let it shine.” kembleinteriors.com

The key to a recent Manalapan house renovation led by designer Alex Alonso was to lean into the structure’s Mediterranean style with a modern outlook and make it relevant for today’s lifestyle.

“Being so close to Palm Beach, we wanted to be playful with botanical and floral prints, but not in a way that was too on-thenose with typical Palm Beach tropes,” says Alonso. “Ultimately, we found the right balance and gave our clients a home that feels cohesive and timeless.” mralextate.com

Longtime trust between interior designer Sherrill Canet and the homeowners of a vacation residence in North Palm Beach is what led to the success of a recent design project. “I go back 20 years or so with these clients, perhaps even longer,” says Canet.

“I’ve worked for them many times before, so there’s a confidence there that the job will get done, no matter what.” And it did. Canet and her team delivered a vacation home that’s light, airy, and above all, happy and ready to make memories. sherrillcanet.com

“The property did not have a view of the water, so the entire design team worked together to create an oasis,” says designer Jennifer Garrigues regarding a North Palm Beach residence she recently took on. The 5,500-square-foot family vacation residence benefitted from Garrigues’ years in the industry and her shrewd, discerning eye for style and balance. “Designing someone’s home is a very personal undertaking, and I’ve had the pleasure of building good friendships with a great deal of the clients I’ve worked with over the years,” she says. “This couple was one of those experiences.” jennifergarrigues.com

“We love to conceptualize interior architecture, and this was the perfect renovation to do just that,” says designer Allison Paladino about the recent design overhaul of a Lake Worth residence that she tackled with business partner Zita Rudd. “It was quite extensive,” adds Paladino. “We implemented bespoke ceiling details throughout, and designed the fireplace mantel, a great room bar, a modern kitchen with custom cabinetry, all the bathrooms, and a covered loggia with a grilling station.” The result?

A timeless residence that will be relevant for many years to come. paladinorudd.com

“A traditionally inspired Palm Beach Colonial-style dwelling, the house was designed to feel rooted in American architectural history while remaining relaxed and timeless in character,” says architect Daniel Kahan about a recent commission on Palm Beach Island. “The owners wanted a home that felt quintessentially American but would avoid appearing overly formal, large, or imposing.” Kahan and his team delivered with design that includes an “original” five-bay Federal-style mass that starts to ramble into “additions,” allowing the architectural style to morph and loosen as it would have in the ensuing decades of the property’s evolution. smithmoorearchitects.com

“I was originally drawn to the structure itself and loved the high ceilings and the texture of the exposed concrete ceiling and structural piers,” says designer Paul Sherrill about his weekend home in West Palm Beach. “The loft-like interior, defined by 10-foot exposed concrete ceilings, reminded me of Italian brutalist architecture from the 1970s, and that set the tone for the design approach.”

Said bold and personal design approach yielded a home that’s loft-like modern one minute, and classically elegant the next, with plenty of classical Roman Empire references along the way. solisbetancourt.com

When she was charged with overseeing the design overhaul of a residence on Palm Beach’s Major Alley enclave, designer Ellen Kavanaugh envisioned a vacation home that would suit the personality of her client, a gentleman bon vivant from Alabama. Kavanaugh hit all the right marks with a home that tells its story through cherished mementos, exquisite details, and cocktail culture winks. “This project was about being fabulous,” says Kavanaugh, “and having a lot of fun.” ellenkavanaugh.com

Design Science BOCCI’S NEW 93 PENDANT IS THE AESTHETIC RESULT OF CHEMICAL EXPERIMENTATION text CHRISTOPHER DAY

THE IDEA

THE PROCESS Created by pouring molten aluminum into a heated glass vessel, the pendant is formed by the traces left as the metal moves, oxidizes, and cools within its container. Those resulting forms are sculptural evidence of transformation.

THE LOOK Because of concealed LEDs deep within its cavity and an interior metal disk that reflects light outward, the 93 pendants recall planetary bodies similar to the ones in our galaxy.

74

THE DETAILS The 93 pendant will be available this spring through Bocci showrooms and authorized dealers. bocci.com

Science and design converge in Bocci’s new 93 pendant, a light fixture inspired by the volatile reaction that occurs when aluminum meets glass and air.

Every step of the process with Golovinski has been incredible - from choosing the finish to seeing it come to life during installation. The range of finishes gives me endless creative freedom to play with texture, light, and contrast like no other material can.

I loved the results so much in my clients’ projects that I decided to use it in my own home. When something moves from being a professional choice to a personal passion, that’s when you know it’s special.

Island Debut PETER PENNOYER ARCHITECTS PLANTS ITS FLAG ON PALM BEACH

inspired house in Palm Beach, designed by Peter Pennoyer Architects, winds up to a light-filled tower with steps made from Seville stone and a banister carved from white oak.

above: The interior of this new Arts & Crafts house in Ohio, designed

by Peter Pennoyer Architects, unfolds in enfilades with the entry serving as a central axis point

The name Peter Pennoyer Architects is not new to Palm Beach, but the firm’s new studio on the island certainly is.

“After three decades of working on projects here, we are thrilled to have a solid and growing presence in town,” the rich architectural heritage of Palm Beach and have enjoyed protecting the best of its historical character with a more contemporary sensibility.”

Pennoyer chose the former Palm Beach Hotel (237 Sunrise Avenue), which is on the National Register of Historic Places, as the address for PPA’s PB headquarters, an obvious nod to his firm’s solid reputation for renovation and historic preservation.

Leading the new office will be Tim Kelly, who opened PPA’s Miami location in 2010 and oversees many of its multi-family and commercial development projects.

