Bridgehampton. You’ve always dreamt about that 6,000 +/- SF stucco French country house you’d buy, perhaps on Butter Lane, set on a lush acre among the farm fields of Bridgehampton. but close enough to walk to exercise studios, transportation, and the village shops and restaurants that define this charming village. The fact that it was designed by local architect Michael Behringer and built by the late Ben Krupinsky would be a huge plus. Hopefully, the property would have a gated entry that opens to a circular driveway and a two-car garage. Of course, you would want gorgeous interiors including a living room with a fireplace, a separate den and a first-floor guest suite to encourage weekends of fabulous entertaining while you and your family are comfortably ensconced upstairs in four ensuite bedrooms. Wouldn’t it be nice too if you could just plop your furniture in without having to do any renovations? Certainly, you imagine the languorous al fresco lunches and intimate moonlit dinners you’ll enjoy on your pergola covered back patio with comfortable seating areas, all prepared in the eat-in country kitchen with a large center island and professional Viking appliances. And didn’t your wish list include a fully finished lower level with recreational areas, a staff bedroom and a full bath? And naturally, you’d expect a nearly 50’ heated Gunite pool with ample room for lounge chairs and an outdoor living room all framed by a sea of verdant lawn, colorful plantings, and mature perimeter trees to ensure privacy. And in a perfect scenario, you’d have a whole house Sonos system reaching to the pool area, public water, security system and very low taxes. Well, I just happen to have one if you’re still in the market. You’d better hurry though as there aren’t any 6-bedroom, 7 bath Hampton retreats like this hanging around at the moment. Yes, your dreams can come true if you are nimble enough to preview this newly listed property at an incredibly attractive price in an enviable location. Exclusive. $5.725M WEB# 894359
Oceanviews from Sagaponack
14,000 SF Modern Pondfront
Estate
Sagaponack. With a new attractive price and elements of scale and architecture that could not be reproduced in this location today, a beautifully landscaped acre on Crestview Lane along 125’ of Fairfield Pond plays host to a magnificent 14,000 SF, 8-bedroom modern estate recently completed near the ocean in Sagaponack. Masterfully scripted by Brian O’Keefe, the architect employed fundamental principles of balance, proportion, function, and beauty to synthesize classical design principles with a contemporary aesthetic. Charles Allem, principal of C.A.D International, was engaged as Design Director and Interior Designer with overall project oversight. His vision for this property was to create an experience driven by his client’s lifestyle. He established a color palette of taupe and beige punctuated by black. Charles embraced the use of natural honed materials as in bronze, stone, and leather. Complimented by hand woven linen textiles to achieve a casual sophisticated look and cohesive experience, he was able to achieve a restrained, sophisticated, and balanced residence that was both meticulously curated and eminently livable. Indeed, the drama gradually unfolds as you walk past the marble waterfall wall and through a marine -grade stainless-steel sliding door into a 9,000 SF contemporary sanctuary of wood and stone that reveals the expansive living room warmed by a fireplace. The modern Poliform designed kitchen anchors the center of the residence that flows to both the sumptuous fireplaced family room as well as the formal dining room augmented by a butler’s pantry. A bedroom suite overlooking both pool and pond completes this first floor. Upstairs the serene and privately sited master wing, with both pond and ocean views, offers luxurious onyx clad bath and dual closets. A continuous walkway, acting in the words of O’Keefe, as a “brise-soleil”, connects 4 additional bedrooms suites. Climbing from outside the second-floor office, a staircase finds the 4,600 SF roof deck, an amenity no longer permitted in this tony hamlet, offering bar, multiple seating areas and incredible 360° views out to the Atlantic and neighboring farm fields. An elevator descends to the 5,000+ SF lower level which includes screening room, recreational area, billiard room with bar, wine cellar, 2 staff suites and an entire wellness center with gym and spa that includes steam, sauna, hot tub. cold plunge and massage room. A spacious covered loggia provides for outdoor dining and the main level Foussena Grigia stone slab flooring extends out in all directions blurring the line between indoor and outdoor. And in fact, this covered patio with extensive built-in kitchen and comfortable seating overlooks the unique two-sided heated Gunite pool with a nearby sunken fire-pit framed by a stone courtyard. Elaborate landscaping by Edmund D. Hollander Design creates a verdant tableau while also forming a natural wall from neighboring properties. Amenities include a Crestron controlled environment with whole house audio, Reilly windows, Lutron controlled lighting and shades, extensive CCTV and a generator. Stunningly compelling and awaiting its next act, this incomparable and irreplaceable seaside estate is now available to preview. Exclusive. $19.95M WEB# 870429

HOT SALES AND LISTINGS WITH A DOLLOP OF HAMPTONS GOSSIP BY
Welcome to the best part of summer, everyone! But it’s not just the sun that’s scorching out here — no, we’re not talking about residential real estate. (Although the highest priced listing in the Hamptons is now “priced to sell,” of which more later.) Retail rates have gone sky high!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, REV YOUR BLACK CARDS!
Back in April, Bernard Arnault , chairman and chief executive officer of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE, purchased One Main Street, East Hampton, for $22 million. (Somewhere, the “Above the Potatoes” proprietors are laughing.) That was pocket change for who was then the world’s richest man (though Elon Musk has overtaken him at time of writing). At $4,400 per square foot, the rate exceeds the averages for retail space in prime areas of Hong Kong, Milan, London, Paris, Tokyo and even Upper Fifth Avenue. The space is now Louis Vuitton.
Other high-end shops that have recently opened in East Hampton include Chanel, Valentino, and Prada. The high-end MyTheresa site opened its first bricks-and-mortar shop June 29 as a summer pop-up. Marina St Barth and Diptyque are also newcomers; while we can recommend a Diptyque candle as a prime hostess gift, be careful. Naming no names, we once found our host using the $75 candle we gave him lighting a lantern by the pool. Safe to say, East Hampton is no longer the place where this writer could spend her 25¢ allowance, as in the 1970s.
LET’S PARTY
Michael Rubin’s famous annual white party took place over the July 4th holiday at his Bridgehampton oceanfront home, which was packed full with 350 of his closest and most famous friends and guests. Rubin, 50, CEO of Fanatics and former co-owner of the 76ers, entertained the stars and athletes until the wee hours. Some of those present included East
Hampton’s Jay-Z and Beyoncé , Kevin Hart , Water Mill’s Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck and Kevin Durant
Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots, who has his own oceanfront place in Southampton was reunited with his former start quarterback, Tom Brady . Also in attendance were Leonardo DiCaprio , DJ Khaled , Usher , reality stars Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner , Jack Harlow and Justin and Hailey Bieber
Rubin bought the modern Bridgehampton oceanfront manse in an off-market deal for $50.15 million back in 2020.
CALLING ALL HOTELIERS!
