EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

A few months ago, we had an out-of-town guest who, when asked what he’d like to do while in Palm Beach, insisted on seeing the Mizners. It is, he said, “the DNA of Palm Beach,” and it’s so true. Being steeped in Addison Mizner’s architectural legacy every day, we sometimes forget how lucky we are to have so many of these treasures—50 in Palm Beach alone, according to our sources—in our midst.

Our Home & Design issue was the right time to cast a spotlight on one of the great Mizner houses. Louwana—so named for its former owner, Marie Louise Wanamaker Munn—was a bit of a time capsule when Lisa and Mehmet Oz bought it in 2015. The architecture was almost entirely original, down to the open-air Venetian staircase that led to the bedrooms. The Ozes restored every space with integrity and reverence for history, modernizing while preserving the essence of the architect’s vision. With the help of restoration architect Tom Kirchhoff and the design mastery of Mimi McMakin and her Kemble Interiors team, Louwana shined once again. Turn to “History Repeats” on page 72 to tour this most magnificent of Palm Beach houses.

Great design extends to contemporary times too, and Palm Beach County is full of modern treasures to behold. To demonstrate this, we tapped into the creative minds of leading local designers, asking each of them to share a favorite recent project and tell us what makes it great. Their inspirations and resultant designs were as varied as fingerprints, which is part of the fun. Ready for the eye candy?

Flip to “Highlight Reel” on page 80.

Our homage to home is stamped throughout the issue, so I invite you to dive into pages like “Literati” (page 42), where we highlight our favorite design books; “Heritage” (page 128), where you’ll learn all about Palm Beach’s residential islets; and “New & Now” (starting on page 29), where we explore African-inspired home goods, modern homesteading, and the newest finds at West Palm Beach’s Antique Row. I was inspired by much of what our editors discovered, and I know you will be, too.

Wishing you a beautiful October and season ahead!

rench sophistication meets African soul in the designs of recent Boca Raton transplant Josiane Raphael, founder of Ebotan Interiors. “Ebotan” translates to “blessings” in Bulu, her native language—and with nearly 30 years of experience behind her, the Cameroonborn, Parisian-trained designer counts many. Her portfolio spans milliondollar residential projects, palaces in Africa and France, and African embassies in Washington, D.C. “I was exposed to different European cultures early on through the influence and guidance of my parents,” says Raphael, whose father was a journalist and mother owns a school in Cameroon. She drew her first project at age 3 (all over her mother’s white linen bedding) and to this day, her process begins with a vision accompanied by a mood or memory.

Raphael’s latest creation is a line of leather goods inspired by the memory of her aunts and grandmother wearing traditional wax print fabric clothing.

“It has been a labor of love to re-create those memories of home and tradition, first in drawings, then translating those into modern designs with bold patterns and rich colors,” she says. But the result is a multifunctional line with endless color-customization options that she hopes will serve as the finishing touch in any home around the world. (ebotan.com) —Skye Sherman

rom making it big to homesteading in a small town, the Shirleys have done it all. After marrying in 2015, Brendon and Nina Shirley lived on a bus for four years as Brendon toured with Tenth Avenue North, a major Christian band formed in 2000 while its founding members attended Palm Beach Atlantic University (and, yes, named for the east-west road in Lake Worth).

When it came time to start a family, the Shirleys returned to Nina’s hometown of Jupiter. They’d previously dabbled in gardening, raised laying hens on their urban lot in Nashville, and dreamed of tending more land, but they never expected to start a farm and watch their

32

homesteading lifestyle flourish so quickly.

“Finding our land here felt like a God thing to us,” Nina recalls. “Friends of ours happened to own it before us, so it felt like we were taking on an extra-special property.”

They renovated the house, secured baby chickens (plus a Great Pyrenees named Olive to protect the flock), built a massive garden, welcomed a baby girl named River, and documented it all on Instagram. “Settling into that new season of life was chaotic at times—the dog running away because of fireworks, alligators in the pond, hurricane season, and chickens flying the coop, all while becoming a new mama—but I felt so thankful to experience it all,” Nina says.

If it sounds like a down-home fairy tale, The Design Network thought so too. The Shirleys shared their farm-building journey in a six-episode TV series called Farm to Table. “One of our best friends, Ry Cox, is a filmmaker and came to live in our house for a month in the fall of 2020,” Nina shares. “He captured our everyday life doing chores, cooking homegrown food, raising our newborn baby, venturing out into our local community, and everything in between.” Last year, they filmed another Design Network series focused on gardening tips and tricks, titled Nina’s Garden.

The more the Shirleys shared, the more they connected with others eager to dig into home gardening and homesteading. Through her business, The Dirt Academy, Nina teaches an online course about the basics of designing, building, and tending a garden in your own backyard. She also designs and builds custom garden living spaces for her clients.

“My mission is to help as many people as possible start growing their own food at home,” she says. “Tending gardens and animals is hard work, but we also feel so much peace at the end of a long day.” (thedirtacademy.com) «

AS CONNECTOR AND PROGRAMMER, GABY VITERI SEEKS TO UPLIFT WOMEN ARTISTS WITH FIRST, FEMALE

BY MARY MURRAY

Gaby Viteri is on a mission to celebrate local women in the arts.

In 2022, she hosted an all-female art show and called it “First, Female.” That idea has snowballed into a community of West Palm Beach–area artists striving to elevate representation and build connections. Viteri and the board members of First, Female plan to accomplish just that through gallery exhibitions, studio visits, special events, and more. This month, Viteri is mounting a show entitled “Pink Waves” at the West Palm Beach studio of her co-curator, Sarah LaPierre. A portion of proceeds from art sales and related programing (including a wellness panel, workshops, and a makers market) will benefit the Promise Fund of Florida, which helps women overcome financial and cultural barriers to access breast and cervical health care. PBI caught up with Viteri to discuss the exhibit and more. (instagram.com/firstfemalepb)

local, we’re working.

There’s beauty in numbers, [and] there are so many of us here in Palm Beach County. There are some important artists here, and they get overlooked. When we’re all together showing something like “Pink Waves,” it’s hard to overlook.

What does pink represent to you?

The pink concept came 100 percent from my co-curator, Sarah LaPierre of Thick Paint. To me, it represents femininity, girl power. Especially right now, we’re having a Barbie moment. For us, it was tied into women’s wellness with it being Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And it is really just a fun color that I see a lot of the artists themselves leaning into. [Pink] doesn’t have to mean anything except for what we want

PBI: What does elevated female representation in the arts mean to you?

Viteri: I am very inspired by the Guerrilla Girls.

Their art is about statistics of female versus male. What’s in museums? Who are the collectors? What are we paying for? I’ve been very fortunate to see them speak twice, and that led me to ask these questions. Representation at this point means female, because the statistics are so pathetic of how many women are represented in the art world in general and how much people pay for women artists compared to male. The disparity is crazy. We’re here, we’re 34

it to mean. I think that, again, it’s the power of numbers. I wanted to see how 22 women would interpret this color that has been such an integral part of being brought up as a female.

Do you feel like there’s a West Palm Beach aesthetic?

There certainly is. It’s a very Florida aesthetic.

It’s very different than the Palm Beach aesthetic, which everyone thinks about when they think about the area. That’s another thing that I’m very passionate about—to be able to distinguish one from the other. West Palm Beach has been having this creative movement for a long time and people have taken notice. The aesthetic is fun, colorful, and very Florida.

What advice would you give young women looking to break into a creative field?

Just do it. Push. Find a community, find a mentor, find someone who’s doing what you’re doing and just see how they do it. Ask questions, because more than likely they’re going to be very happy to answer. That’s the whole point; find a mirror to see what other people are doing so that you know that you can also do it.

LEADING WITH GRACE HOW ONE LOCAL PASTOR IS HELPING STUDENT ATHLETES BUILD CHARACTER AND PREPARE FOR BRIGHT FUTURES

BY SAM KERRIGAN

Guided by his faith and love for his community, Pastor Scott Arnold is on a mission to help student athletes become the best versions of themselves, both on and off the field. “Kids are so valuable, and they need to be instilled with certain principles because they’re our future,” Arnold says.