“We are ecstatic about expanding into a market we know well,” says Kelly. “This office gives us a presence on this extraordinary island, which has a great history of beautiful houses and a future that promises to produce more exceptional architecture.” ppapc.com

Passion Project PALM BEACH DESIGNER CECE BOWMAN UNLEASHES HER ARTISTIC SIDE WITH A NEW COLLABORATION Sometimes, certain projects come along just when you need them. For Cece Bowman, it was in the form of The Folly Collection, a new line for Lycette Designs that shows off the tastemaker’s needlepoint skills with canvases featuring colorful versions of the ornamental garden dwellings with details such as stripes, stars, lattices, and florals. The canvases are sized to be used on pillows, coasters, bookmarks, and more. “I have always loved needlepointing, so I am unbelievably excited about this collection,” says Bowman. “Each of these canvases offers a modern take on a traditional pastime, which resembles my own process of building upon classical principles to design fresh interiors.” lycettedesigns.com; cecebowmaninteriors.com ABOVE: “Lycette Designs has been a wonderful creative partner in bringing this collection to life,” says designer Cece Bowman.

Highlights include an expansive botanical shop of faux and dried blooms, a design design and trade services, a trade program offering home renovation resources to residential and hospitality clients, and the all-important gift registry for weddings and other occasions. “This is the first new store we have opened in years in this market, and it was intentionally designed for the Palm Beach customer,” says Alicia Waters, Crate & Barrel’s brand president. “As one of the few retailers that serve the entire home, our purpose is to introduce timeless yet modern style into our customer’s spaces.” crateandbarrel.com

These blocks have seen such an influx of design-based businesses, galleries, and restaurants in recent years that Chelsea Viau and Korinne Belock, owners of Chelsea Lane & Co. and Palm Beach Regency, respectively, came together to incorporate the SSDD as a designated neighborhood.

The new flagship (at 502 Palm Street) offers 1,200 square feet of RSB’s handcrafted collections on full display. That includes winning pieces such as the Ann Orb chandelier, an amalgam of miscellaneous light spheres, and the Giant Lily, a showstopping fixture meant for the tall entryways and grand staircases of Palm Beach estates.

In addition to the brand’s diverse range of beaded and rattan sconces, chandeliers, and pendants, the new store also puts the focus on highlights such as the Bertini bar cart and the Francesca bar cabinet (two must-haves for cocktail culture devotees), as well as on Ro Sham Beaux’s new outdoor rattan lighting collection, which adapts popular indoor models for alfresco use.

The Helen Bergin Interiors for Abner Henry Collection is made up of 18 pieces handcrafted in Ohio from natural woods finished and layered in dyes and low-sheen washes that highlight the woods’ natural grains.

Standout pieces include the hexagona layer finish that combines various glazes to achieve a soft, natural vibe, and the Louis side chair, a sculptural piece made entirely from solid maple with a curved back that rises into a heartshaped cutout.

“Informed by antique references from the 1940s, the collection balances my signature approach with the kind of refined craftsmanship Abner Henry clients have come to expect,” says Bergin. “It’s a full range of custom forms that bring lightness and character to both residential and hospitality settings. And each piece is built to order, which ensures no two are alike.” abnerhenry.com; helenbergininteriors.com 90

Sunny Disposition DESIGNER ALI FRYE DELIVERS JOY VIA PALETTE AND TEXTURE text FLORIAN JOUIN residential photography CARMEL BRANTLEY

When the owners of a 4,567-square-foot house on Palm Beach proper enlisted designer Ali Frye for her design talents, they asked her for a youthful residence that would welcome the sun with crisp white walls and a “happy” ambiance. Frye delivered that and so much more.

above: “The living room sits at the center of the home, directly

off the foyer, so we wanted it to set the tone for the design,” says designer Ali Frye. “The room was designed specifically for entertaining, so we painted the ceiling white and installed a showstopping light fixture by Visual Comfort to draw the eye upward.”

above: “The dining room is directly off the pool, so we wanted to bring the tones of

the water inside,” says Frye. “You can see that on the gorgeous turquoise wallcovering from Phillip Jeffries and the upholstery on the custom Chaddock chairs.” left: “Because you access the pool through the breakfast room, the area needed

to be highly functional and user-friendly,” says Frye. “We chose durable banquette fabrics and chairs that are easily cleaned, creating a relaxed space that’s perfect for a quick snack or a casual post-swim meal.”

What was your main inspiration for this project?

The lush green landscape around the house and blues, greens, and aquas to play off the exterior views, and grounded that with natural materials like sisal rugs throughout.

The home feels so fresh. What dictated the color palette? We wanted the interior of the home to complement the greenery outside. From the moment you enter, floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the landscaping, so we utilized colors and natural materials that mirrored the environment seen through the glass.

“We wanted the interior of the home to complement the greenery outside,” says designer Ali Frye. “From the moment you enter, floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the landscaping, so we utilized colors and natural materials that mirrored the environment seen through the glass.”

“The walls on the den feature a custom mix of Benjamin Moore colors,” says Frye. “The furniture includes pieces by Chaddock Home, Pottery Barn, and The Inside. We also added a custom table skirt to anchor the corner.”

And what was your approach to those materials? We insisted they be natural to create a seamless flow between the indoors and outdoors. We used limestone flooring that transitions from the exterior to the interior and incorporated organic textures like sisal to maintain a breezy, coastal feel.

In terms of furniture, what brands and vendors did you rely on? Since the clients’ primary residence near Washington, D.C. is formal and traditional, the homeowners wanted this Florida home to feel distinctly different. We opted for a transitional style with cleaner, more youthful lines, so we relied heavily on Mecox, Lee Industries, and Chaddock Furniture. right: “Everyone asks about the wallpaper in the powder room, which is by Katie Ridder, who happens to be the first designer I worked for after college,” says Frye. “The bold turquoise and the turtle motif were the perfect fit for a Palm Beach home.” The mirror is by Stephen Antonson for West Elm.

Did you do much ornamentation? We focused on the clients’ personal passions. The wife has a deep love for Herend porcelain, and because the couple entertains frequently, we integrated items that were both beautiful and functional for hosting.

What was the most challenging aspect of this project? Marrying the original dark window casings with the light, airy, and sun-drenched aesthetic the clients desired.