Also in commercial real estate news, Montauk’s centrally located Sands Motel has been listed for $28 million by Hal Zwick and Jeff Sztorc at
Compass Commercial. The 19,000-square-foot hostelry is located across the street from the ocean beach, offering both ocean views and Fort Pond views. Of course, there is a pool on its 1.6 acres.
The motel was built by the Hausman family in 1951; son Richard ran the motel until his death last year. (The complex is currently closed.) Three buildings comprise one- and two-bedroom units, each with one bathroom and a balcony or deck. Fourteen are efficiencies. There’s also a two-bedroom cottage for the owner.
OVER TO QUOGUE
A historic oceanfront estate on 2.6 acres in Quogue has not been on the market in more than 50 years. It was built in 1910 as part of the Kennedune compound , a set of houses including a boathouse and a very large saltwater pool, by a family called Kennedy . Now, the property on

Dune Road is for sale asking $13.75 million via Lillian A. Holtzclaw of Brown Harris Stevens. There’s 275 feet of ocean frontage, a tennis court, a gunite pool, outdoor kitchen, vegetable garden, a bocce court and a wisteria-clad pergola and a grandfathered dune deck. The 4,000 square foot house includes six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and two powder rooms.
Built in the English/French country mashup style popular at the time, the house retains many elegant period features: fireplaces, millwork, mature gardens. The kitchen is ready for weekends with lots of guests, including two dishwashers, two sinks and a wine fridge. There’s a private duckwalk to the beach, and, perhaps nicest of all, the dune deck, which cannot be built new, but is perfect for relaxing while listening to the roaring surf.
UP ON THE NOFO
One of the most expensive houses for sale on the North Fork is a spectacular bayfront estate in Mattituck. Set on over 1.5 acres, with 132 feet of sugar sand beach, and endless, incredible views. An eat-in-kitchen that overlooks a pool, pool house, and private beach. Outside you have a driving range and putting green, an outdoor shower, beach and Bay access from your backyard, and a whole house generator. Seconds from Strong’s Marina and near all that the North Fork has to offer. If you’re looking for an alternative to the Hamptons on the quieter Fork, you can’t beat this one! Asking $5,750,000.

GOOD NEWS GOSSIP ABOUT OUR NOTABLE FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS BY DAWN WATSON
Buckle up. It’s summer in the Hamptons. And everybody – from Great White sharks to reality television stars – seem to feel the need to be here right now. That is, if they’re not abroad.
There’s been a slew of newer faces out east already this season. Let’s look and see who is making the biggest splashes so far.
SHORT SIGHTINGS
Dancer Julianne Hough has been footloose and fancy free out east of late. Make sure to catch her co-hosting in the upcoming season number 32 of Dancing with the Stars , which is returning to broadcast television on ABC this fall.
It’s so nice to see actor Mamie Gummer back in action after a long hiatus. Not missing a step, she has been blowing away audiences at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor with her portrayal of conniving character Margot in the stage version of Dial M for Murder . Brava!
Actor and entrepreneur Mark Wahlberg has
been touting his tequila brand, Flecha Azul, all over the South Fork. We hear he even celebrated his 52nd birthday out east. Catch him next in Arthur the King , a film about a race car driver and his adopted dog.
Retired professional footballer Rob Gronkowski , and his swimsuit cover model wife, Camille Kostek , have been spotted all over the South Fork of late. The former tight end is no stranger to our neck of the woods, having been spotted out east since at least 2015. Perhaps he’s in the market to expand his already impressive real estate portfolio with a Montauk or East Hampton party pad?
And rookie Ram quarterback, Stetson Bennett , is apparently a fan of Montauk fishing, according to his Insta.
REGULAR FOLKS
As in Hamptons regulars, natch.
Did you know that Keith Hernandez is one of the highest-earning sports stars on Cameo? ‘Tis true.
The Sag Harbor resident, sports announcer and Met legend is regularly called upon to record greetings by his fans, which he does — often and from the comfort of his East End home. According to published reports, the former two-time World Series-winning first-baseman has done more than 500 requests, to the tune of about $100,000.
Hip, hip, hooray for sportscaster Ann Liguori , who recently received a Gracie Award. The Talking Golf with Ann Liguori host also has a second book coming out. It’s called ‘Life Lessons in Golf,” and it’s set to print in spring 2024.
Kelly Ripa is primetime baby! The Southampton resident’s new show, Generation Gap airs on ABC. Asking pop culture triviatype questions, it pits young versus old in an entertaining gameshow format on Thursday nights.
Robert Downey Jr. also has a new beat, as host and co-producer of Downey’s Dream Cars on Max. The first FootPrint Coalition streaming show, this interesting vehicle shows the East Hampton resident restoring his classic cars into the ultimate “green machines,” aka climate-change friendly automobiles.
And since we’re talking about cars, it just makes sense that we bring up the newest New York State license plates, which highlight our beautiful region. Chosen by the Department of Motor Vehicles, the custom plate features a Montauk Lighthouse theme with an ocean backdrop and is now available for purchase.
FINAL NOTES
Fond farewells to Hamptons-based heavyweights, including artist Connie Fox , lyricist Sheldon Harnick , romance writer Barbara Metzger , and gallerist Tulla Booth , who have all passed of late. These tremendously talented people have changed the world, each in their own way. We’re touched and honored that they’ve been part of our lives.
Rest in peace dear friends.

THE INTERIOR DESIGNER MICHELLE GERSON ADDS TEXTURE AND COLOR TO A HOUSE IN WATER MILL, LEAVING MINIMALISM IN THE DUST
BY NINA THOMSON PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARCO RICCAAyoung couple buy a plot of land in Water Mill, and on this plot of land they commission an architect to build a weekend house for their family. Eventually, the structure will span 12,000 square feet and have nine bedrooms and nine baths. When the sheet rock walls are in, but the finishes have yet to be chosen, the couple engage the designer Michelle Gerson, requesting interiors that are “modern but not minimal.”
It wasn’t so long ago that “modern” and “minimal” were considered a contradiction in terms. In some design quarters, they still are. If you tell a decorator that you’re partial to modern design, there’s a good chance they’ll be showing you mood boards with gorgeous, austere interiors à la John Pawson before too long. But Gerson correctly interpreted her client’s use of the word “modern” to mean modern-ish, minus the minimalism. For some, the term “modern,” divested of its historical connotations, is synonymous with “contemporary” (a design descriptor, Gerson says, that has faded away). Gerson posits that the recent surge of interest in soft-touch modern design may be a reaction to the prevalence of classic modern interiors with their pared-back interiors leached of color. Such rooms “look great on camera,” she says, “but they’re not so comfortable to live in.” Modern sofas, in particular, she observes, “require your best posture.”
Livability mattered a great deal to her clients, so on this project Gerson paid special attention to the comfort quotient — without compromising on style. “The clients wanted a house that looked both lived-in and of the moment,” she says. To achieve that elusive combination, she relied
on mid-century gestures paired with an overall design scheme that has what she calls “a clean-lined 2020 vibe without a ton of clutter.”