Arnold served as a youth minister in Palm Beach County for many years, but he hit a transitional point in life in 2008.

“I went to the pier in Juno Beach and journaled and spent time with God in my own way,” he recalls. “I feel like he directly gave me Team Sports Ministries.”

He started Team Sports Ministries (TSM) alongside his late wife, Nicole. The nonprofit centers around a characterdevelopment program that teaches local teens the importance of respect, teamwork, honesty, empathy, resilience, and excellence. TSM works directly with student athletes at William T. Dwyer, Cardinal Newman, Palm Beach Gardens, and Jupiter high schools, with the mission to better equip them to tackle whatever comes their way, Arnold explains.

“No matter what happens, they have the type of character to keep them going, to keep moving forward.”

For Jupiter High senior Luke Douglas, his meetings with “Pastor Scott” are really making a difference. “Depending on what he talks about, I feel fuller and more focused on 38

what I need to work on and things our team has to work on together to get stronger,” says Douglas, who is quarterback of the football team; his younger brother, Preston, is one of his teammates. Arnold is “really there for everybody,” Douglas adds. “He doesn’t narrow in on one or two people.

He’s there to help all of us and to lead with God’s plan.”

KIDS ARE SO Arnold has three daughters of his own, but he views the VALUABLE, students he mentors as part of his family. His goal is to AND THEY make sure all his kids feel supported. “It’s important for me NEED TO BE to let these guys know that I’m there for them and that God INSTILLED loves them and cares for them,” he says. “That’s what we’re WITH CERTAIN all about; that’s the DNA of Team Sports Ministries.”

LIVING WITH IVEY

QUIT IT

HOW TO KICK YOUR SUGAR CRAVINGS TO THE CURB

BY IVEY LEIDY PHOTOGRAPHY BY KENT ANDERSON

Whether caused by sleep deprivation, a hangover, stress, or hormones, we all crave sugar from time to time. But we do ourselves a disservice when we give in and reach for the ice cream or candy bar.

Although that initial bite satisfies, it sets off the blood sugar spike-andcrash cycle, leading to side effects 40

such as fatigue, irritability, and more sugar cravings.

In some cases, there may be more fueling those cravings. Gut dysbiosis (an imbalance between good and bad bacteria) or an overgrowth of yeast can contribute to them, as well. Pre- and probiotic foods or a probiotic supplement can help balance your microbiome.

Sugar cravings may also indicate certain nutrient deficiencies, more specifically zinc and magnesium, so incorporating zinc- and magnesium-rich foods into your diet can be beneficial, too.

If you find yourself a slave to your sugar habit, there are certain tips and tricks you can employ, like tongue scraping. When you eat, food particles are left behind on your

taste buds and commingle with the natural bacteria in your mouth to create a coating on your tongue.

Whether they be from salty snacks or sugary sweets, those particles send signals to your brain that you want more of that food. A tongue scraper can remove this coating and the cravings that come with it.

One’s diet also plays a key role in sugar cravings. Fiber, for instance, slows down the absorption of sugar, reducing further cravings and keeping you satiated. Next time you reach for something sweet, choose fiber-rich berries instead. Naturally sweet foods, such as berries, sweet potatoes, and dark chocolate (at least 70 percent cacao), are all good alternatives since they won’t lead to the spike.

Furthermore, if you’re jonesing for something sweet and sugary, it’s usually your body telling you that you need energy, i.e. carbohydrates.

Be mindful of those cues and try snacking on crispy chickpeas, whole grains like oats, or fruits and veggies to keep cravings at bay. We can even confuse thirst for hunger; next time you feel a pang or craving, chug a glass of water and re-evaluate.

Finally, be sure to incorporate healthy fats into your diet, as they will help to keep you satiated and prevent blood sugar spikes. And remember to read your labels, as a vast majority of packaged processed foods have added sugars.

Welcome HOME

IT TAKES TWO DYNAMIC DUO As one of Palm Beach’s “big five” architects, John Volk was instrumental in creating the posh paradise we know and love. His wife, Jane, was equally influential in preserving the town’s historic allure. In Palm Beach Style: The Architecture and Advocacy of John and Jane Volk (Rizzoli, $65), a new release from the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach, historian Jane S. Day illuminates the impact this monumental pair had on the island, from The Royal Poinciana Plaza to the renovation of the Everglades Club.

Palm Beach native Jennifer Ash Rudick guides readers through an opulent and lush world in The Palm Beach Collection (Abrams Books, $150), slated for release October 17. Across two tomes, Palm Beach Living and Palm Beach Chic, Rudick shares 50 exceptional homes by established and emerging architects, as captured by photographers Nick Mele and Jessica Klewicki Glynn.

DIVINE DECO The Palm Beaches have a rich array of architecture, including prime examples of Art Deco. Sharon Koskoff presents a comprehensive view of the style and its local characteristics in Art Deco of the Palm Beaches (Arcadia Publishing, $22). While originally published in 2007, the book remains a valuable guide to the Art Deco wonders that dot the downtown districts of West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and Lake Worth Beach.

FOLLOW THE “SPORT OF KINGS” TO THESE THREE TOURNAMENTS ON THE HIGH-GOAL POLO CIRCUIT

BY PAUL RUBIO

What began as a war game in Central Asia during 600 B.C., polo grew into an exclusive society sport during the first century, popular among royalty and privileged classes. By the late-nineteenth century, membership-based polo clubs were established across the United Kingdom, the United States, and Argentina to formally organize competitions, subsequently fostering polo associations to preside over the clubs.

ARGENTINE OPEN POLO CHAMPIONSHIP The be-all and end-all of global polo events, the Argentine Polo Open Championship in Buenos Aires attracts the sport’s highest-ranked players to compete among 10 teams over an entire month, culminating with a final match that awards the world’s most coveted polo trophy.

THE SNOW POLO WORLD CUP ST. MORITZ Back in 1985, polo circles in St. Moritz threw a curveball by introducing a more challenging winter incarnation: snow polo. While it’s now played around the world, the Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz remains the world’s only high-goal snow polo tournament, ending in the battle for the Cartier Trophy.

Nowadays, the tournament unfolds over three days ( January 26-28, 2024), with a hefty roster of social happenings buffering matches

begins October 31 and ends December 2.

The action takes place in the upscale Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires at Campo Argentino de Polo, dubbed the “Cathedral of Polo” thanks to its century-long history and the storied matches that have transpired therein. Given the cathedral’s capacity of 30,000 and the fact that the sport is deeply embedded into Argentinian culture, expect a very vocal and lively crowd of nationals plus international polo, social, and political royalty. With the tournament’s timing near the start of the South American summer, spectators tend to dress casually—men in polos and shorts, ladies in designer jeans and blouses or dresses. Come nightfall, however, the polo crowd glams it up at invitationonly pre- and post-game parties, held in Buenos Aires’ most exclusive bars and clubs and at private homes. (aapolo.com)

THE CARTIER QUEEN’S CUP Taking place annually in late spring (the final game will be June 16, 2024), the United Kingdom’s premier polo tournament is a 22goal competition, where the world’s greatest teams face off over three weeks, leading up to the grand prize: the Cartier Queen’s Cup. The championship occurs at Guards Polo Club, in the center of Surrey’s Windsor Great Park.

Prince Philip served as president of Guards Polo Club from its inception in 1955 until his death in 2021. Today, the 130-acre club has the most members and largest number of playing fields of any polo club in Europe.

The “sport of kings” takes on its true meaning here, with regular attendance by royals; the Queen herself historically made an appearance on the finals day through 2019 and

For the ultimate people watching, score tickets to observe from the Duke’s Pavilion or the Royal Box, where you will hobnob with the glitterati as well as sports stars. And prepare to dress to the nines—the global trend toward a more casual polo scene has yet to reach the Queen’s Cup. The general crowd’s attire easily rivals what the celebrities wear, with a mélange of pastel hues, floral prints, frilly dresses, statement headgear, and fanciful hats erupting from the stands.