What was the homeowners’ reaction to the finished residence? They were ecstatic! They specifically loved how bright and joyful the home felt.

And how do you feel about the project now that it’s behind you? We were thrilled with the outcome. When we first viewed the property, it was in dire need of serious care—the walls were dark red, and the floors were covered in shattered tiles. Seeing the house undergo such a complete makeover for such appreciative clients was incredibly rewarding. safinteriors.com

left: The goal of this sitting area in the primary bedroom was to provide the homeowners

with a dedicated space to relax, sit back, and enjoy the views of the ocean.

“The goal for the primary bedroom was to create a serene retreat,” says Frye. “The wall color was chosen to mirror the blue of the ocean visible through the windows, with ecru accents to capture the warmth of the incoming sunlight.” Furniture here includes a bed from Frontgate, lamps from Visual Comfort, and an area rug from Stark Carpet.

left: Homeowner Jim Hoffman is the principal

of SBP Homes, a luxury house builder with offices in Palm Beach and Connecticut.

As one of the principals of SBP Homes, developer Jim Hoffman deals in beautiful properties on a daily basis, but even he is quick to admit that a 1925 renovated landmark in West Palm Beach’s Prospect Park is rather special. It’s his own house after all.

“I approached this property as I do all our projects, as a place we would eventually sell,” says Hoffman. “But by the time it was complete, I realized it was exactly the kind of home I wanted to live in.”

Much of that realization had to do with the work of Gengler Architects, Nievera Williams Landscape Architecture, Armstrong Landscape & Design, and interior designer Doron Sabag, Hoffman’s partner at SBP, all of whom tackled the renovation in their respective categories.

The project was an arduous one to say the least. As with all historic renovations, this one had to follow endless rules as to what the

“The dining room and the living room are open to one another, so the approach was to create a space that feels calm and inviting rather than overly formal,” says Hoffman. “We wanted to encourage gathering and conversation, elegant but not precious.”

above: In terms of landscaping, there were two firms involved. “We collaborated with

Mario Nievera at Nievera Williams Landscape Architecture whose initial plan established a strong framework,” says Hoffman. “Then, designer Doron Sabag worked closely with our friends at Armstrong Landscape to develop and enrich the design. The goal was to create a layered, immersive garden experience.”

design team could or couldn’t do. “Although the Landmark Commission did allow us to introduce more glass and add a double decker porch on the back of the house, changing the style of the exterior in any major way was out of the above: “We cook quite a bit, so the kitchen was designed to be highly

functional,” says Hoffman. “The idea was to incorporate several workstations so that multiple people can prepare food at the same time.”

question,” says Hoffman. “What we did was honor the classic Mediterranean aesthetic of the house and restored the shell as much as possible.”

The interior was a completely different story. A complete gutting was performed to install all-new systems and finishes, address structural issues, and

make way for a clean, transitional look. The kitchen, laundry room, staircase, and entire second floor felt choppy and outdated, so their layouts were reconfigured. Once the changes were addressed, Sabag and his team got to work. A palette was established: blue, gray, and white for a timeless and calming effect. Flooring was selected: terrazzo-style porcelain on the first level and white oak on the second.

And furniture was purchased: lines from custom vendors in Connecticut and brands such as Natuzzi, Ligne Roset, RH, West Elm, and CB2.

Outside, the landscaping approach by Nievera Williams Landscape Architecture and Armstrong Landscape & Design is Palm Beach proper with hedges, palms, vines, planting beds, and ornamental trees. Beyond the main residence, a two-story guest house that serves as guest quarters and an art studio for Hoffman’s life partner, Rick Treimanis, stays honest to Sabag’s transitional design aesthetic.

“As I tell the story of how this place came to be, the series of events fits nicely into a few sentences, but I assure you the construction process was not tidy at all,” says Hoffman. “But all that is behind us. Today, it’s our home, a place where Rick and I can relax and enjoy the connection between the house, the gardens, and the surrounding landscape.” sbphomes.com

THE CHAPMAN WINTER PARK Loring Chase came to recuperate in Central Florida, fell in love with the area nestled between lovely lakes, and enlisted colleague Oliver Chapman to buy land. Winter Park was born—a magnet for tycoons, presidents, and influential figures, advertised as a refuge for “men of means.” A winter playground. A place of restoration.

The Chapman was created with that same romantic notion. A respite from the typical, where discovery meets comfort and indulgence, rooted in the art of heartfelt hospitality.

Inspired by that golden era of fine drinking and dining, savor the very best of Florida’s cuisine and cocktails in a warm, stylish setting.

From a bold Tomahawk Steak to a refreshing Florida 75 cocktail, and the sweet finish of the Citrus Meringue Pie, every detail celebrates Florida’s spirit and flavor.

Warm, artful, and distinctly Winter Park. Come to restore. Come to indulge. Come to The Chapman.

This year’s edition of the Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach featured a historic first. Instead of one dwelling to transform, the 23 designers and architects who participated unleashed their aesthetic talents on two properties: the waterfront Intracoastal House at 3410 North Flagler Drive, and Palm Cottage, a charming villa just across the street in Northwood Shores. As usual, the participants’ entries— which ranged from reinvented breakfast rooms to a movie set-worthy mahjongthemed lounge—delighted visitors with

their ingenuity, and among the winningest rooms were those conceived by designers based in Palm Beach County. Here’s a look at some of those efforts.

For added texture and architectural intrigue, custom trim work draws the eye to the ceiling to the blue-tinted mouldings painted in Benjamin Moore’s Grand Rapids 835. Formal English antiques provide an impression of timelessness and a reminder of home. lisaerdmann.com

SHERRILL CANET INTERIORS Bordeaux wallpaper from York Wallcoverings lends the walls in this primary suite a serene, understated elegance, while Pierre Frey’s Andrea Riviere fabric adds a subtle hint of spice behind the custom bed upholstered in Scalamandré bouclé. Accent pillows, crafted in pale silks from Kravet and finished with silk brush fringe in celery from Samuel & Sons, enhance the room’s refined subtlety. Nearby, a pair of chairs upholstered in deep green velvet from Kravet introduce a vibrant note within an inviting conversational corner.