Needless to say, the structure didn’t always look that way. When Gerson arrived on the scene, there was sheet rock on the walls, but “no trim or details. The kitchen wasn’t designed. The plumbing wasn’t in. The stairs were finished and the layout was done, but that was it.” Her initial efforts were focused on detail work such as adding reverse shiplap paneling and cerusing the walls with oak in situ (“Quite the production,” she recalls). And because the principal bedroom suite had an extra-high ceiling — “It made the room feel cavernous” — she decided to cover the sheet rock in rift-sawn white oak for a warming effect. Later, she designed a mohair-upholstered headboard for the bed. (At nearly eight feet tall, it required the services of eight men to carry it into the house and up the stairs.)
And because the client wanted the house to have color, Gerson chose a palette of blues. “We weren’t going for the rainbow-house look, but on the other hand, we didn’t want the colors to be too neutral either.” The idea was to deploy color in a thoughtful way, in shades that “didn’t give you a headache when you walked through the door.”
Next, Gerson set about building up layers of texture. The family room, for instance, now features a fireplace with a surround that is finished in hand-troweled concrete, a mohair sofa in periwinkle-blue, a resin coffee table poured by Martha Sturdy, and two curvy cream-colored swivel chairs of her own design. Elsewhere, she added tongue and groove doors, burlap-like wall coverings, and heaps of soft furnishings that have a distinctly tactile quality.
“At the end of the day people look at the whole picture.” They may not notice each layer of texture, she says, but it’s the accretion of “small details that create the mood in a house.” The most challenging aspect of the project, Gerson says, was
to do with logistics, as she was brought on board after the project was underway. To have the house ready in time for the summer season, many decisions had to be made in rapid succession. Thus, the homeowners did not have the luxury of mulling things over, a habit of mind that has derailed many a design project.
“Often I think our first instincts are best,” she reflects. Sometimes clients will second guess themselves only to find themselves back where they began six months later. But in this case when I presented the options, they chose right and they did so right away. They put the pedal to the metal and floored it.”
HAMPTONS ARCHITECTURAL TRENDS IN 2023:
A CONVERSATION WITH DESIGNER KRISTEN FARRELL
BY: ALICE PHILLIPSHamptons Real Estate Showcase Magazine turned to famed Hamptons designer & developer Kristen Farrell to share her insights. Ms. Farrell, the head of the Bridgehampton-based design firm Kristen Farrell Home since 2018, brings clients in New York and Palm Beach (and the Hamptons, of course) a curated Hamptons look with her sophisticated yet casual aesthetic. For many years prior, Ms. Farrell was the design director of the luxury home construction company Farrell Building.
HRES: Pre-pandemic, homeowners had begun to swing towards modern design features including open concept living spaces, floor to ceiling windows, metal staircases and industrial accent materials. The pandemic revolved around making the home accessible as both the family gathering place and the workplace. Now that the pandemic seems to be in our rearview mirrors, what are homeowners looking for as we begin to sort the “new normal”? What do you see as the current design trends now for the Hamptons?
Kristen Farrell: There is a sophisticated undercurrent to the Hamptons home that must meet the needs of the diverse social and entertaining that
defines the Hamptons lifestyle. The home needs to flow and function with ample closets, baths, indoor and outdoor kitchens, mudrooms and garage bays. In any given day a “Hamptonite” may engage in multiple activities –biking, boating, tennis, beach, golf, luncheons, dinners, guests and family; a Hamptons home is the backdrop to this activity and provides the entry to the lifestyle. It’s not the size of the home that matters, it’s the use of the space. Before I embark on any project I “walk” through the plans and the functionality of space in my mind. If it works for me and my family and entertaining needs, then I know it’s a good plan. This held true before the pandemic, during and after.
HRES: What design trends have taken hold as a result of the pandemic and don’t seem to be retreating?
KF: Wellness has always been a consideration for me in development and design. The pandemic highlighted this need and new thought was given to the definition of a healthy lifestyle. Whether it’s meditation, yoga, spin or a traditional gym, physical wellness needs to be a central focus. In May, we created a strategic alliance with TechnoGym for just this reason: their
equipment functions at a high level and is beautifully designed. Our home gym and spa area at 219 Sagg Main Street, Sagaponack features custom TechnoGym equipment – you can see the layout and learn more on our website: www.kristenfarrellco.com.
The biggest pandemic need was home office space. The request for home work space has declined but the desire for strong WiFi and generators has not. Clients are reclaiming this living space for other needs but want insurance they can pivot quickly if the need arises.
Outdoor living is the name of the game - always! It is my passion to create outdoor destinations in the yard and to make sure there is plenty of dining, living and playing spaces throughout the pool and patio areas. Outdoor showers are a must – I turn mine on May 1 and I shower outside until October!
HRES: The three most popular architectural styles in the Hamptons are farmhouse, shingle, and modern/contemporary. Does your practice focus on any one style vs. another?
KF: My practice focuses on presenting a beautiful balanced home, which can be achieved within any of the above styles. The dynamic between a developer and architect is what creates the structural lines and the materials selected by the designer is the differentiator between one home and the next. I have been a boater my whole life and I think about house “lines” the way I think about the lines of a boat: intentional simplicity creates beauty and watching the way a boat moves on the water is similar to pulling up to a house for the first time and saying ohhhh… In both instances you may not immediately notice the details that invoke this response — it’s how it comes together that gives you the feeling. As a developer my goal is to achieve this every time for myself and my clients.
HRES: Much has been written about green living and sustainability in housing design – especially in urban settings. How, if at all, has this trend affected Hamptons building and design?
KF: If the technology for green living is available and affordable, we do it. In my opinion, it is a moral obligation. The struggle is in the practicality, durability and affordability — as a society we are not there yet.
HRES: How about renovations? What can you get with a home renovation budget of $250,000, $500,000 and $1 million? The opportunity cost of quantity vs. quality.
KF: Anything is possible on any budget. It is a process of managing needs/ wants and the existing status of a home against municipal requirements and regulations with a client’s requests. At K&CO we have a team available for both interior design and client renovations. I assign lead designers for these projects and oversee the process. I spend the majority of my time developing one unique project at a time and that can be a renovation or a new build. I do not market the property until it is finished and furnished to my level of expectation!
“The ‘Hamptons’ is the most popular search term when people are looking at building new homes or renovating their existing homes, with its second most popular search term being ‘modern coastal’, considered a variation of the Hamptons theme.

THE SHED, BUT MAKE IT CHIC
REIMAGINING THE OUTDOOR STORAGE SPACE
I’m not ashamed to say it: my garage has become overrun. Sometime between last summer and this spring, I noticed a change. Call it a gradual accumulation. Call it poor organization. Whatever it was, one thing was clear: our family was in dire need of a shed. I set out on a mission to find the highest quality shed that I could find that also met my design-loving needs. An eyesore this would not be.