TROPICAL DREAMSCAPE

LOCATED ACROSS FROM ST. JOHN’S FAMED CANEEL BAY, LOVANGO RESORT & BEACH CLUB BALANCES PRIVATE ISLAND CALM WITH RUM-SPIKED FUN AND REWARDING NATURE PURSUITS

BY PAUL RUBIO

Thursday afternoon: Fly into St. Thomas and transfer by road to Red Hook, where you’ll hop on a 10-minute ferry to Lovango Resort & Beach Club. At this private island hideaway, eco-chic wooden treehouses and explorer-style tented rooms rise on the north slope, overlooking uninhabited Congo Cay, a pristine bird refuge cloaked in native flora and surrounded by jewel-toned waters that morph from topaz to emerald in the blink of an eye. Nooks for lounging abound (including an outdoor sunken living room in each treehouse and a daybed under canvas in each tent) while screen windows and louver doors ensure vistas shine from all angles.

Thursday night: Refresh in your outdoor rain shower before hopping on the water shuttle to Cruz Bay, St. John, for a bit of boutique browsing and dinner. Reserve a beachside table at La Tapa, a foodie institution since 1996, serving Spanish-tinged international cuisine.

Friday morning: Rise and shine for a short morning hike around the island. Take the BVI trail for views that span British Virgin Islands Jost Van Dyke and Tortola plus several uninhabited cays. Continue down to Crescent Beach, watching pelicans dive bomb for fresh catch and keeping an eye out for any dolphins or turtles that may surface. Then, head back uphill to the Treetops Lobby Tent at Lovango’s

apex, where breakfast is served daily. Naturally, there are more jaw-dropping vistas here— this time near-aerial views of St. John and St. Thomas in a single frame. Ogle them while feasting on a spread of croissants, quiche, fruit, cappuccino, and more. Note: A concierge is stationed at the tent during breakfast hours to help guests plan the day ahead.

Friday afternoon: It’s now time to relax in the sun. Lovango’s strength lies in its virgin beauty, which comes with the upsides of spectacular panoramas and aquamarine waters as well as the reality of rocky and gold-sand beaches. While many are content with languid days of full-service on the natural grounds

Saturday afternoon: Enjoy an easy afternoon, feet in the sand, at the Beach Club, either on a coral-colored bean bag, an umbrella-capped lounger, or a cabana couch. Have a beachfront lunch at Lovango’s fast-casual Sand Pit, where highlights include coconut-seasoned tuna poke and garlicky lobster flatbread with Boursin and bechamel. Alternatively, ask the concierge to arrange a safari taxi to another National Park beach for a day of exploration on land or under the water. (Do both at Cinnamon Bay Beach, first meandering through sugar mill ruins and then heading to America Hill to swim in the gin-clear waters.)

Saturday night: Return to Waterfront Café for your final dinner, savoring the other items that likely caught your eye Friday night (hello, sea urchin gnocchi).

Pre-order Sunday breakfast to your room for your final morning and bring a night cap back to your treehouse or tent to enhance an evening of phenomenal stargazing. Void of light pollution, the skies above Lovango put on a celestial spectacular. As you sip your cocktail, let your mind drift to a fantasy galaxy far, far away—or simply revere the one you’re currently in. (lovangovi.com) «

The protected, bone-white beach is one of the dreamiest in the entire Caribbean.

Friday night: Indulge in elevated island cuisine at the resort’s Waterfront Café.

Start with a smoked pineapple rum oldfashioned at the bar, then continue under the braided lights and towering turpentine trees fronting the ocean. Order the golden beet terrine, a delicate stack of the sweet root vegetable sprinkled with goat cheese over a salad of arugula, basil, charred onion, and crushed almonds with a burnt honeylime dressing. Next, opt for the signature Caribbean lobster schnitzel, a pounded and tenderized lobster tail, breaded and panfried, served over blistered red potatoes, and topped with lobster-cognac butter and an apple and fennel slaw. Keep the night going by joining fellow island dwellers at the weekly Sip + Stars party.

Saturday morning: After breakfast in the Treetops Lobby Tent, don a mask and snorkel and explore the marine life that thrives on both sides of Lovango (the concierge can indicate the best spots).

STYLISH Stay LUXE BOUTIQUE VIBES ABOUND AT KISSIMMEE’S ETTE HOTEL

BY KRISTEN DESMOND LEFEVRE

When hotelier Alex Ekbatani set out to create a contemporary luxury hotel group, he chose a spot that admittedly conjures images of theme park kitsch. But if Ette Hotel (an acronym for earthy, true, timeless, and elegant) is Ekbatani’s prototype, then great things are to come from future outposts.

Though Ette Hotel is minutes from Orlando’s theme parks (situated just 3 miles from Disney’s Animal Kingdom), the 126room property is worlds away from the area’s typical kiddie-centric hotels. Here, guests are treated to a refined escape. Consider: a lobby done in Calacatta marble and adorned with a

64

glass-encased mannequin sporting Alexander McQueen couture, a book room housing shelves of art tomes from Taschen, and a laundry “museum” showcasing meticulously laundered and folded Frette linens. Pause for a moment to watch Ette’s staff in action behind the glass and you might learn how to master the fitted sheet fold yourself.

Ette styles itself as a high-end wellness hotel aimed at nurturing mind, body, and soul. For the full experience, book a wellness suite, complete with a Peloton bike and Technogym weights. The jewel box of a spa boasts two treatment rooms and a lounge outfitted with antigravity cocoons and an array of pampering options featuring products

by Natura Bissé and Tammy Fender.

And then there’s the food. Head to Ette’s rooftop to dine at Lipa, Michelin-starred chef Akira Back’s modern Japanese concept offering sushi, sunset views, and a DJ spinning tracks on weekends.

But it’s Back’s main restaurant on property, Salt & the Cellar, that wows, remixing modern Asian influences with Mediterranean cuisine. The menu emphasizes dishes made with nutrient-dense, whole ingredients, like the miso-glazed black cod and the spinach ohitashi salad. But there are indulgences, too, like the gochujang-smothered Wagyu tacos and the togarashi fries with a house-made sriracha-ranch for dipping.

In the spirit of wellness, Ette Hotel is alcohol-free. A BYOB policy (with zero corking fees) is in place for guests who want more proof power. But for the sober and sobercurious, master mixologist Jarl de Vries has curated an impressive menu of zero-alcohol mocktails. Full of whimsy, color, and drama, the libations are theatrically presented tableside with dry ice, flickers of fire, and finishing aromatic spritzes. Order the Moon Child (made from watermelon shrub, lime, agave, lavender saline, and lavender aromatic mist) and have your phone’s camera set to video mode when your beverage arrives atop a bird’s nest, emitting a misty cloud of lavender-scented vapor.

On Sundays, don’t miss afternoon tea in Ette Hotel’s Missoni-lined garden. Choose from an extensive list of teas by Mariage Frères, while noshing on such traditional fare as finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and mini pastries.

Whether you’ve spent the weekend riding coasters across town or hunkering down to take in all the amenities that Ette Hotel has to offer, you’re sure to depart feeling rested, rejuvenated, and yearning to return. (ettehotels.com) «

THE NEXT Great Disrupter GENESIS ENTERS A NEW ERA OF LUXURY WITH ITS EXQUISITE G90 FLAGSHIP SEDAN

BY HOWARD WALKER

C

osseting is good, right? Being cosseted in the back seat of the new Genesis G90 flagship is right up there with a day at a Canyon Ranch spa, minus the hot mud treatment (it messes up the leather). But with the seatback reclined to near horizontal, the business jet–style footrest raised, and the seat massager cranked up to full Helga, the term “hedonistic” comes to mind.

Want a little of Sade’s soothing “Smooth Operator” to help send you to slumberland? Fire up the 26-speaker Bowers & Wilkins 3D surround sound and then select one of three in-cabin fragrances—I’m partial to the Great Outdoors aroma—to complete the mood.

It’s not just the rear seats that are relaxing. This latest G90 rides on a cushion of air springs and features cameras that read the road ahead to 66

prepare the suspension for any lumps or bumps. Riding on clouds of fluffy cumulus wouldn’t be softer.

This is Hyundai-owned Genesis wanting a piece of the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class, Audi A8 action. In fact, Genesis is a lot like Lexus was back in 1989, when it debuted the groundbreaking LS400 sedan. At the time, Lexus was just a newbie division of Toyota, yet it completely disrupted the luxury car industry. The Genesis G90 is also poised to become a disrupter.