Tropical Tapestry LANDSCAPE DESIGNER FERNANDO WONG TRANSFORMS A PALM BEACH GARDEN INTO A GREEN SPACE WORTHY OF THE SMITHSONIAN ARCHIVES

TEXT PAIGE BOWERS PHOTOGRAPHY JERRY RABINOWITZ

Ann Heathwood first bonded

with

landscape designer Fernando Wong over someone else’s garden. It was at The Garden Club of Palm Beach’s House and Garden Day, and Heathwood soon learned that Wong not only shared her love of the Herald’s Trumpet vines that bloomed on the property but was in fact the person who had planted them. They exchanged numbers, and soon Heathwood invited

Wong

to

survey

the

grounds

surrounding her home, which was designed by noted local architect John Volk.

“After living in the property for a while, I came to love the fact that we had a formal garden on one side of the house, and a tropical pool garden on the other, so it became intriguing to me to see how we could embellish them,” says Heathwood. “I’d called an architect to see what he could do, but he wasn’t interested because the design wasn’t his. Fernando, on the other hand, said he’d be delighted to take it on.”

The gardens were originally designed for the Heathwoods in 2008 by the late landscape architect Raworth Wall, a one-man show known for the private gardens he created in the area.

They unfold as a series of four “rooms” across the property: the Motor Court Garden, with its night-blooming jasmine that scurries across the front of the home; the Great Garden, a large open garden on the east side of the residence that includes pinwheel jasmine and mangrove fan palms; the intimate Secret Garden, with its bleeding heart vines, traveler’s palm, and statues of the Four Seasons; and the Tropical Pool Garden, with its crape jasmine trees and Mexican petunia.

After reviewing Wall’s extensive sketches and other project documents, Wong opted to

a package of information for bed designs in white, blue, and violet, and then purple and pink. Each color concept came with its own set of plants—for example, white begonias or cool blue plumbago—that could be changed depending on what was available, or what hue Heathwood might prefer. He also added a fountain, topiaries on either side of the front door, and, yes, Herald’s Trumpet vines on the portico in the Motor Court Garden. Then, he moved on to the Tropical Pool Garden, filling in the flower-laden beds with Green Island ficus, planting jacarandas and fragrant ylang-ylang trees, placing topiaries, and adding cascading

Blue Daze flowers to existing planters. In the Secret Garden, Wong designed around the preexisting central fountain, statues of the Four Seasons, and a simple bench that was framed by tropical foliage.

“I enjoy great bones, and these gardens have them,” says Wong. “We have hurricanes and storms, and change is everywhere right now, so for this project what we wanted was for Mrs. Heathwood to get to keep the good work that had already been done here.”

Heathwood added her own bits of whimsy, among them a green bench that looks like it’s made of popcorn (“that’s one of my favorite spots of the garden,” she shares) and three “pet” geese statuary that were a gift from her interior designers, Lee Bierly and Chris Drake.

Because of the effort and intention that went into revitalizing Heathwood’s gardens, The Garden Club of Palm Beach (a member of

Popularized in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, the Four Seasons statues, in the property’s Secret Garden, symbolize the natural cycle of life, renewal, and abundance.

The Garden Club of America) submitted the project to the Smithsonian Archives of American Gardens for possible inclusion. The application process was extensive, Heathwood says, and included sharing information about the home’s history, the evolution of the gardens over time, and a comprehensive description of the garden in its current state. The archive, which collects, preserves, and provides access to resources about the history of gardens in America, recently accepted Heathwood’s grounds into its database, a distinction that she and Wong don’t take lightly.

“It’s an exceptional honor,” says Heathwood. “When I hear other people talk about the gardens they have tried to enter into this, only to not be received, it makes it just that much more overwhelming.”

The Heathwood garden is the second of Wong’s projects to be included in the Smithsonian Archives. “I’m grateful to have friends and clients who want to make sure that my work is honored in ABOVE: A Phalaenopsis orchid among

this way,” he says. “I feel privileged.”

Meanwhile, Heathwood and her family continue to enjoy the fruits of Wong’s labor.

“I love to stroll through the gardens or sit and read and enjoy the sounds of nature and the peace that is there,” she says. “It was serendipity that I was standing next to Fernando that day and that he made all of this happen.”

As a token of his appreciation, Wong sent Heathwood his 2024 book, The Young Man and the Tree. In it, he wrote to her: “Dear Ann: It all started in a garden. Thank you for letting us do yours.”

When she flipped the book over, she saw a glossy picture of her garden on the back cover, a testament to her trust in him, and to his gratitude for that trust. fernandowongold.com

that. But few do so as effectively as the dazzling Excellence, a 263-footer built for billionaire auto dealer Herb Chambers.

With her blade-like reversed bow, yards of mirrored glass, and shimmery-white paintwork, Excellence is the most dramatic build yet to emerge from the 119-year-old Abeking & Rasmussen yard in Bremen, Germany. It also happens to be Chambers’ sixth and largest Excellence to date. Word is that when he fell in love with this model at the 2015 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, he enlisted the team at Winch Design in Britain to fine-tune the vessel inside and out to suit his needs.

Arguably, the yacht’s most headlining feature—second only to that razor-like bow—is the glass. On each side of the vessel are 16-foot-tall glass panels, each weighing roughly

More than 30 different types of marble were used throughout the yacht, along with a multitude of rare woods and veneers, including Macassar ebony, red-gold Amboyna burr, and quilted Tamo ash.

The aft bridge deck is aptly equipped for entertaining with oversized white sofas and nautical cushions, woodframed armchairs, and an outdoor kitchen with bar seating. The custom coffee table is made of a mix of mirror-varnished wood and polished stainless steel.