One thing we were definitely not in dire need of, I let my husband know, was another DIY project. This time, I wanted it left up to the experts. For medium-sized wood sheds that can house anything from small appliances to bikes and paddleboards, we headed first to Home Depot. The Scarsdale Designer Outdoor wood shed with 2 windows was an attractive option, made even more attractive by the fact that it came with optional professional install (that option costs about $1500 extra, plus tax). The 12- x 16-foot shed, which costs under $6,000 — both with and without install — comes with a choice of three shingle colors, a doublewide door, and nearly 200 square-feet of interior space, which can even be used as an ancillary structure, like a pool house.
The Heartland brand, which also sells their wood sheds to Home Depot and Lowe’s, offers customization and installation of 11 different
styles. Sheds are available in different sizes, from 10- x 4-foot (the Lean To) to 16- x 24foot (the Garage and Two Story models). Customizable options include 25-year shingles, storage lofts, wooden ramps, interior shelving and workbenches, cupolas, skylights, windows with transoms, and steel service doors. Some of Heartland’s more upmarket models — the Studio, for instance — are specifically designed to take the place of an indoor space. Take your office outside with one of these bespoke (and, yes, professionally
BY HANNAH SELINGERassembled) outdoor buildings, which offer extras like residential-grade French doors, corrosion resistance, and brushed aluminum trim. (Prices begin around $4,000 and go up to about $20,000, depending on size and level of customization.)
If you’re looking to build a shed for your backyard using a local company, NY Shed Company, based in Mattituck, has been producing beautiful outdoor spaces for 38 years. Sheds come standard with double doors, vents, a choice of trim and shingle color, a choice of window and door placement, and flooring. Sheds can be built onsite and can be customized with everything from vinyl plank flooring to dormers to window boxes.
At Long Island Shed Builders, in Smithtown, decorative sheds are available to match the design of your home. Size, style, window and door configuration, layout, and colors can all be predetermined online. The company’s 3D visualizer helps you to see what your shed will look like once it arrives in your backyard, so you can add and remove features — and see their relative cost. Sheds can be delivered or built on-site, can be painted in tons of different colors and trim colors, and can be built as large as 14- x 36-feet.
WHERE TO EAT IF YOU’RE WILD ABOUT DESIGN
THE MOST ARCHITECTURALLY INTERESTING RESTAURANT INTERIORS OF THE EAST END
BY HANNAH SELINGERseating. No matter the time of year, it’s hard to pass up the French onion soup in a comfortable, wellappointed place like this.
At the Beacon, which is now celebrating its 25th season, the bar is the feature to focus on. Although guests flock to this seasonal beauty at sunset — the restaurant has one of the finest views in all of the Hamptons — the curved bar, which stands prominently in the middle of the restaurant, is an architectural feat. It only seats eight people, and this centerpiece is the first thing you’ll see when you walk into the restaurant — if your eyes aren’t diverted toward the setting sun. If you’re one of the lucky to snag a seat, order the pork pretzel buns with hoisin, pickle, creamy kohlrabi slaw, and sriracha.
Dinner is grand, but how important is where you’re eating — aesthetically — when it comes to the framework of dinner? It matters. It matters a lot. The entire vibe of dinner and how it plays out can be completely colored by the room that it’s served in. Which is why we’ve thought long and hard about the most architecturally interesting restaurant interiors on the East End, welcoming newcomers and old friends to the party.
New to Montauk this summer is Talya, an opening at Ruschmeyer’s, the perennial place to be if you like to party. The Mediterranean concept is helmed by chef Geoffrey Lechantoux, who has worked under chefs Alain Ducasse and Gordon Ramsey at restaurants like Louis XV in Monaco, Trianon Palace in Versailles, Plaza Athénée and Le Jules Verne in Paris, and Benoit in New York. Although the food promises to wow, we’re here for the equally impressive architectural features of the main dining room. The restaurant’s interior — lofted ceilings, windows that allow in the light from sunset and also a view of Lake Montauk — are draped with hanging vines and large, neutral sconces. Banquettes frame the walls, allowing for a huge, open space, one of the
most visually arresting in all of the East End.
Southampton’s Enchanté, open in the former Red Bar space, offers up gorgeous coffered ceilings for architecture lovers who also love to revel in a good meal. The restaurant also has a decorative bar (marble top, gold pendant lighting, a hint of coral highlighting the extensive liquor selection) to promote this design-forward restaurant’s architectural features, like pleasant dining nooks made cozy through natural light and banquette
Many have come to Almond, in Bridgehampton, and fallen in love with the pink, zebra-clad wallpaper on the back wall. Many have come and fallen in love with the locally sourced cuisine put out by chef-owner Jason Weiner. But how many have come and fallen in love with the architecturally distinct ceilings, coffered, but also intricately designed, painted white, light reflecting from the black, stylized pendant lighting? It’s hard not to feel architectural inspiration in a place like Almond, where subway tile — an added decorative touch — lines the walls, and where sleek black banquettes add just a touch of bistro. But if the ceilings, walls, and seats don’t move you, well, the steak frites just might.

ICE CREAM CONFIDENTIAL
HOW TO MAKE SUPERIOR ICE CREAM AT HOME
BY ALEXANDRA CROFTIt's a secret among pastry chefs that superlative ice cream is easier to make than non-professionals commonly believe. Deepflavored ice cream that is quickly churned and served fresh from the machine when it is still the consistency of soft serve can be the stuff of dreams. Because such ice cream often has no stabilizers, your only hope of tasting it is to order it in a top-drawer restaurant or to make it at home. And for that you need a powerful machine with a built-in freezer unit. While it's true that you could go for a model that uses an insulated bowl — the kind that require hours in the freezer before use — those machines simply can't compete, texture-wise, with models that have their own condensers.
Even among machines with freezers, however, quality varies. If you want to experience ice cream heaven, if pretty good ice cream just won't do, then make room in your pantry for the Lello 4080 by Musso Lussino, a forty-pound, mostly stainless steel Leviathan ice-cream maker that is manufactured in Italy. With just two buttons (one for the steel dasher and the other for the
chiller) and a wind-up timer, it's the kind of oldschool analogue unit that will appeal to equipment connoisseurs, kitchencontrol freaks, and gelato masters. Anyone who has tried the Lello will tell you that it yields glorious, stretchy, almost taffylike ice cream (and gelatos, sorbets, and frozen yogurts). At forty pounds, it is heavy, but, oh, the results!
A somewhat lighter unit is the Breville BCI600XL Smart Scoop Ice Cream Maker, which weighs in at thirty pounds and has a slightly smaller footprint than the Lello. Ice cream quality-wise, however, the end product is closer to what you get using an insulated bowl model. Still, the Breville is worth considering if you would like to make multiple batches of ice cream without having to stop and re-freeze the bowl.