It certainly has the looks. Genesis does big grilles well, and the shiny, shield-like whopper on the G90 will spin heads faster than a Beyoncé sighting at Bergdorf’s. It’s complemented by wafer-thin split headlights encrusted with teeny LEDs that, together with the grille, resemble the Genesis logo. Clever.

For the driver, it’s all old-school intuition. There’s no insanely complex touch screen, no annoying warning-beep technology that’s now the norm. The Genesis is more about ease of use and less about needing a degree in computer science just to program the navigation system.

Under that sprawling hood sits a new version of Genesis’ proven 3.5-liter turbo V6, with the addition of an electric there are no plans to offer the powerpack in the flagship G. Nevertheless, this fossil-fueled G90 is still a dream to drive. It steers supercharger. The thinking here is that when you step on the gas it takes a few milliseconds for the turbocharger to deliver boost. With an with precision, with the helm having just the right amount of feel. The electric-driven supercharger, you get instant low-speed torque before body roll through curves is well contained, and the ride comfort with those air springs is otherworldly. the turbos kick in.

While all this is the epitome of smoothness, sadly it’s not electric, $99,795 with few options to be had.

No, it still doesn’t have quite the same prestige and curb appeal of which is the new benchmark of ultimate refinement. Genesis does a Mercedes S500, nor the price tag. But if you dare to be different, this make a terrific electrified G80 (kid brother to the 90) with a 282-mile range, 365 hp, and more thrust than a Saturn rocket.

COOL BRITANNIA FAIRLINE YACHTS HAS WON THE SPACE RACE WITH ITS NEW PHANTOM 65 SPORTBRIDGE

Y

ar. Now that’s a good word to describe a cool boat. It was how Sarah Jessica Parker defined a sleek, racy sailboat in the 2006 rom-com Failure to Launch with Matthew McConaughey: “She certainly is yar.”

68

BY HOWARD WALKER

This utterance was most likely a callback to the 1940 film The Philadelphia Story and Katharine Hepburn’s reminiscence on her old boat: “My, she was yar.”

According to the folks at Merriam-Webster, “yar” refers to a boat that’s speedy, nimble, agile, and ready for action. It’s a perfect term for the new Phantom 65 sports cruiser from Britain’s Fairline Yachts that I’ve been putting through its paces in the feisty briny just off Fort Lauderdale.

Fairline describes it as a “sportbridge,” which is kind of like a flybridge but with a smaller, more compact open space up top, so as to enhance the boat’s sporty

lines. And what lines they are; the way that raked windshield flows into the sportbridge in a rolling, wave-like swoosh is just gorgeous.

If this 65-footer looks vaguely familiar, it might be because the window-rich hull and lower deck are evocative of Fairline’s popular Targa 65 enclosed sports coupe, which Italian master Alberto Mancini designed back in 2016. For this new Phantom, however, Fairline’s in-house team evolved the shape, adding that sportbridge with an upper helm, creating an extra-large transom garage, and completely reimagining the interior.

What the Fairline offers in abundance is a brilliant use of space. Below decks there’s a choice of either three or four en-suite cabins, with a full-beam master suite that looks like something out of a Four Seasons or W hotel.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

068_HIGHSEAS_1023.indd 68

8/25/23 10:10 AM

Not to be outdone, the rear swim deck opens to reveal a space big enough to swallow an 11-foot Williams Sportjet 345 tender.

Climb the teak steps up to the flybridge— sorry, sportbridge—and there’s room for a dozen or more guests. There’s also an outdoor kitchen plus two bucket seats for the helm, a U-shaped sofa opposite, and a big L-shaped sofa with a table. Stroll up to the bow and it’s suntanning central, with two oversize sun pads and another U-shaped, near-full-beam sofa for alfresco dining or sunset cocktails.

Back in the cockpit, at the press of a couple buttons, the big glass doors will slide to the side and a window will drop down to open into the galley and salon. One real highlight of the salon is the deep, full-width sunroof above the lower helm that lets in fresh air and gives a great view for stargazing.

Powering the Phantom is either a pair of Caterpillar C18 turbo diesels with 1,150 hp apiece or the optional—and, frankly, must-

vague to inspire ultimate confidence. But even punching through 3- to 4-foot swells, the cruiser comes across as unfazed. It’s a pity we’re not headed for the Bahamas, because this new Fairline would be there in a couple hours of relaxed, laid-back cruising.

As for pricing, a well-equipped base boat will set you back around $4.4 million. Our test boat with the optional Cat C32s—a $250,000 upgrade—stickers at $5,250,000. Want one now? Fort Lauderdale Fairline dealer Nautical Ventures will sell you this very yacht.

No question about it: She sure is yar. «

HISTORY REPEATS THE OZ FAMILY LEADS THE CHARGE TO RESTORE ONE OF PALM BEACH’S MOST BEAUTIFUL, ECCENTRIC, AND HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT HOMES

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH | HOME PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICKOLAS SARGENT | PORTRAITS BY NICK MELE

G

rowing up, sisters Lisa and Laura Lemole spent countless days at their grandmother’s home on Casa Bendita at the north end of Palm Beach. They created a game while playing on the beach where each girl would choose the house they wished to live in as adults. Laura would always pick Amado, an estate that Addison Mizner designed for entrepreneur and socialite Charles Munn in 1919. Lisa’s heart, however, belonged to the white house next door to Amado that, to her, felt “like a castle.”

That Mediterranean Revival home carried its own rich past. Charles’ brother, Gurnee Munn, and his wife, Marie Louise Wanamaker Munn (whose family founded the Philadelphia-based Wanamaker department stores), commissioned Mizner to design their house, too. The estate, which sits on a 1.2-acre lot and boasts 150 feet of private beachfront, was ultimately named Louwana, a contraction of Marie Louise’s name.

Addison Mizner designed Louwana, a historic Mediterranean Revival estate home in Palm Beach situated on a 1.2-acre lot with 150 feet of private beachfront. The Oz family is responsible for its restoration.

The new light, airy kitchen serves as an ideal communal space with expansive beach views and room for cooking and informal dining.

Louwana, in all its magnificence, has been an elusive get through the years. The descendants of the original owners kept the home in the family for nearly a century. That would all change in 2006, when then-owner Aimée de Heeren (a Brazilian socialite, secret service agent, and widow of John Wanamaker’s great grandson, Rodman Arturo Heeren) passed away at the age of 103. Two years later, for the first time ever, Louwana was available for sale.

At this point, Lisa Lemole had become Lisa Oz, a best-selling author and on-air personality. In 1985, she had married Dr. Mehmet Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon who would ultimately bring complementary medicine to the masses through books, TV appearances, and his own nationally syndicated health show.

The couple had four children together.

Lisa’s parents had a history of home ownership on Palm Beach, and trips to visit them 74

gave Mehmet the opportunity to fall as much in love with the island as Lisa had always been.

“Palm Beach offers an irresistible elegance, with the unique architecture of its historic homes abutting the raw beauty of its beaches,” says Mehmet. “Louwana is the culmination of a century of creation and preservation, and it reflects our family’s respect for tradition and beauty. We have traveled through the parts of southern Spain occupied by the Moors and appreciate this influence in Mizner’s architecture.”

The Louwana that the Ozes purchased in 2015 was largely untouched architecturally from what Mizner had originally envisioned.

The most significant changes were made following the powerful hurricane of 1928, when the entry was relocated and the current living room, primary bedroom suite, and signature stairway were added. In the 1930s, Maurice

Fatio’s firm augmented the property’s courtyard, building a new pool, loggia, and tennis house. The Town of Palm Beach designated Louwana as a landmark in 1980.

While Lisa wanted to preserve Mizner’s aesthetic, the lack of structural modernization resulted in a few issues. “I would have left it exactly like it was if it wasn’t unlivable,” she notes.

The first issue was that the Venetian staircase, while gorgeous, was open to the elements. The only interior staircase was in the service wing and measured just 2 feet wide.

Given the frequency of rain in South Florida and the fact that the Ozes have four grandchildren, indoor stairs were a must. Another necessity was central air.