Nodding to Chambers’ industry, the interior doesn’t hold back on the automotive themes. The yacht’s two lounges both house tan leather chairs inspired by the racing bucket seats of a 1970s Ferrari Daytona, and in the owner’s bedroom suite, a series of elongated, chrome drawer pulls recall the trunk lid of a classic Duesenberg.

In terms of accommodations, the superyacht boasts six, generously sized guest cabins, as well as an entire upper deck dedicated to the owner’s suite and all its bells and whistles, plus a private aft deck with Jacuzzi and a wraparound forward deck for sunbathing and relaxing. Additional amenities include a nine-seat cinema, spa, sauna, gym, and an expansive beach club with a small armada of water toys.

On the move, Excellence’s twin 2,000-hp MTU diesels can push it to an impressive top speed of almost 17 knots, and with full tanks, the yacht can cruise for 4,400 nautical miles.

Excellence is currently available for charter through Burgess Yachts for a weekly rate from $1.15 million. burgessyachts.com

“For the living room, we wanted a comfortable yet tailored seating area that could accommodate a large group when entertaining yet still feel intimate for everyday living,” says McCauley. Furniture selections here include a Stark area rug, Lucite stools from Interlude Home, and a hybrid coffee table/ottoman from Highland House.

“They were game when it came to palette, and that’s always a good sign,” says McCauley. “Blue became the anchor color throughout the home, with pops of yellow and pink in the main living spaces. We also decided that specific shades were needed for the guest rooms, one in green and another in blue, to give each space its own personality.”

Come to think of it, personality is the first word that comes to mind when encountering the 3,000-square-foot residence. Upon first meeting with them, the owners told McCauley and Urbanek exactly what they wanted: “a transitional design that would highlight and complement 142

their art collection.” And that’s what they delivered.

Said art collection, a smartly curated mix of contemporary paintings, photography, and black-and-white sketches, becomes the focal point of each room in the house thanks to the design team’s astute layering. “The art collection drove the entire design,” says Urbanek. “We pulled key colors like blue, yellow, and pink from the artworks and carried them throughout the home.”

Integral to the design was the furniture selection. “We kept the furniture pieces neutral and transitional, allowing the art and accent pieces to bring in visual interest,” says McCauley. “We

“Because the office opens to the main living space, it needed to relate to the overall design while still feeling distinct,” says McCauley. “That’s why we kept the palette neutral with black accents.” The jazz-themed photographs by Don Hunstein showcase the diversity of the homeowners’ art collection.

Leading into the office is a series of bird sketches by William Kentridge.

relied on amazing brands such as Artemest, Rebecca Atwood for fabrics, Stark for area rugs, Phillip Jeffries for wallcoverings, Urban Electric for lighting, and many others.”

As smooth as the design process was, the project did have its minor challenges. The home’s modern layout meant the kitchen, living room, and dining area were open to one another, so the design team had to ensure each space was clearly delineated. This was done by carefully choosing which artworks went where, a process that was purely instinctual. Case in point: In the living room, a foursome of ink sketches by William Kentridge is perfectly juxtaposed with pink and blue cushions and bulbous lamps in bright yellow. Why do Kentridge’s images of a man with birds work so well here? Who knows, but they do, so why question it?

“The art proved to be the driving force of this project time and again,” says McCauley.

“Our goal was to let those pieces shine without overwhelming them with too many competing elements. It was thrilling to see this vision of a home come to life.” right: A wallcovering by Thibaut and a wicker pendant

Poised on the southern tip of Manalapan, this Spanish Mediterranean-style dwelling features water views on two sides.

Outfitted with RH loungers, the interior courtyard comprises a pool, a covered lanai, and multiple access points into the home.

WALKWAYS PAVED IN GRAY AND WHITE marble lend a classic touch to the main entry of a home in Manalapan before a stately black door opens into a turret-style foyer, its entire exterior clad in climbing greenery. Once inside the property, an interior courtyard reveals a crystalline pool and a quaint lanai that showcases the property’s expansive water views. Laid out in a U-shaped floor plan, the house occupies nearly 6,000 square feet of space and is surrounded by water on two sides.

“The layout emanates a casual, easygoing vibe, and the home has wonderful entertaining spaces inside and out that make it an effortless place to gather,” says Alex Alonso, head of mr alex TATE Design, who was responsible for the residence’s recent renovation. “The owners are from Canada, but they reside here for more than half the year because they love the weather and South Florida lifestyle.”

These clients had originally envisioned a larger construction project, which would have extended the second story to add more square footage, but they ultimately decided to keep the existing footprint and modify the spaces. As a result, a wing was expanded and reconfigured to connect it more organically to the rest of the house.

“The architecture in Manalapan ranges from Spanish-Mediterranean to Colonial Bermudastyle to modern glass structures, and the town has an unpretentious disposition that feels instantly charming and inviting,” says Alonso. “This home’s original aesthetic included architectural elements more aligned with a Mediterranean style, so that dictated the direction we took with the restoration.”

The design team replaced the flat slate shingles with a Spanish red tile roof, brought in new windows, and expanded the exterior openings to create more indoor/outdoor living spaces. When it came time to decorate the interiors, Alonso told his team to have fun with color, pattern, and texture. Case in point: the living room’s trellis ceiling, which is rooted in

chinoiserie and Victorian designs. “Being so close to Palm Beach, we wanted to be playful with botanical and floral prints but not be too on-the-nose with typical Palm Beach tropes,” laughs Alonso. “It was a fun game of when to pull back.”

Ultimately, the home created feels cohesive and timeless, which was achieved by relying on classic evergreen motifs such as tropical patterns, bold stripes, rattan, and wicker.

“This project was five years in the making, with many starts and stops due to construction issues and material delays,” says Alonso. “But through it all, the homeowners were fantastic to work with, as well as open and responsive to the design journey.” above: In the hallway that leads to the home’s guest quarters, an intimate seating area with a chinoiserie-style chair forms a quiet vignette embellished with a fringed pendant and art prints.

