WHEN BROOKLYN RESIDENTS PAUL AND CATHERINE Stile built their vacation home on a finger of the Intracoastal Waterway in Boca Raton, Fla.’s tony Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, they gave an experienced design team carte blanche. That was an amazing compliment and extraordinary opportunity for interior designer Susan Connor and her staff, as well as architect John D. Conway, and builders Scott and Steve Dingle. “We’ve done numerous projects with John and the Dingle brothers, and the Stiles had seen the home we did for Steve,” Connor says. “They liked its style and walnut veneer, and said, ‘Bring us that kind of vibe … work your magic.’” To start, the architectural team designed 12-foot-high ceilings in the living room and dining room to create an element that flows from…

THIS MOROCCAN-INSPIRED ESTATE, COMPRISED OF 14,000 square feet that includes a main house, pool house, and a two-bedroom guest house, all embracing a fountain-splashed pool and vine-wrapped pergola, isn’t tucked into the corner of a Middle Eastern medina. It’s proudly visible in the middle of one of two Davis Islands, a 1920s “boom era” dot a stone’s throw from downtown Tampa, Fla. “There were many trips to Fez (Morocco), to Rabat … wherever I could obtain the most authentic and highest-quality pieces,” interior designer Sean Rush says. “The search for beautiful tiles and woods wasn’t always easy, but it was adventurous.” Interior designer Sean Rush isn’t Moroccan either. Sean Rush Atelier is a Palm Beach-based design company and gallery that creates atmospheres. As a visual artist who studied in Florence…

PAULO BACCHI, CEO OF ARTEFACTO, ALONG WITH ARCHITECTS Robert Moehring and Francisco Llado, were part of the dream design team that Todd Michael Glaser, a Miami developer, decided to assemble to help create a new house he had constructed on exclusive Pine Tree Drive in Miami Beach, Fla. He didn’t have a buyer — but he did have a vision, and a much sought-after neighborhood comprised of 1930s estates, mid-century low-rises and 1960s ranches. The team began by removing the outdated ranch home that had previously stood on a nearly oneacre lot, and then proceeded to oversee the design and construction of a new, 11,500-square-foot estate that would prove to Glaser that he had indeed made a winning decision. Architects Moehring and Llado, with offices in Miami and Europe, have…

WHEN IT COMES TO THIS GLORIOUS SUNSET ISLAND WATERFRONT property off Biscayne Bay in Miami Beach, Fla., extraneous elements of design or color are simply not needed. Instead, pared down and functionally perfect were the aesthetics interior designer Sofia Joelsson was after. Unlike most South Florida designers, those aesthetics just happen to come from a Scandinavian perspective, as Joelsson is a native of Sweden. “For me, one of the most important features in any design is light,” she says. “I pay special attention to light sources and times of day due to the Nordic’s often fleeting illumination throughout the day.” If Scandinavians are light-seekers, so too, were the owners of this 10,300-square-foot, spectacular contemporary gated estate aptly dubbed “Sunset House,” with striking views from walls of windows and doors along…

JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, award-winning interior designer Louis Shuster had the good fortune to reconnect with a long-lost friend “right out of the clear blue sky,” he says. “She and I were best friends in Philadelphia when we were in our late teens and early 20s.” After Shuster moved to Florida to begin his design career, they completely lost touch. But nearly two decades later, she and her husband purchased a home in St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton, Fla. When the couple asked the sellers who had designed their home and they answered, “Louis Shuster,” the wife wasted no time in reaching out to her old friend. Once happily reunited, it was only natural for Shuster to design his friend’s St. Andrew’s home. But at the same…