They enlisted Tom Kirchhoff of Kirchhoff & Associates Architects to lead the renovation, with the understanding that the key was

The dining room conveys a sense of grandeur and scale, with doors that open to a terrace and lawn.

Kirchhoff & Associates Architects led the roughly three-and-a-half-year-long renovation, with a focus on restoring structural integrity while preserving the home’s unique Mizner characteristics.

to ensure structural integrity while protecting as much of the Mizner soul as possible.

The renovation project (which lasted roughly three and a half years) would prove that this goal was easier to achieve in certain sections than others.

“As we uncovered areas of the primary suite, we discovered that the west portion of the south wing had serious structural issues,” says Kirchhoff. “In fact, it was collapsing in on itself. In the past, when alterations were made, bearing walls had been removed. New loads were not supported, relying instead on an inadequate non-load-bearing wall to sustain them. From the roof down to the foundation, we had to restructure the entire wing.”

The Town of Palm Beach’s Landmarks Preservation Commission granted Kirchhoff and his team approval to restore the primary spaces, including the living room, dining room, primary bedroom, original guest bedrooms, and the open-air stairway, while adding an interior family stair in what was 76

previously a staff area. They were also able to retain the general layout of the property, including the entry courtyard, pool, tennis court, and beach cabana.

The Ozes are a foodie family (Lisa and daughter Daphne are both cookbook authors), so the kitchen was of significant im-

portance. When the Ozes purchased the home, the kitchen was staff-oriented and divided into three sections: a giant butler’s pantry, a little cooking area, and eating and sleeping quarters for the staff. While the old kitchen was certainly not a place to congregate, the new kitchen is a light and airy

communal space with an expansive view of the beach and room for cooking and informal dining.

The basement-level entry, which was relocated to the south side post-hurricane to create a shared driveway with Amado, meant visitors accessed the home via a courtyard that led up to the dining room, living room, and library.

“After entering the front door, you had to go outside in the exterior stairwell to go back inside,” explains Lisa.

“Then there were five French doors going in toward the east and then a door on the north and a door on the south. When you came in, you didn’t know which door went into the house. It was very absurd and the feng shui was way off.”

To remedy this, Kirchhoff incorporated front doors that open into a foyer created out of what was once the library.

“Now there is an actual entry to the house,” Lisa continues.

“It’s grounded and the flow of energy comes in and knows in what direction to go.”

With the restoration of the structure underway, the Ozes brought in Kemble Interiors to orchestrate the interior design. The fact that they purchased the home furnished added another level of excitement to the process and aided in the quest to maintain its historic integrity. Each generation who had previously lived in the mansion, from the Munns through to fashion icon Aimée de Heeren, had left behind their individual sense of style.

“It’s not all consistent with Mizner, per se,” Lisa says. “It’s a little microcosm of Palm Beach culture, with things from every period of Palm Beach style.”

78

The Kemble Interiors team was tasked with creating a cohesive blend of preserved elements and new accents. “Lisa and Mehmet very much wanted to stay true to the original Mizner aesthetic in the public spaces of the house,” explains Mackenzie Hodgson of Kemble Interiors. “This was the thread that wove everything together.”

In these public spaces, the designers called upon vernacular materials such as pecky cypress on the ceilings and terra-cotta tiles for the floors, explains Hodgson. They countered the cranky texture of pecky cypress with velvets and other plush fabrics. They utilized updated prints to give the vintage dark wood furniture a fashionable upgrade.

“Everything is balanced,” adds Hodgson.

“We kept the walls painted white in the majority of the rooms to allow an easy flow from room to room. With painted walls, we relied on patterned and textured fabrics to imbue the spaces with color and richness.”

And they were excited to find a road map of sorts when it came to the home’s original artwork. “We discovered that on the backs of paintings, someone had written where it used to be hung,” says Mimi McMakin, principal of Kemble Interiors. “When it came time to hang art again, it was delightful to find each piece’s final nesting place.”

The proportions that Mizner employed in the living room and dining room convey a

The estate offers ample space for gatherings, including the pool area (inset) and loggia (opposite page), which showcases vivid colors set against the backdrop of a large landscape mural.

“It’s not all consistent with Mizner, per se. It’s a little microcosm of Palm Beach culture, with things from every period of Palm Beach style.” —Lisa Oz definite sense of grandness and scale. “If a room tells you how to behave, these rooms make you want to throw a party,” says McMakin. “Both rooms have sweeping views of the ocean and doors that can be flung open to a terrace and an expanse of lawn. The rooms retain the same character as they always have. If the walls could talk, they would reverberate the sounds of Champagne bottles being opened, gregarious chatter, and laughter.”

While Louwana pulsates with more than a hundred years of memories, these renovations represent a new chapter for the storied property. As with all successful transformations, McMakin and Kirchhoff agree that this facelift has managed to both honor the architect’s original intentions for the house and evolve to suit the current occupants.

“The house was originally a brother house to the house south of it … with the common theme of families mingling be-

tween both houses,” says McMakin. “The idea that this property is built for family is fitting with the Ozes’ lifestyle. When the house is in use, the family is enjoying the beach, tennis court, and swimming pool.

This Mediterranean and Spanish Revival house has long been part of Palm Beach’s architectural heritage. [It] is as eccentric in its intricacies as Mizner himself.”

For the Ozes, it is Louwana’s comfort and approachability that make it feel like home. From the refreshed kitchen where the family often gathers, to the beachside cabana where Mehmet spends most mornings practicing yoga, Louwana has a warm, inviting personality that encourages creativity, expression, and togetherness.

“She makes you feel like you can run through the dining room or living room with your shoes off and sand between your toes,” says Lisa. “It’s a comfortable house, but at the same time still elegant. It’s like wearing a party dress with bare feet.” «

Kirchhoff and his team fully restored the circular, open-air courtyard staircase, which Mizner modeled after one he saw in Venice.

ISLAND STYLE Interior designer Scott Sanders’ very own cabana is perhaps best described as a Palm Beach oasis. Upon entering this transportive space, one cannot help but to sit back, relax, and take in the ocean views and tropical ambience. The cabana “features inspiration from the 1970s, with a mix of contemporary pieces and pops of colors that make it feel

fresh and current for today,” explains Sanders. Cobalt blue tiles and light fixtures, turquoise upholstery, and even a green dachshund figurine (an homage to Sanders’ dog, Bailey) exude a palpable energy, while the bamboo, wicker, and rattan elements elevate this inviting coastal getaway.

AMONG THE STARS This living room

by Gil Walsh of Gil Walsh Interiors is a conversation starter, complete with pieces that individually have something unique to say while also conveying a united sense of poised playfulness.

Walsh’s color palette balances hints of turquoise and citron alongside lighter blues, ivories, and grays. “We were able to lighten and brighten the space while making the interiors harmonious with the architecture,” Walsh describes.

“We added modern fixtures with a mid-century feel to work with the geometry of the space,” such as the glamorous starbursts that imbue intrigue without stealing attention from the furnishings below. (gwifl.com) PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | OCTOBER 2023

Game rooms should be fun—it’s practically a prerequisite—but Sara McCann of McCann Design Group has proven that they can be equally stylish.