“We switched up the blue tones in this area with some stunning artwork and carpentry. The checkerboard marble in beige and black helps to ground the space.”

“The living room is airy and spacious with soaring ceilings and spectacular waterfront views,” says Canet. “The decoration here started with an antique Swedish carpet from Doris Leslie Blau. The grand bird and leaf design chandelier from Apsara lends an organic feel and leads the eye up to the ceiling.”

WHEN DESIGNER SHERRILL CANET was tapped to design the North Palm Beach vacation residence of two longtime clients of hers, trust between the parties made the project all that much smoother.

“These homeowners and I go back for 20 years,” says Canet. “My first job for them was a very grand, new house with the architect Oliver Cope in Oyster Bay, New York, and over the years I’ve worked for them again and for many of their family members. We’ve had a long design journey together, so they have full confidence in me, and that’s wonderful because they know to expect the outcome to be cohesive, considered, and intentional.”

That was certainly the case this time around with the design overhaul of a 6,000-square-foot house in the private golf community of Lost Tree.

“My goal for this vacation home was for it to be completely different from their primary dwelling,” says Canet. “Above all, I wanted it to feel light, airy, and happy.”

“My goal for this vacation home was for it to be completely different from the owners’ primary dwelling,” says designer Sherrill Canet. “Above all, I wanted it to feel light, airy, and happy.”

left and below: With its hand-painted mural, the powder room is one of the most stunning rooms in the residence. The Mediterranean-style cobalt pedestal was original to the house and restored with a new lapis lazuli sink and Sherle Wagner fixtures.

That all began with the palette, a mix of blue shades that nod to the ocean. “You know that there is not one blue room in their home up north,” says the designer. “But this is Florida, so we established the blue palette from the exterior, where you can first see it on the window shutters, and then carried it inside.

The color felt appropriate for the house, the location, the architecture, and the landscape.”

The design team then turned their attention to texture. “We decided to tell the material story of the house with natural stone,” says Canet. “The foyer is accented with marble in a checkerboard pattern, and the flooring through the rest of the house is a smooth limestone with a soft and dreamy flow.”

In terms of furniture, the approach is a timeless mix. “We incorporated a few key vintage pieces and juxtaposed them with modern furnishings,” reveals Canet. “In a coastal area such as this, I wanted the vibes to be casual and calm, yet still elegant.”

Now complete, the finished residence boasts the bright, airy, and undeniably coastal feel Canet and her clients were so determined to capture.

“It was a lovely transformation, and the owners were thrilled with the outcome,” says Canet. “The house has a playful spirit, and that was my intention from the start.”

“We wanted this spot to feel opulent and elevated, beyond the more casual Bermudian architecture,” says Kavanaugh. “When you walk through the door, there’s an immediate sense of wow; it’s surprising, exciting, and full of good energy.”

THE 1920S HOMES OF PALM BEACH’S Major Alley, a storied compound of six interconnected residences conceived by Howard Major, have long captivated architecture enthusiasts with their walled gardens, enclosed courtyards, and casual Bermudian vernacular. Properties within the enclave seldom trade hands, but when homeowner Bart McCorquodale encountered a serendipitous pocket listing for a 1,400-square-foot, onebedroom residence, he saw an opportunity to curate an entertainment-focused retreat.

“There’s nothing like it on the island,” says McCorquodale’s designer, Ellen Kavanaugh, who renovated the home with colleague Hanna Blackwell.

Though McCorquodale primarily lives in Birmingham, Alabama, he envisioned a vacation home that embraced its setting while indulging his flair for grandeur and hosting.

After a yearlong renovation, the home checks all those boxes.

The 100-year-old structure required a full gut renovation, replacing dated elements with timeless finishes, including new plaster walls, wallcoverings, and cabinetry throughout.

While the living room and kitchen layouts remained intact, the primary suite was dramatically reimagined. A low ceiling, oversized closet, and dark corridor gave way to furniture-like built-ins and soaring 12-foot ceilings, imparting a luxurious hotel suite aesthetic. Throughout, checkered marble floors nod to Major’s legacy and the classic Palm Beach motif.

What was once an unremarkable hallway now houses a showstopping bar with richly patinated oxidized paneling and blue-and-white, hand-painted Spanish tile, a welcome stop for homeowner and guests alike.

“We wanted to mix materials and have fun,” Kavanaugh explains. “We wanted something fabulous.”

In the living room, Kavanaugh leaned into a tailored masculinity inspired by the work of Billy Baldwin, layering pieces that lend a timeless appeal rather than a trend-driven one.

AFTER VISITING CLOSE FRIENDS and family, a couple from California fell so hard for the charms of Palm Beach, they invested in a small cottage as a way to test how much they loved vacationing in the area. Over the years, their love only grew stronger, so they took a leap of faith by purchasing a prime spot of land between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean and built a 5,500-square-foot house that’s now their official second residence.

Designed by renowned New York architect David Neff, the home embodies a distinctive Bermudian style with a crisp white exterior, ornate gables, steep chimneys, and covered walkways. Known for his unexpected layouts, Neff created the U-shaped dwelling with a deep backyard, positioning the living room off to one side and relocating the garage to a rear corner of the property. Working closely alongside the architect and the homeowners, Palm Beach interior designer Jennifer Garrigues ensured a seamless collaboration.

“The property did not have a view or water access, so we all worked together to create an oasis marked by lush landscaping and a fantastic pool,” says Garrigues.

The entrance to the home has a “Cape Dutch” appearance, and the entire house wraps around the backyard, bringing the outdoors in. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors along the perimeter allow access to the exterior from any room on the first floor.