Of course, impeccable ingredients make all the difference, too, so you'll want to stock the fridge with fresh organic eggs, milk, and cream as well as armloads of ripe local fruit and herbs such as lavender, lemon balm, scented geraniums, and mint. And on days when it is too hot to even think about going shopping, consider a Roman classic: affogato. The word means "drowned" and it refers to the shot of espresso that is poured over a scoop of vanilla gelato (served in a heat-proof glass, of course). It is simultaneously cold, sweet, hot, and bitter, and it will make you happy that you are right where you are, relaxed as a Roman, enjoying your ice cream away from the crowds, at home.
Lavender and White Peach Ice Cream
The flavor of fresh lavender should be just barely perceptible in this ice cream. If you omit the peaches and the lavender, the recipe makes delicious vanilla ice cream — just the thing for affogato
Ingredients:
1 lb. ripe white peaches
1 1/4 cup superfine sugar
1 1/2 cups organic heavy cream
1/2 cup organic whole milk
4 egg yolks
1 tbsp. fresh, unsprayed lavender buds, rinsed and a few whole buds to garnish
1 vanilla bean, split down the middle
Rinse the peaches and, working over a nonreactive saucepan to collect the juices, tear them into rough pieces, discarding the pits. Add 1/4 cup of sugar to the peaches and juices and toss the fruit really well in the sugar. Cover the saucepan and simmer over a low flame for ten minutes, just until the peaches start to soften. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator.
Bring the milk and cream to a simmer and turn off the heat. Add the lavender buds and let them steep in the cream for no longer than 15 minutes or they will overpower the dessert. At the end of that time, strain them out and scrape the innards of the vanilla bean into the cream. Toss in the spent bean too.
Make the custard. In a heat-proof Pyrex measuring cup, whisk the yolks with the rest of the sugar. Continue to whisk as you pour the hot milk-cream mixture over the yolks, then return the mixture to the saucepan, whisking constantly over low heat (taking care not to curdle the eggs) until it reaches 180 F. Transfer the custard to a bowl with a lid and chill it well in the fridge, stirring occasionally, then churn in an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions.
HIDDEN GEMS
FOR THE PERFECT CHANGE OF PACE, VISIT GREENPORT ON THE NORTH FORK
BY GRACE CASSIDYfriends gather to dance, sing karaoke, and enjoy the selection of drinks available.
If you want to really feel at home in Greenport, Burton’s Books will do the job. The small and friendly bookstore on Front Street has a wide selection of books, set out by genre. They also sell journals, postcards and craft goods by local artists, and other trinkets that can make perfect gifts to let someone you love know you’re thinking of them. To top it off, the staff is knowledgeable and kind, and makes anyone who steps foot in the store feel welcomed.
Whiskey Wind has a dive bar vibe with billiards and an outdoor back deck; the Op-Shop sells a wide variety of second-hand goods from clothes to dinnerware; Crazy Beans makes a killer breakfast; Claudio’s is the go-to scene for waterfront nightlife.
The Hamptons offers numerous hot and hidden spots that both locals and visitors enjoy throughout the year. But come August, the South Fork becomes so populated that traffic can be a stress-inducing nightmare and what was once your hole-in-the-wall coffee shop during the winter season could have a line out the door with people waiting for their morning cup of joe.
To alleviate some of the inevitable stress that comes with the busy season in the Hamptons, sometimes leaving the South Fork altogether will enable a feeling of calm.
Located at the end of the North Fork right before Orient Point, Greenport has become a hot spot for dining, nightlife, and shopping. The small and quaint village has most of its popular shops and restaurants all within walking distance of each other — so going for the entire day is easy, and visitors will only need to find parking once rather than having to hop in their car every time they want to go to their next destination.
The vibe of the town is laid back and casual — your comfiest summer attire and a good pair of flip-flops will do. Residential streets leading up to the village are lined with tightly-packed single family homes, many of which are century-old Queen Annes from the late 1800s. The homes remind visitors of the sense of community that Greenport holds at the center of its character. Businesses are owned by local families that know and appreciate the area, which is immediately felt upon stepping foot in the village.
There are numerous suggestions that could be made for those spending a day in town. Lucharitos offers affordable and delicious Mexican food and quality mojitos and margaritas. It’s a perfect lunch or dinner location, but turns into a popular bar once the sun goes down. At night, groups of
Driving to the end of the North Fork may seem like a pain for people living in the Hamptons, but the drive won’t feel as long considering commuters won’t have to deal with single-lane highways and a 35 mph speed limit like they would on the South Fork. Getting out to Greenport can also be an easy ferry ride from Sag Harbor with a stop in Shelter Island on the way, cutting down on time in the car.
Regardless of who you are or where you’re from, there’s a little something for everyone in Greenport, and it can provide the perfect change of pace from the busy Hamptons summer season.
HOLLANDER’S HABITAT
WITH MORE THAN 400 PROJECTS OVER 25 YEARS, ED HOLLANDER CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE GLOBE AS THE PREMIER LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
BY KELLI DELANEY KOT @KDHAMPTONSHamptonite Ed Hollander is a worldrenowned landscape architect who has worked on countless high-profile projects throughout his career, including private residences, commercial developments, and public parks. Hollander Design incorporates elements of nature, horticulture, and architectural integration to create visually stunning and functional outdoor spaces. He is recognized for his attention to detail, sensitivity to the environment, and ability to create harmonious outdoor environments.
How did you originally become a garden lover?
I started out as a history major at Vassar and then went onto the New York Botanical Garden to study horticulture, ecology. And for a couple of years that really resonated with me, but instead of sitting in class, I would prefer to work with all of the old gardeners who had been there forever. I didn’t really want to be a gardener, so I ended up at the University of Pennsylvania studying landscape architecture and life started to unfold from there.
How do you split time between your New York City and Hamptons offices?
I’m generally out east for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We’ve got the whole residential part of our Hollander Design world, but then we’ve got a whole urban design studio that’s doing everything from the next phase of Hudson Yards to lots of private residential projects in the city.
Tell us more about your project in Taiwan.
There’s a city in Taiwan called Taichung City where we are working on seven big Urban Tower projects out of our American studio with parks and gardens. There’s a real desire to combine architecture with the landscape there which we love to do.
Do you enjoy the challenge of working in so many parts of the world at once?
We do. We have also worked in Shanghai and other cities in mainland China and Hong Kong. We have an exciting project off the coast of Scotland, which is just the coldest, dampest,
place in the world, and then we go to Montecito, which has the most perfect climate in the world. Landscape designs are so ecologically specific.
Have you found a pro tip that binds most of your projects together?
It’s an enormous amount of fun for me. The planting part of it all is probably where my true heart and passion lies, so to be able to walk
around nurseries right in rural Taiwan and figure out what’s this and what’s it related to is a fun challenge. The great thing about horticulture is if you speak in Latin names everyone in the world can understand you.
How big is the Hollander team?
We’ve got three main studios. The residential studio does all of the gardens, residences and estates really throughout the area. Another one of my partners runs the urban studio, and another partner runs the Chicago office. With the number of contractors that get pulled into this, it’s a pretty big family that we have fun with here.