“The intention of this space is to be a game room lounge for a family to gather and enjoy a movie, play pool, curl up with a book, or have a drink,” says McCann. Color gives this rec room its warmth and whimsy, with brilliant greens and rich caramels offsetting the soothing white cypress walls and ceilings. McCann used the Palmetto fabric

by Carolina Irving Textiles as a jumpingoff point, pairing it with the viridian Winnie lamps from Porto Romano to further enhance the tropical color scheme and the room’s overall sense of luxurious comfort. (mccanndesigngroup.com)

Katherine Shenaman of Katherine Shenaman Interiors channeled her inner child when crafting this feminine nursery. Shenaman reveals that while “the client’s style has evolved over the years into a fresh and modern aesthetic,” rooms for children can still convey fun and a certain youthful grace. The room is all about rosy pink, as seen in the mesmerizing Bradley USA wallpaper and the area rug from Wendy Clark Designs. The nursery’s whimsical refinement is best embodied in the rabbit chair set by Stefano Giovannoni. They’re perfect for the space, notes Shenaman, as her client’s daughters “love to play on the bunnies, each with their own size model.” (shenaman.com)

This Bali-inspired kitchen outshines more run-of-the-mill designs with its “earthy and modern” elegance, from the gorgeous banana bark chandeliers

CONTEMPORARY GLAMOUR

Sophisticated modernity and Palm Beach opulence come together in this dining room by Angela Reynolds of Angela Reynolds Designs, in collaboration with Smith Architectural Group and Davis General Contracting. Classic architecture gets a contemporary edge with black fluted, low-sheen lacquer columns at each corner. The custom dining table featuring silver-leaf banding can be separated and arranged to suit the homeowner’s intentions. The showstopper in the room is a pair of chandeliers by innovative lighting designer John Pomp. Pomp’s sculptural creations are made with handblown glass clusters, each adorned with around 200 threads of molten glass. Reynolds says the fixtures “effortlessly balance functionality and elegance, illuminating the space with their radiant presence while preserving the captivating vista of the ocean beyond.” (angelareynolds.com)

LETTING IN THE LIGHT

Upon first viewing this Hobe Sound home, Jim Dove of Jim Dove Design knew he wanted to focus on optimizing the natural light in the kitchen. “The surrounding gardens are lush and add a calming ambience,” Dove explains. “So, we created three windows at the front of the kitchen that provided an abundance of light streaming into the space.” This illumination enriches the crisp white accents and high-gloss white cabinetry and countertops. Meanwhile, the serene azure blues of the Sub-Zero refrigerator and custom tall cupboards lull visitors into a state of calm as they take in this seamless “blurring of lines between the outdoors and indoors,” concludes Dove.

Vince Marotta is one of the top-selling Realtors in South Florida. In fact, Marotta is the only Realtor who sold properties of more than $10 million each of the following communities: Admirals Cove, The Bear’s Club, Old Palm Golf Club, Jupiter Island, The Loxahatchee River, and directly on the Intracoastal Waterway. The No. 1 producer out of more than 700 agents for Illustrated Properties in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, Marotta is recognized as a member of Christie’s International Real Estate Masters Circle, an honor bestowed upon Christie’s top 170 agents around the world. Marotta was also ranked by RealTrends and The Wall Street Journal as one of the Top 200 Realtors in America for 2022.

In 2022, Marotta sold the most expensive property in the history of Old Palm Golf Club, and in 2023, he sold the second most expense home in the neighborhood.

Both sales were over $20 million. In 2021, Marotta sold both the most expensive estate home and homesite of the year in The Bear’s Club—a Jack Nicklaus community, widely considered one of the most prestigious addresses in the Northern Palm Beaches.

Over the 23-year sales life of The Bear’s Club, Marotta has been involved in 25 percent of the estate homesite transactions.

Marotta is also considered one of the top Realtors in the ultra-luxury condo market in the Northern Palm Beaches. He holds the distinction of being the Realtor who sold the highest priced condo in a given year in each of the Northern Palm Beach oceanfront towns.

A graduate of Yale University where he played varsity football and ran varsity track, Marotta is a true competitor and tireless worker, dedicated to the needs of his sophisticated clients.

If you think the areas surrounding the Florida Turnpike are culinary noman’s-lands where fast food chains reign supreme, think again. Located off Atlantic Avenue in western Delray Beach, the new Yakitori Sushi House is elevating on-ramp-adjacent dining with an array of authentic Japanese delights. Tina Wang and chef Jason Zheng (the same restaurateurs behind downtown Delray’s Coco Sushi Lounge and Boca’s Saiko-I Lounge & Hibachi) have crafted a compelling lunch and dinner menu dotted with top-notch standbys and delicious surprises. Take their rendition of the now-mandatory spicy tuna and crispy rice pairing: Yakitori’s Spicy Tuna Biscuit features tuna atop crispy rice crackers, layered with caviar, jalapeño, wasabi mayonnaise, and eel sauce. When takeout cravings hit, Yakitori also offers favorites such as fried rice, stir-fries, soups, robata grill skewers, classic and signature sushi rolls, and a bang bang shrimp that is worth every mayo-rich calorie.

Mamma Mia

The Fausto family crafts Italian sweets and antipasto at their deli and bakery.

Boca Raton’s Cosa Duci Italian Bakery recently opened a boutique deli in Royal Palm Place Plaza called Mercato Italiano, offering a range of specialty items imported directly from Italy. Both spots specialize in cucina povera, the old-style dishes of culinary matriarch Giovanna Fausto. The Fausto family established their bakery in 2007 and began using their culinary prowess to make an impact when Giovanna’s son was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

“Every year, we donate approximately 700 boxes of cookies to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society South Florida for the Annual MS Gala Luncheon,” says Silvia Fausto, Giovanna’s daughter and partner. “This event serves as an important gathering for individuals and organizations dedicated to raising awareness and funds for research toward finding a cure for multiple sclerosis.”

While customers can enjoy both the charity and treats

of this bakery, they can also learn how to cook them. For October, the Faustos will host classes on pumpkin biscotti, holiday ricotta lemon cookies, pappardelle pasta, and focaccia. Each lesson begins with a glass of wine or prosecco and antipasto in Cosa Duci’s dining area. (cosaduci.com, mercatoitalianobocaraton.com) —Marlowe Dunn Flom

SAVOR SIP WITH PBI

THE SPIRIT of the Season O

L IEL OV AC C S E FRANC

October is more than the sum of all its ghouls and goblins. This month celebrates quintessential fall flavors with such observances as National Pumpkin Day (October 26) and National Apple Day (October 21). Even before Halloween, you can satisfy your sweet tooth on National Cinnamon Roll Day (October 4), National Homemade Cookies Day (October 1), and National Dessert Day (October 14). Yet, if you enjoy a subtler approach to seasonal celebrations, consider embracing autumn with a darker spirit—and no, I don’t mean the eerie specter variety.

Bourbon has a complexity and spice that screams “fall” louder than any werewolf or witch ever could. It’s ideal for cozy evenings around the fire or warm gatherings with friends and family.

Bourbon’s oaky sweetness blends well with seasonal offerings such as prime harvested grapefruit and fragrant rosemary. This adaptation of the classic Brown Derby cocktail swaps honey for rosemary syrup, making for the perfect fall sipper.

THE LUXE VU, CATALINA LACKNER

FROM CIT Y TO OCEAN, THE FINE ART OF PALM BEACH LIVING

DESIGN

ORGANIC ESSENCE Delray Beach designer Kelly Martinez, of Kelly Marie Interior Design, married modern and rustic aesthetics in this stunning kitchen that exudes an organic personality.

Using a few pieces of furniture that the clients already owned as inspiration, Martinez determined a color palette and then chose complementary

materials to carry throughout the Highland Beach home.

The kitchen plays on wood elements, as seen in the natural wood under-island cabinetry and the block wood shelving that displays plates and pieces in neutral tones. A potted plant holder brings the outdoors in and accents the backsplash crafted from river rocks.

Beyond creating a beautiful space, Martinez measured the success of this project by how well it fits with the family, which includes children and pets. “We selected durable materials [such as] tile floors and porcelain fixtures,” she says. “The barstools are acrylic, so they are easy to wipe down and clean. The vibe is cozy and inviting, while also being functional for daily family life.” (kellymarieinteriordesign. com) —Liza Grant Smith

HOME INSPIRED LIVING

MAKE IT RAIN TIPS AND INSPO FOR CREATING YOUR DREAM OUTDOOR SHOWER

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

Alfresco living is practically a requirement for South Florida residency, and outdoor showers have been trending in the luxury home market for some time now.

This popularity, in turn, has bred creativity. Far beyond old-school showerheads installed in out-of-the-way exterior corners, today’s showers have taken on new roles and are now available in a wide range of styles and materials. Take a look at some of the area’s most captivating showers and learn what it takes to produce a wow-worthy water feature.