The front door opens onto an elegant foyer, with loads of light pouring through the windows. The clients brought in a magnificent console with a tall mirror from one of their previous homes, and the design team accented the space with a stunning inlaid Moroccan bench and an area rug that echoes the blue hues of an upholstered chair and other accessories. Further aligning with the tropical outdoor scenery and climate, the design was kept light with organic fabrics like linen, a variety of which was used on the furniture and draperies. Richly patinaed reclaimed-wood flooring (imported from an 18th-century French castle) flows throughout, along with bold Portuguese tiles in the accent rooms, staircases, and bathrooms.

“The gorgeous, reclaimed ceiling beams in the dining and living rooms are always conversation starters,” says Garrigues. “Walking into the living room, you immediately notice the two large Sputnik chandeliers that were once sconces we converted into ceiling fixtures.

Above all, we wanted this living space to be inviting, yet sophisticated, left: Adjacent to the dining room, a quaint indoor/outdoor bar area with wine storage

Outside, a spacious covered loggia with an adjacent alfresco dining area overlooks the backyard and lavishly landscaped pool area, which was embellished with decorative tiles.

“My favorite part of designing this home was that the owners trusted my vision from the start, and it turned out beautifully,” says Garrigues. “Designing someone’s home is very personal, and I’ve had the pleasure of building friendships with most of my clients. This wonderful couple was one of those experiences.”

ON THE WATER A FOYER-TO-BACKYARD RENOVATION YIELDS A CONTEMPORARY VACATION RETREAT ON LAKE WORTH LAGOON

The living room appears to float over water, creating a breathtaking first impression after walking through the front door. Two seating areas, divided by Baker’s contemporary stone-topped cabinet, temper the room’s grand proportions, and upholstered pieces and artwork in blue-andwhite palettes echo the tranquil scenery.

The living room showcases Paladino Rudd’s design approach: transitional, timeless, and tasteful. An upper-level seating area connects to the space visually via glass panels.

TWO NORTH CAROLINA ENTREPRENEURS have gleaned a thing or two from the frenetic hospitality biz, including the chaos that comes with renovating and building two homes nearly back-to-back. Their latest undertaking—a 9,190-square-foot renovation—encountered multiple nightmares once the walls started to come down. Lucky for them, they purchased the vacation dwelling for its exceptional views—with 320 feet of waterfront on two sides, the place showcases the vast tidal estuary known as the Lake Worth Lagoon, which merges with the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. Even luckier still was having designers Allison Paladino and Zita Rudd as part of their renovation team.

The project was complex and involved. Diving into this extensive remodel, the crew removed all the drywall and redesigned and reframed certain areas to make the house more current and practical. The double doors in the foyer were replaced with large pivot doors to create more space for a collection of below: The entrance foyer showcases a custom gray-stained white oak staircase by Paladino

Paladino Rudd also created a custom staircase that incorporates an existing column that was too costly to remove. Crafted from gray-stained white oak and accented with glass panels, the design introduces a statement architectural feature defining the entrance and the soaring great room beyond. The existing vertical column, now clad in wood, extends out to the right to become the first step of the staircase.

For the massive great room, the design goal was to temper the proportions by integrating a cozy, intimate seating area where two people can get comfortable. “We subtly divided the space with a beautiful low-profile cabinet,” says Rudd. “Now, the area can accommodate more guests, spotlighting the newly refurbished pool and the amazing water views.”

With the help of an engineer, the design team at Paladino Rudd added a covered loggia with a vaulted ceiling wrapped in white shiplap that connects seamlessly to the living spaces. Decked out with generous seating and a cocktail table from Janus et Cie, the area boasts six skylights overhead and a grill station.

With a palette inspired by blue skies, blue water hues, and ethereal white clouds, the design team approached every detail with the scenery in mind. Their results reveal a fresh new home with an impeccable layout that amplifies the views. “We love to conceptualize interior architecture, and this was the perfect renovation to do just that,” says Paladino. “We implemented bespoke ceiling details throughout, and designed the fireplace mantel, a great room bar, a modern kitchen with custom cabinetry, all the bathrooms, and a covered loggia with a grilling station.”

The couple’s two daughters love visiting, so the outdoor spaces and pool have become favorite spots in the residence. With a first grandchild now part of the family, the homeowners are looking forward to making enduring memories in their new waterfront retreat.

“The clients were incredible collaborators, and they appreciated all of the preparation and work that goes into a renovation,” says Paladino. “Like us, they are outof-the-box thinkers, and because of that, this project was a true pleasure.”

DRAWN TO A SPRAWLING PALM BEACH property for its generous double lot, a Florida couple sought to maximize the open space and garden areas around a new build while maintaining a modest architectural scale. Their vision of a house that grows and changes over time informed the design approach initiated by their architect, Daniel Kahan, a partner at Smith and Moore Architects based in West Palm Beach.

“A traditionally inspired Palm Beach Colonial-style dwelling, the project is designed to feel rooted in American architectural history while remaining relaxed and timeless in character,” says Kahan. “The owners wanted a home that felt quintessentially American, but not overly formal, large, or imposing.”

Conceptualizing the structure to appear as a historic house that had been gradually renovated and added on to by a family that was growing and acquiring property around them, Kahan’s 10,000-squarefoot design includes an “original” five-bay Federal-style mass that starts to ramble into “additions,” allowing the architectural style to morph and loosen as it would have in the ensuing decades of the 192

“We wanted to create the feeling of structure in the gardens with a little bit of looseness and color,” says landscape architect Keith Williams.

property’s evolution. “People often ask when the original house was built, not knowing that it all came together at once,” notes the architect.

A long gallery connects the wings of the house and showcases the clients’ superior art collection. At the far end, the dining room offers a formal space with architecturally defined alcoves and views of the gardens in the front and back of the house. A whimsical bay window with latticed grille work looks out to the front yard, and large steel-and-glass windows offer expansive views of the rear gardens.