Can you talk us through the initial steps of a new project?
We try to figure out what the land wants to do. How does this house work? How do we combine landscape and architecture? How do we understand the family to find out who they are and what’s going to make this wonderful for them? And because we do work with the most contemporary to the most traditional, there’s a pretty big range in the kinds of projects that we get to do. It’s a choreography of a large ballet.
What are your current projects in Sag Harbor?
Sag Harbor is basically home for me, in our charming little old house right in the historic part of the village. I’m much more intimately involved with everything in and around the Hamptons, only because we do so much work there. We do lots of pro bono projects for the village of Sag Harbor. All of the landscape people are kind enough to donate their labor for doing this. We recently completed the new John Steinbeck Park, and the new Long Wharf promenade design.
Do you have a “number one” plant that appears in most Hollander projects?
My “number one plant” is plural - my pollinator plants. Something that’s not only beautiful for you and me, but also beautiful for the bees and the butterflies. My favorite boxwood is green velvet, and you can never have too many Hydrangeas.
Where will we find you on your downtime in Sag Harbor?
At the American Hotel, and The Beacon, where we love to have dinner on the second floor overlooking Sag Harbor at sunset.
Such a wildly dynamic and demanding workload. Do you ever think about slowing down?
There’s some of us who are very lucky. My wife is like this. I’m like this. It’s who we are. If what you’re doing is who you are, well, why would you want to stop doing it? Are there times when the tree deliveries don’t show up, when this plant dies, or things that make me want to pull the little hair left on my head? Of course! But then the long and short of it is truly all fun!
THE ARTIST’S JOURNEY
OSCAR MOLINA EMBRACES HIS SECOND ACT BY HEATHER BUCHANAN
From fleeing war in El Salvador to running a successful masonry company to emerging as an artist and gallery owner Oscar Molina has always abided by his father’s principles, “You always do good by others and be the best you can be. Be humble and be strong.”
It was a difficult decision in 1989 for Molina’s family to leave their country to come to America. Molina says, “It was very hard to say goodbye to family ties and hopefully make it. Not everyone did. Those memories are in my mind so when I paint, I go back to my roots. I find painting as therapy.”
After twenty-five years devoted to his company Molina was ready for his second act. “I wanted to say thank you to that time and move forward into the arts. It’s understanding you have to let go of a lot of things to find your other passion and start from scratch.” Molina was inspired by the story of J. Steven Manolis who fulfilled the American dream rising from an immigrant family to a hugely successful corporate career then took the art world by storm, considered now a modern master in abstract expressionism.
A strong work ethic is ingrained in Molina, “If it was good yesterday, I try to make it better today.” He credits an inspiring piece of advice from artist Eric Fischl, “I asked him one day how he keeps his passion going. He said, ‘Sometimes the passion isn’t there but the least you can do is go to the studio and smell the paint.’”
For Molina it was a time for birth and rebirth with a new daughter, new studio space to paint and a new gallery. He opened the Oscar Molina Gallery last year in Southampton with a mission to not only exhibit emerging and accomplished artists but to create an interactive program designed to illuminate art as social practice and encourage dialogue in a public space. “When I opened the gallery I had a lot of friends in the art world,” says Molina, “I was not only a painter but a collector for the past 15 years. With every painting it is the color or texture or theme that gives you connectivity. I believe in the energy on a spiritual level. Any artist that is conscious connects deeply and anyone on that same frequency will experience the same emotions and pleasure.” Molina
has exhibited at the Southampton Arts Center as well as future exhibits at The Parrish Art Museum and the Nassau County Museum of Art.
Audiences have formed a strong emotional bond to his latest sculptural project Children of the World with an installation at the LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton. “The idea is to connect my experience leaving El Salvador at a young age due to war and not by choice.” The “children” inspire all sorts of emotions. “When you see a group of sculptures like this you can have several reactions: the artist is very crazy, these look like ghosts, this is beautiful, wow magnificent work, what a beautiful message or they almost look at them like souls. The essence is of our experience as humans and how we move in this world.” The sculptures migrate every two weeks through the gardens with their metaphorical journey echoing Molina’s own through the sand-like desert to crossing the pond like the Rio Grande to emerging at the concrete block sculpture like the skyline of New York City. At times they will be huddled together for protection or coming out of hiding. Even the sculptural material became a metaphor. “The first ones I did were very rough because I made them that way, untouchable – but the material could cut you apart if you wanted to hold them. So, a year later I went back and now you can take pictures with them and interact with them. It is a more friendly feeling.”
For Molina it is all about embracing, embracing his family, his artistic expression, the space he creates for other artists, and most of all himself, being the best he can be.
INTOXICATING ROSES
THIS SUMMER FAVORITE IS THE MOST FRAGRANT CHOICE FOR YOUR GARDEN BY
Roses delight us with their colors and scents. They’re versatile, too, ranging in size from miniatures just inches high to climbers that can be trained to scale a fence or wall, or cover an arbor. Roses come in many colors, from pastels to bright, as well as white and ivory. They are at their peak in early summer, but many will continue to bloom through much of the summer and into fall.
We also love roses for their fragrance, which is positively intoxicating in some varieties. Rose scents can be rich and sweet, musky or citrusy, and can vary in intensity at different times of day. The medium pink blossoms of the Gertrude Jekyll rose are among the most richly scented of all roses. Some other varieties prized for their fragrance include Mister Lincoln (dark red), Chrysler Imperial (dark red), Double Delight (red blend), Fragrant Cloud (orange red), Hansa (medium red), Tiffany (pink blend), Reine des Violettes (mauve), Rose de Recht (deep pink), Honorine de Brabant (pink blend) and ‘Rosa alba Semi-plena’ (white). Roses bred by David Austin are known for their fragrance. Many roses are at their peak fragrance in the morning, so if you cut some to enjoy indoors in a vase, the best time to gather them is in the morning.
You can grow roses in a garden of their own or along with other flowers in a mixed perennial garden. An outstanding place to see (and smell) roses in the Hamptons is the Village of Southampton, where the Southampton Rose Society has created and maintains 5 gardens in the village. The SRS garden next to Rogers Memorial Library is spectacular, so by all means go to see it. The plants are labeled with their names, so when you find one that you love, you can look for it at a local nursery or garden center, or order it by mail.
A special group of roses, known as English roses, developed by David Austin, a breeder in England, have become popular here and can be found in many East End gardens (and are available at local nurseries and garden centers). These roses have a bushy growing habit which makes them do well in both traditional rose gardens or combined with other flowers in a mixed garden. The plants may be bushy, upright or arching in form, and vary in height. They look great planted in groups of 3 of the same variety, which allows them to grow together into a dense shrub with more visual impact. You can find David Austin roses in many local garden centers and nurseries.
ANNE HALPINAnother low-maintenance line of roses is called Knock-Out. These plants are self-cleaning, meaning that you don’t have to deadhead (remove old flowers when they fade) or prune to get the plants to rebloom.