THE FUNCTIONALITY

FRANCESCO LAGNESE

When first envisioning your outdoor shower, it’s important to think through how you will use it. Will your family rinse off after a dip in the pool? Will this shower serve as an extension of your primary bathroom? While the shower may look great in a certain space in your backyard, be sure to situate it where it will be most useful. In this Lyford Cay project, designer Amanda Lindroth placed the outdoor shower near the beach and pool so that it was a convenient stop for anyone heading to the house after a swim. (amandalindrothdesign.com)

THE MATERIALS Once you’ve chosen your location, it’s time to decide whether you’d like your shower to be its own standout accent or a continuation of your home’s interior/exterior.

If it’s the former, determine the mood you would like to evoke. Glass tiles add a sophisticated feel, while wood brings an earthy, organic vibe that potted plants can further enhance. For a biophilic approach, consider camouflaging the showerhead in a green wall or vertical garden.

If you wish to have the shower reflect the home’s design, echo materials you have utilized elsewhere in your abode to create cohesiveness and flow. For example, Honeybee Designz used river rock flooring and teak paneling to tie into the finishes found throughout this coastal, modern, bohemian home.

Moor, Baker & Associates

THE DETAILS Don’t forget the odds and ends that will pull the whole space together. For instance, you’ll need a hook or a small cabinet for towels, plus a niche or shelf to store shampoo and soap.

And consider a teak shower seat where you can rest while showering or place belongings such as a cover-up.

BRANTLEY PHOTOGRAPHY

When designing your outdoor shower, opt for as much or as little privacy as you feel comfortable with. That being said, privacy features present another opportunity to add visual intrigue. High cutouts and/or an open-air top can provide a view, while still obscuring the view of you. At this Vero Beach home, Moor, Baker & Associates (moorarch. com) employed lattice work and other architectural details to deliver sunlit gazebo coverage. A door is another easy way to enhance privacy and aesthetic.

Just ask the team at Nievera Williams (nievera williams.com), which incorporated wooden doors and walls with fretwork into this outdoor shower.

HOME HERITAGE

COURTESY OF THE PRESERVATION FOUNDATION OF PALM BEACH

Islands in the Sun THE HISTORY BEHIND PALM BEACH’S TRIO OF EXCLUSIVE RESIDENTIAL ISLETS

BY MARIE PENNY

Palm Beach is just 16 miles in length and less than a mile wide. However, there are three small islands off the barrier island that have their own unique stories to tell. During the 1930s and 1950s, as demand for housing increased, developers such as the Phipps Family (who owned Bessemer Properties Inc.) looked to these islands. Here, we share the origins of each.

1 Three of Palm Beach’s most notable residential addresses, from top: Ibis Isle; Tarpon Island; Everglades Island, distinguished by its landmarked gates

by John Volk.

1. IBIS ISLE, 1953 ORIGINAL NAME: PENNER ISLAND Ibis Isle is named after the ibis bird, a year-round resident of Florida thanks to the state’s abundance of wetlands. Its former name may refer to the Penner family, who resided on the island during the pioneer era. Bessemer Properties purchased and platted the subdivision in 1953, right on the cusp of the South End development boom. It’s home to the French Villas low-rise condominiums and Eugene Lawrence’s modern condominium, Tower Vallencay, which was designated as a landmark in 2021.

2. TARPON ISLAND, 1939 ORIGINAL NAME: CLEMENT ISLAND Tarpon is an island unto itself, developed at the same time as Everglades Island and intended to be a single residential lot.

The 3-acre island features a historically significant house designed in 1939 by Howard Major, with later additions by John Volk.

Major’s private island Bermuda-style house features distinctive curved parapets and Chippendale railing.

3. EVERGLADES ISLAND, 1937 ORIGINAL NAME: LONE CABBAGE ISLAND This small sandbar was named after the single cabbage palm that stood on its southernmost point. In 1937, the Island Development Company (owned by Bessemer Properties) began 128

2 platting the island and constructing Island Road to connect it to Palm Beach. Two years later, in 1939, the name was changed to Everglades Island, likely due to its proximity to the Everglades Club golf course. After World War II, the project resumed, and the sandbar achieved island status as it was expanded and further platted. Tropical, ranch-style houses proliferated on Everglades Island during this era. The posts on the island’s gate feature eagles with extended wings in this early rendering by architect John Volk; the gates were designated as a landmark in 2004.

ringing a fun and fashionable twist to Halloween for a needy cause, the twelfth annual Witches of Delray Charity Bike Ride will attract an estimated 400 participants dressed in their finest “witch wear.” The ride will take place October 28 from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m., with witches trading in their brooms for decorated bicycles as they travel from Delray Beach City Hall through downtown and along scenic A1A. “Where else but a town like Delray Beach can you see the creativity and spirit of the community

come together in such a magical way?” says event co-founder Andie DeVoe. The charitable ride has raised more than $150,000 to benefit Delray Beach’s Achievement Centers for Children & Families (ACCF), a community-based organization serving nearly 700 local under-resourced children and families. ACCF children benefit from preschool, after-school, teen, and summer camp programs that help prepare them for academic and social success. (witchesofdelray.org) —Judy Alexandra DiEdwardo

When Cristina Monaco was 16, she saw her mom receive Botox for the first time and took note of how much joy she gained from the experience. “Witnessing this side of medicine that could positively impact self-esteem ignited my desire to pursue a career in the field,” says Monaco. “My dream was always to be in medicine and to contribute to people’s well-being and confidence.

With more than a decade of experience as an aesthetic injector, I noticed a gap in the market for upscale aesthetic services.” This realization led her to create Bespoke Aesthetics, a high-end aesthetic medicine practice in West Palm Beach that features customized skin care and antiaging treatments. Two that she is particularly excited about are Sylfirm X, a cutting-edge radiofrequency skin-tightening device, and Sofwave, a noninvasive ultrasound solution for fine lines and wrinkles that works well for lifting eyebrows.

“The Slash Fitness Fire and Ice program can benefit every person regardless of fitness level, age, exercise experience, or time available for training,” says Austin Brock, the studio’s co-founder. “When participants try out the cold

plunge for the first time, they are supported by a Slash Fitness coach and certified trainer, who helps with preparation, breath work, and ensuring you feel comfortable throughout.”

Brock notes that those in the class see instant benefits—whether placebo or otherwise.

“Members often feel more energetic, have improved cognitive function and focus throughout the day, and 100 percent feel their body recovering faster so they can work out harder and sooner.” (slashfitpro.com) —L.G.S.

Combatting Cancer Dr. Julian Berrocal credits a high school volunteer program at Jupiter Medical Center with igniting his interest in medicine. Now a breast surgical oncologist, the Palm Beach County native has returned to JMC as part of the hospital’s Comprehensive Breast Care Program. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Berrocal shares strategies for breast cancer prevention and early detection. (jupitermed.com) —L.G.S.

“Like many diseases, you can reduce your chances of developing breast cancer by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. My top advice would be to stay active, especially since physical fitness has many benefits as you age, including helping to prevent breast cancer. Brisk exercise for 150 minutes per week goes a long way.

It is also important to maintain a healthy diet, including limiting alcohol, which is known to increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer.”

DETECTION: “Breast cancer is highly treatable when caught early, which is why screening is so important. It is recommended that every woman undergo a bilateral 3D screening mammogram on an annual basis for breast cancer beginning at the age of 40. If a woman has dense breasts, [she] should consider supplemental screening with either breast ultrasound or breast MRI. For women who have a strong family history of breast cancer or who may be considered at high risk of developing breast cancer, they should speak with their physician about their lifetime risk of developing breast cancer to develop a more tailored approach to breast cancer screening.”

If your favorite part of a yoga class is lying on the mat at the end, then Yoga Nidra might be for you. A practice of radiant rest and enlightened sleep, Yoga Nidra invites practitioners to rest in savasana (or corpse pose) for the duration of the class. Fern Conn, a certified Yoga Nidra teacher and owner of Delray Beach’s Dancing Lion Studio, describes the experience as being guided into a deep state of consciousness.

“Yoga Nidra is a beautiful practice of allowing the body and mind to rest in the most profound way,” says Conn. “It can even feel more restful than a night’s sleep.”

According to Conn, participants begin by creating a “nest” using items like blankets and pillows. They’re then guided to relax and offered various ways to focus on breath. The intention is to stay aware and awake, while allowing your mind and body to enter a deep rest. By calming your sympathetic nervous system (the part that manages stressful situations by controlling your fight-or-flight response), you can lower cortisol levels to alleviate anxiety and help with depression. The parasympathetic system can take over and work to conserve and restore energy.