Central to the home’s design are its alfresco living spaces, as the architecture prioritizes natural light, garden views, and fluid transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, making the house well-suited to the Palm Beach lifestyle. To enhance this vision, the owners collaborated with landscape architect Keith Williams to shape the outdoor aesthetic. The layered architecture and garden spaces allow the home to feel as though it has evolved naturally over time, giving it a sense of history

while still meeting the needs of contemporary living. “The owners expressed how they wanted to use their gardens, with spaces that provide different functions—from entertaining to relaxing and lounging in the sun,” says Williams. “The landscape layout applauds the home’s rambling architectural style, which gave us a lot of flexibility in our design, including a fun folly structure on axis with the pool.”

The interior spaces pay homage to both gardens and architecture, with Washington, D.C. designer Lavinia Lemon at the helm. This being the third residence she has designed for this couple, Lemon and her team, including Megan Stinson and Abigail Blades, moved fluently into the creative process, refining the details together. “The homeowners are passionate art collectors, which played an important role in shaping the aesthetic,” says Lemon. “We approached the interiors with the goal of creating spaces that would feel both sophisticated and livable.”

Integrating the homeowners’ preferred palette of subdued greens and blues, the design team layered in textiles, rugs, and decorative lighting to create a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The colors also complement the lush landscape surrounding the home,

helping blur the line between inside and out. Throughout, they incorporated custom furnishings and cabinetry to ensure the scale and materials felt appropriate to the architecture.

“The bespoke elements that define this project enabled us to tailor the spaces precisely to the owners’ needs while creating a cohesive design language that flows from room to room, and I think that’s true for everyone who had their part in bringing this spectacular residence to life,” adds Lemon. “The finished home, a glorious statement to interior design, architecture, and landscaping, speaks to the spirit of collaboration.” right: A series of potted trees and foliage creates a contemplative moment for guests as they stroll through the property’s gardens.

refined sense of heritage with their arched backs and Lucite arms, which quietly echo a Roman arch motif. The orange triangular painting on the exposed concrete wall was created by designer Paul Sherrill’s business partner, José Solis Betancourt, who gifted it to him as a housewarming present. “When I saw it in his studio, I knew it was the one piece that would add an unexpected touch to the room,” says Sherrill.

WHEN WASHINGTON, D.C.-BASED DESIGNER Paul Sherrill needs a recharge, he heads to his 1,000-square-foot apartment overlooking Clear Lake in West Palm Beach. Once there, a few days of Florida light usually do the trick, a testament to Sherrill’s abilities as a designer and his respect for architecture, memory, and restraint.

“I was originally drawn to the structure itself and loved the high ceilings and the texture of the exposed concrete ceiling and structural piers,” says Sherrill of his retreat. “The loft-like interior, defined by 10-foot exposed concrete ceilings, reminded me of Italian brutalist architecture from the 1970s, and that set the tone for the design approach.”

Said approach yielded a home that’s both loft-like modern and classically elegant, populated by mid-century modern elements paired with exquisite antiques and Roman motifs.

One of the most significant transformations involved the kitchen. Originally positioned front and center upon entry, where it felt too visually dominant, Sherrill simplified the space by having the cabinetry and backsplash painted in a cinder-colored satin enamel and reducing the island to a clean cube clad in marble. “It is now a monolithic, bold statement that adds immediate gravitas as one enters the home,” he says. above: Positioned above a gray sofa in the living area, a striking photograph anchors the space. “This gutsy art piece is a substantial contemporary photograph by Italian artist Massimo Listri,” says Sherrill. “It’s titled Reggia di Caserta IX 1993, and it depicts the interior architectural setting of a palace in Italy.” The arches within the image subtly echo the rounded corners of the glass coffee table below, creating a quiet visual dialogue.

Equally impactful are the artworks that anchor the interior. While some of these were already in his collection, he acquired key pieces specifically for the condo. A life-sized marble sculpture by Italian artist Alessandro Tagliolini is placed on axis with the entry, creating a strong focal point.

Nearby, a large photograph by Italian artist Massimo Listri depicts an architectural interior of the Reggia di Caserta.

Textiles were introduced selectively. A large linen portiere with Greek key banding separates the kitchen to create a more intimate dining area and improve acoustics. In the bathroom, a flintcolored abaca wallcovering and two 17th-century Dutch mirrors replace standard finishes.

Like all design projects, this one had its challenges. “At home, we can experiment freely and there is more flexibility to tweak and refine designs for future projects, but all the options available to you can get overwhelming,” says Sherrill. “It can be challenging to stay focused on the design concept when there are so many beautiful options being presented, but you pull through.”

While not for everyone, Sherrill’s design juxtapositions have produced a highly individual retreat shaped by structure, art, and personal history, and finessed through a seasoned designer’s own lens. above: “Since I have never cooked in my life, I saw no reason to make the kitchen a feature,” admits Sherrill. “The previous owner had installed new Ubatuba countertops and all-new appliances with a dark bronze metal finish, and I was fine with that. However, the dated yellow maple cabinets and a barstool counter island had to go.” Those cabinets were painted black, and the island was transformed into a sculptural block wrapped in marble. Sherrill also decided the kitchen would be the ideal showplace for a life-size marble statue by Italian artist Alessandro Tagliolini.

CHRISTOPHER SPITZMILLER’S CHARMING AURORA LAMP MAKES DESIGNER DANIELLE ROLLINS’ HEART BEAT A LITTLE FASTER

THE TASTEMAKER: One of Palm Beach’s most popular and respected designers, the in-demand Danielle Rollins specializes in bespoke residential and commercial interiors, reflecting a chic signature style that harmonizes scale, function, and comfort.

THE OBJECT: The Aurora lamp by Christopher Spitzmiller is made of rich ceramic with a 23-karat gold water-gilt base and a vellum paper shade.

WORDS: “The Aurora lamps are like little heartbeats in a room,” says IN HER WORDS Rollins. “The silhouette is classic and sculptural, while the color adds a fresh, feminine punch that elevates everything around it. These lamps embody that perfect balance of glamour and warmth that I always strive for in my interiors.” danielledrollins.com; christopherspitzmiller.com