Give your roses a sunny spot. Water regularly if it doesn’t rain; roses do best when they receive an inch of water each week. Fertilize your roses 3 times per year – once when you plant them (or after pruning them in spring thereafter), again after their first flush of flowers, and a third time about 2 months before the average date of the first frost.
H RES sat down with Roland Witherow, one of the founding partners at Witherow Brooke, an elite international private tuition and homeschooling agency. Our children’s education is of the utmost importance and for those families looking to work with a full-time private tutor, the expertise of someone like Roland is invaluable.
Why do families come to you for help with their children's educational needs?
Every one of our clients has unique circumstances, but generally they are looking for something which a traditional school education cannot provide. Sometimes a child is just not being stimulated or supported at school properly and they need a tutor to give their children the best chance to reach their educational ambitions, especially with the increasing competitiveness of top-tier higher-education institutions. Some families also have unique lifestyles, for example with a lot of travelling, and for them a traditional school schedule just doesn’t fit in. So we help families bring on board either full-time home schooling tutors with bespoke curricula, or tutors to work alongside their child’s school in an academic enrichment capacity.
There are lots of tuition agencies out there. How is yours different?
Both the recruitment and support services we offer to clients are unique. For each position we launch a bespoke global search to find the best possible candidate for each individual student and family. We usually receive hundreds of
applications for each position and from these we narrow the candidates down to a final shortlist of three, through a series of interviews and selection stages. My business partner William and I also personally stay on hand throughout the engagement for both tutor and family, to provide support and guidance as educational consultants. This is a fairly niche area and as far as I’m aware we’re the only company that provides this service.
Have you noticed any trends or particular challenges in this space in recent years?
We are certainly in the middle of a period of huge change in education and indeed the world in general. A lot of families are moving towards fulltime home-schooling, some to support a more remote lifestyle, others to give their students time to pursue extracurricular ambitions, since home-schooled students can typically cover the same material as their classroom peers in a fraction of the time. Another challenge lies in the advancements of technology and in particular AI. Schools are struggling to adapt to this in a way to best prepare their students for life beyond school, and with children today being digital natives there are further challenges helping them navigate this aspect of their life, in particular when it comes to the social and motivational effects such technology can have on their education.
ROLAND WITHEROW OF WITHEROW BROOKE
Working for the rich and famous, you must have encountered some fairly extraordinary roles? Of course we have strict confidentiality with all of our clients. Without giving any particulars we have recruited for royal families who require very particular profiles and characters of tutors. We have also helped students enter the worlds of filmmaking and oil trading with specialists in their fields, and even approached world-leading professors in psychology and philosophy to take on mentorship positions and introduce students to the broader philosophical aspects of life.
How did you get into this line of work?
I have been a lifelong educator, having worked as a private tutor for almost two decades. After graduating, I was enlisted by a travel agency to provide schooling to the son of a high-profile client of theirs while they travelled the world. After completing this role, the family put me in touch with friends of theirs and I set up Witherow Brooke to specialise in the bespoke end of tuition and education. It’s an unusual profession but always fascinating, and incredibly rewarding to witness the progress of our students.

SUMMER GARDENS OF THE HAMPTONS
BY ALICE PHILLIPSHamptons’ gardens are legendary, filled with blooms from May through October. Local favorites include such perennials as iris, every size, shape and color of hydrangea, roses by the score, day lilies of every color, and fields of lavender – and let’s not overlook annuals. Geraniums by the reds, pinks and corals, swaths of impatiens, and petunias of every possible color permutation. If you’re looking for gardening ideas – or to spend quiet afternoon in someone else’s garden (or garden store) – here are a few suggestions:
LongHouse Reserve
133 Hands Creek Road, East Hampton longhouse.org
LongHouse Reserve is part garden reserve and part sculpture museum. The 16-acre preserve, which is located in East Hampton’s Northwest Woods, features pieces from Buckminster Fuller, Yoko Ono and Willem de Kooning, and many other artists. Jack Lenor Larsen, an internationally known textile designer, author, and collector, built LongHouse as his home to showcase a creative approach to contemporary life using art in living spaces. Built in 1986, the home is 13,000 square feet over 4 levels; the gardens are both art form and museum, with a diversity of sites housing more than 60 contemporary sculptures. Permanent works are on display along with those on seasonal loan from artists, collectors,
and dealers. The gardens at LongHouse are not just landscapes as art form but also demonstrate different planting potentials for the local climate, with a wide variety of natural and cultivated species. The gardens change seasonally: beginning with a million daffodils in April, to the June roses to the dazzling colors of the trees in fall. Highlights of a trip to LongHouse Reserve include the water lilies, lotus plants, bullfrogs, turtle and other pondlife of Peter’s Pond, a study in height perspective in the Red Garden, and a life size chess game designed by Yoko Ono. LongHouse is open from Wednesdays through Sundays from April through December. Admission is free for members; $10-$20 per nonmember adult.

Madoo Gardens
618 Sagg Main Street, Sagaponack madoo.org
Artist, writer and avid gardener Robert Dash started the gardens at his home “Madoo” – which means “my dove” in old Scots – in the late 1960s, first as a meadow of native plantings and then later as a secret garden in the courtyard of a converted hay barn Dash used as his summer house. By the 1980s, Dash’s extensive research into garden design and history yielded the first of Madoo’s many garden follies, inspired by his friend and legendary English garden designer, Rosemary Verey. Plantings were more “gardenesque”, as Dash moved away from the original native plantings into the more exotic. In the 1990s the garden morphed again, this time into the more fanciful Asian-inspired garden that exists today. Till his death in 2013, the gardens continued to inspire Dash in his writing as well as his art. Visit the living history of Robert Dash through his gardens and his home on Wednesdays through Sundays, noon to 4:00 pm. Admission is free; donations are welcome. Face masks are required for all indoor spaces.

MIAMI’S ART DECO STYLE: PAST AND PRESENT
BY MARIETTE WILLIAMS Photo: Shelborne South BeachMiami is famous for many things: pristine beaches, fine dining, buzzy nightclubs, and an established art scene. But another thing that makes this city unique is its Art Deco architecture. According to the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, Miami has one of the highest concentrations of Art Deco buildings in the country, with over 800 buildings located in Miami’s Art Deco District. From posh post offices to historic South Beach hotels, we take a look at how the flashy architectural style has come to define Miami.
Miami’s Famous Art Deco Buildings
Characterized by pastel shades, geometric shapes, and neon lighting, the Art Deco style originated in the 1920s and took off in the United States in the 1930s. Some of the other hallmarks of the Art Deco style include clean lines, the repetition of symmetry, and the use of gold and silver ornaments, which are found on many of Miami’s iconic Art Deco buildings.
One of the best examples of Art Deco style is Miami’s Bass Museum, which was designed by architect Russel Pancoast. The 1930s-era structure used to be a public library until art collectors Jonanna and John Bass donated their private collection to Miami Beach in 1964. The low, square-shaped building has a staggered roofline and thin rectangular windows, and depictions of boats and pelicans carved into the limestone exterior above the museum’s entrance.