“Meditation and Yoga Nidra are some of the most profound tools for helping to manage the struggles of our days,” says Conn. “Most recently, Yoga Nidra has been one of the main practices that has kept me feeling grounded as I battled breast cancer. It helps manage and release the attachments to thoughts that are not supportive or sustainable for a healthy life. The essence of Yoga Nidra is surrendering and letting go.” (dancinglionstudio.com) —L.G.S.

TECH

BEDTIME STORY Focused on the core principle that “healthy people have healthy cells,” Toni Goren founded Boynton Beach–based PureWave after she discovered the effectiveness of electromagnetic devices for her own health issues. Goren, along with a team of engineers, set out to design an energy system that supports stress management, energy coherence, and cellular function. Among their developments is the VEMI Biosynchronizer Bed, which delivers millions of gentle frequencies, sound, and infrared heat designed to reset the biophysiology of the body.

“The VEMI acts like a harmonics conductor syncing all the cells, tissues, and body parts to vibrate at the same time with the same intensity,” explains Maria Krajnak, PureWave’s business manager.

“When this happens, an altered state of consciousness can occur— similar to the great sages, yogis, and modern-day shamans—where you can tap into your own heightened intuitive awareness for complete restoration, improved clarity, and better health.”

The VEMI aims to restore coherence to the body’s biofield, which is an electromagnetic field that all living things create, explains Krajnak. “Our fields are constantly interacting with other fields or devices that output beneficial or nonbeneficial frequencies known as electromagnetic fields. Our bio-wellness devices help to mitigate the effects of disruptive frequencies like smart meters, Wi-Fi, and cell phones. A lot of stress and dysfunction within the body stems from chaotic interference fields, but our ‘pure waves’ help to restore clear communication and signaling for restored optimal health.”

Ready to try it yourself? While the bed retails for $50,000, you can experience its effects at select wellness centers and spas including at the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort. (pure wavelife.com) —L.G.S.

SKIN IN THE GAME MORE THAN JUST INFLUENCER HYPE, THESE BEAUTY TOOLS ARE WORTH ADDING TO YOUR SELF-CARE ARSENAL

HELPING HANDS In our quest to protect our skin from the sun and environmental toxins, we sometimes overlook our hands. The Omnilux contour glove ($345) is an FDA-cleared red light therapy device clinically proven to improve the appearance of sunspots, pigmentation, wrinkles, dry skin, and uneven skin tone. Its red and near-infrared wavelengths also work to reduce inflammation, joint pain, and irritation as well as boost the production of collagen and elastin. (omniluxled.com)

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

2 3 CELLULITE SAYONARA Invented in 2014, the FasciaBlaster ($99) is hardly the new kid on the beauty block, but its popularity remains strong. Inspired by her experience with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and a deadly bone infection in her mid-20s, founder Ashley Black created the FasciaBlaster to ease constrictions in fascia, the web-like system of connective tissue that encases organs, joints, and muscles throughout the body. While she initially developed the personal-use device for pain relief and performance optimization, Black discovered an unexpected benefit: a reduction in cellulite. Through tissue massaging, the FasciaBlaster helps break the fascial connections apart and minimize the appearance of dimpling. (ashleyblackguru.com)

HEAVEN SENT Manufactured from surgicalgrade hydrogel, AngelLift Dermastrips ($79) are a noninvasive way to address lower facial lines and wrinkles.

Worn like teeth-whitening strips, Dermastrips help to replace the pressure you lose as your gums naturally recede, with the skin becoming smoother and tighter in response to the lifting beneath the surface. This Botox alternative is a Shark Tank success story, with Lori Greiner buying a stake in the company. (angellift.com)

WRINKLE WARRIOR Designed by a Japanese makeup artist and skin care specialist, the Toute Nuit facial wrinkle flattening patches ($16 per pack) relax underlying facial muscles and, with repeated use, flatten deep-set wrinkles and smooth fine lines.

The patches come in six shapes based on the wrinkle zone you wish to vanish. Apply to your face before bedtime and sleep your way to a younger visage. (toutenuit.com)

BALANCE GOOD NATURE

From the Ground Up TIPS FOR HOW TO FEEL ROOTED, IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD

BY TAMMY FENDER

This time of year, when I harvest the ginger and turmeric in my kitchen garden, is all about roots. All summer long, it looked like nothing was happening in those garden beds. Did the plants even survive the heat? And then came the happy surprise of pulling these little gems from the soil, a mass of beautifully twisted gnarled treasures.

Just like the fall season here in South Florida, roots have so much potential.

The root is where a plant stores its vital energy. But the metaphorical connection goes even deeper. Come fall, I often see clients in my treatment room who are pulling deeply from their own energetic reserves—their roots—and may be close to depletion. This is an important time to replenish the inner resources we all draw upon, regardless of whether we are feeling challenged, carefree, or somewhere in-between.

One of the ways I love to stay rooted once the pace picks up includes being in nature, where I can quite literally feel more grounded by kicking off my shoes to walk barefoot in the sand or on the grass. This natural sense of support can come through the hands as well. Connect with the soothing elements all around you by trailing

your fingers in the water, digging in the soil, or even building a sandcastle.

Nutritionally, roots are powerful, providing a rich abundance of nutrients that benefit us in so many ways. Root vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and beets are full of vitamins A, E, and C, which are great for not only the skin but the entire body, boosting our recovery and detoxification pathways.

Carrots can be juiced, sweet potatoes are a wonderful addition to any breakfast, and beets taste delicious in a salad or even thinly sliced on a sandwich.

Then there are ginger and turmeric, which grow so well here and are full of circulation-boosting fire. In the Ayurvedic traditions of ancient India, each is a source of immune system strength and soothing care. At home, I combine the two to make an elixir, steeping them in boiling water with clove, lemon, and cinnamon bark by the gallon, then cooling the blend in the fridge to drink throughout the season with local raw honey. This is my secret weapon, a combination that helps keep me even-keeled and ready for anything. «

This fall, tap into the full potential of roots by consuming root vegetables, ginger, and turmeric for myriad nutritional and therapeutic benefits.

REAL TALK WITH...

JJ Martin

The founder and creative director of La Double J dishes on her new homeware collection, Mamma Milano, immortalized in a book of the same name

BY KATHERINE LANDE

What would you tell your 20-yearold self today?

You have a higher self and the time to locate it is now.

Favorite piece of business advice you’ve been given?

If you’re not profitable by year two you never will be.

La Double J’s fashion and homeware collections feature style signatures of bright colors, luxurious fabrics, and vintage prints.

AMINA MARAZZI GANDOLFI

What’s your go-to entertaining hack?

A super easy trick I do to make that moment when everyone is arriving a little more special is to set up a bar with a mix of all my different LDJ Murano glassware—the Rainbow water glasses, the Smoky Rainbow coupes and tumblers, and our new Perfetto wine glasses all look amazing mixed together.

It’s like an art installation and fun for guests to pick their favorites, without too much formality. Just be sure you have the wine on ice and all the mixers ready for guests to make their own.

ALBERTO ZANETTI

What are some must-have pieces from the new Mamma Milano homeware collection?

I absolutely love the new Sunrays mini plate; the design was inspired by a mosaic found in Palazzo Belgioioso. But you can’t go wrong with our six-piece dessert plate set; [the plates] slip super easily into whatever plate situation you have at home. I’m also crazy about our Pillar candles that come in the ancient Egyptian–inspired prints from our fall ready-to-wear collection. I’ll use them in my daily meditation practices.

How do you approach mixing color and print?

My No. 1 tip for dressing yourself and your table would be to not overthink it. Don’t try to make everything look too “perfect.” …

Use your heart and your stomach when you get dressed, not your head. When you mix prints there is a little method to the madness. Try to select a color theme that can be a fil rouge throughout the look or the table. I also find that geometrics mix really well with florals.

[And] you want to mix your scales.

I like to mix oversize prints with smaller ones, and to throw in some solid or color-blocked pieces just to give the eye a little breathing room. It’s all about balance.
