WHEN AN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS OWNER WITH A YOUNG family decided to build his own personal “resort” in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., he desired the same level of luxury and quality that he was accustomed to from the five-star hotels he frequented in his business travels all over the world. In fact, during the creation of this 10,000-square-foot waterfront vacation retreat, he regularly sent his interior designer, Danielle DePerro, photographs of furniture details and finishes he’d seen used in private jets and top-tier hotels. “The photographs helped me understand the crème de la crème of style and accommodation,” DePerro says. “We are talking about places in Dubai, Paris and all over Europe — always five-star gorgeous resorts.” The designer welcomed the challenge to make his home feel like that too. From the…

When interior designer Suzanne Nichols designed a brand new, custom vacation home in Reunion, Fla., for a retired NBA player and his family, she started with a black, white and gray palette. She then added a defining pop of color to each room to create this spectacular 11,000-square-foot residence. The use of stone, silver, metallic mosaics and quartz create balance and lend a contemporary yet transitional vibe. “Transitional homes are some of my favorite to design because of the juxtaposition of the new and old,” the designer says. Nichols, who provided all of the home’s exterior and interior detailing, collaborated with Zero Latitude Design Firm and the builder, Triton Builders, Inc.

SOME HOMEOWNERS KNOW EXACTLY what they want and they’re willing to wait years for their perfect piece of paradise. That’s exactly what happened to interior designer Lorraine Rogers-Bolton and her husband Keith Bolton. After falling in love with an exquisite waterfront lot in Jupiter, Fla., around 12 years ago, the couple put in an offer and later discovered they were outbid. A decade went by and they found themselves in the same neighborhood again when a Realtor friend told them there was a really nice waterfront lot that had recently come up for sale just around the corner. “It was the very same lot … I got chills immediately,” Rogers-Bolton says. “You rarely get two opportunities at something you love.” When it was time to hire a builder, the couple…

When architect and homeowner Ryan Young, and his wife Julia, considered the design of this new, 4,000-square-foot home in downtown Orlando, Fla., they knew that it would be modern and liveable with enough room for their two young sons to explore and grow. Always fascinated by the imperfections in natural materials like wood, concrete and steel, Young was inspired to design the home with exposed steel beams, raw steel accents, natural walnut and cherry wood walls, and coquina shell features that are indigenous to Florida. The now airy light-filled home is “a pleasant mix of natural exposed materials that exude a comfortable warmth that feels connected to the land and to our family,” Young says. 407/849-0025; www.interstructinc.com…

Superyacht ZEN creates a new typology of yachts. Unique in its use of space, the profile of the 262-foot yacht breaks from the typical layered “wedding cake” appearance, without sacrificing usable space. Fashioned from a collaboration between Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design and Feadship Royal Dutch Shipyards, ZEN caters to the clients’ tendency to spend a large proportion of their time in one preferred lounge and on one particular deck. The result? ZEN concentrates all the owner’s spaces on only two decks. A full-beam front section of the main deck is reserved for the owner state room and lounge, office, and his and hers dressing area and bath. At the sides, full-height glass facades offer sweeping vistas of the ocean from those key areas. All of the yacht’s furnishings are custom…

“An extensive collection of important Mid-century furniture was acquired for the home including the top names of both Italian and American designers of the period,” interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard says. WHEN FASHION DESIGNER Tommy Hilfiger and his wife Dee purchased this Golden Beach, Fla., estate in 2013, he wanted colorful interiors inspired by the 1960s and 1970s where he could showcase his contemporary art collection. After doing some research, he hired famed interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard to design his 14,075-square-foot seaside home. “I grew up in the 1970s, in the Studio 54 days, and I wanted it to be nostalgic with a pop art feeling,” says Hilfiger, who founded his eponymous Tommy Hilfiger brand in 1985. “We hired Martyn because we liked what he did for Elton John…

The dining room’s luxuriously upholstered chairs surround a custom table topped with mirrored inserts rimmed in silver and bronze. “I want to focus on the details,” says interior designer Perla Lichi, who explains that though dramatically draped, she keeps window fabric subdued. WHILE TRENDY THESE DAYS OFTEN MEANS INDUSTRIAL, spare, monochromatic … with jutting, angular lines and furnishings, there are still those who hold that what is beautiful is the very opposite. That was the aesthetic sought by a Guyanese family who described to interior designer Perla Lichi the timeless, classic and utterly luxurious vision they had for their 15,000-square-foot estate that would be both an entertainment showplace and their home in Guyana. Lichi is a designer who has made “palatial style” her signature. She has established relationships with fabricators…