The Colony Theater on Lincoln Road is another Art Deco gem. The theater first opened as Paramount Pictures Movie Theater in 1935 and recently underwent a multi-million dollar renovation that restored the theater’s Art Deco
elements in the entrance and lobby. The theater’s facade features distinctive curved neon lights, and the lobby features gleaming terrazzo tile and a pastel-colored bird mural.
And another unique testament to the Art Deco style is the Miami Beach Post Office. In what might be one of the most extravagant post offices in Florida, the building features a rotunda with a gold-painted ceiling, a working fountain, and gold-toned post office boxes. The post office was designed in 1937 by Chicago architect Howard Lovewell Cheney and is still in operation.
Miami’s Art Deco Hotels: Past and Present Visitors can also enjoy Miami’s Art Deco architecture by checking in to a number of hotels like The Gabriel Miami South Beach. Located right on Ocean Drive, the hotel is
spread across four buildings, one of which is the former Park Central Hotel, built in 1937. Designed by famed Art Deco architect Henry Hohauser, the Park Central Hotel used to be a hangout spot for Hollywood stars like Clark Gable. The contemporary property has been completely updated, but the hotel’s restaurant, Meet Dalia, still includes Art Deco details like rounded windows, sculpted gold light fixtures, and opulent velvet couches in rose and navy hues.
Another great option is the Shelborne South Beach hotel. Originally built in the 1940s, the beachfront hotel was designed by famous Art Deco architects Igor Polevitsky and Thomas Triplett Russel. The property has a signature neon ‘Shelborne ‘ sign above a circular overhang, and the lobby features hanging starburst lights, cranberry-toned mid-century furniture, and an oversized marble check-in desk.
A newer addition to Miami Beach, The Goodtime Hotel opened in 2021 and features whimsical Art Deco details like pink rotary phones, a coral-colored library, and cheeky leopard print benches. The hotel’s main attraction is the Strawberry Moon restaurant and pool club. Pinstriped awnings, teal scalloped cabanas, and striped pastel pool tiles welcome travelers to the hip pool deck. The hotel is a throwback to Miami’s Art Deco heyday and also represents Miami’s current reputation as a haven for relaxation and entertainment.
WEST PALM BEACH’S NEW WATERFRONT OASIS
Olara, West Palm Beach’s most alluring new address, will be home to 275 two- to four-bedroom plus den residences that offer resortinspired amenities, effortless hospitality and service and an exclusive, luxurious lifestyle with views of the Intracoastal Waterway, Palm Beach Island and Atlantic Ocean. Developed by New York City-based real estate investment manager, owner/operator and developer Savanna, the project is a haven for effortless living exquisitely designed with residences overlooking the water, complemented by a holistic amenity suite on the sixth floor that enhances the South Floridian lifestyle.
With architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors by Gabellini Sheppard Associates, Olara will reflect an elegant harmony between the design and its connection to the surrounding neighborhood landscape. Rising 26 stories, Olara’s architecture reflects the water before it. The residences boast a timeless façade with grand, glass terraces, floor-to-ceiling windows and soft curves, and an open, spacious floor plan to celebrate the year-round warm weather and offer generous water and Palm Beach Island views. The tower’s sophisticated homes were designed to be bright and airy, and open spaces are bathed in abundant natural light to foster everyday indulgence and true luxury living on the water. The European-style, gourmet kitchens tout white matte lacquer cabinetry; honed Volakas marble countertops, backsplash and island; as well as a full suite of Gaggenau appliances. Select spa-inspired principal bathrooms feature dual water closets, custom floorstanding, oak vanities with Breccia Capraia marble and custom integrated, and high-definition illuminated mirrored medicine cabinets with bronze accents that cohesively tie together with the white marble floors.
Olara will encapsulate more than 80,000 square feet of amenity space spread across its grounds, including an acclaimed waterfront restaurant; private dock complete with a houseboat, boat slips, direct Intracoastal access and a concierge for arranging seafaring experiences; a residents'
lounge; waterfront veranda with grills and fire pits; co-working space; and much more. One of the most intriguing aspects of the development will be the 13,000 state-of-the-art fitness center designed by The Wright Fit. The indoor-outdoor space will encompass an expansive terrace that wraps around the fitness center with designated areas for open-air yoga, performance training with turf lanes, and mat Pilates. Adorned with two swimming pools, one will be a designated lap pool with the other appointed for leisure and relaxation. The grounds separating the two swimming pools and facing the Intracoastal will be lushly landscaped by EDSA. This waterfront veranda features mature palms, brightly tiled planters, and shaded seating areas with a stone fire pit creating an atmosphere indicative of a wellness lounge. Not only will there be ample workout and wellness spaces throughout, but the fitness center will also have an open-air juice bar where residents can enjoy their morning green juices after their daily workout while taking in the unrivaled views that Olara has to offer.
Olara will be located at 1919 N. Flagler Drive. Pricing begins at $2M. For more information, please visit the website at olarawestpalmbeach.com or contact the sales office at 1.561.295.7186 or sales@olarawestpalmbeach.com.

Part of the appeal of Palm Beach is its whimsy, eccentricity, and decadeslong legacy. Below, find a few historic and architectural marvels that are must-see landmarks on the island.
Worth Avenue Clock Tower
At the easternmost end of Worth Avenue sits the Worth Avenue Clock Tower, one of the most iconic landmarks of the island. Flanked by swaying palm trees and with the wide blue Atlantic Ocean as its sparkling backdrop, this 25-foot tower was built in 2010 as a monument to the Palm Beach Pier that once stood in the same spot (before a series of storms ravaged it, beginning with the catastrophic 1928 Okeechobee hurricane).
Coral Cut Wall
The island of Palm Beach is flat, sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other, with one notable exception — the coral cut wall that seems to rise out of nowhere along North Lake Way. Bending around the southwest corner of the Palm Beach Country Club golf course, this
mound of rock and coquina shell stretches up to 200 feet tall and is shrouded in many spooky local legends, earning it the nickname “Witch’s Wall.”
Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea
Built in 1889, the Episcopalian Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea has seen a range of parishioners over the centuries, from Palm Beach’s Founding Father, oil and railroad tycoon Henry Flagler, to former president Donald Trump, who married Melania there in 2005. (Michael Jordan also held a wedding there in 2013.) The tropical gardens and courtyard of the Gothic marvel are open to explore.
Grave of Johnnie Brown
A headstone may be just about the last thing you expect to see on Palm Beach, and in fact, the grave of Johnnie Brown is one of only two marked graves on the island (the other is next to it). That’s because Johnnie Brown wasn’t a human but a spider monkey — the beloved ever-present pet of eccentric architect Addison Mizner. Adding to the intrigue, the “human monkey” is interred in a most unexpected location: the
