WHEN ARCHITECT KRSTO Stamatovski arrived in the United States from Macedonia in the late 80s, he was well versed in classical European design. At that time, America was in love with Mediterranean architecture. But with the new millennium, the trend seemed to shift. Today, Krsto and his daughter, Violeta Stamatovska, an interior designer, have embraced the sleek, pared-down elegance that finds its aesthetic center in South Florida. “Good design can be found in all ages,” he says. “Trends come and go, but classical principles remain.” It is that philosophy that brought the Stamatovskis to this sumptuous 7,000-square-foot penthouse in Boca Raton, Fla.’s, exclusive 1000 Ocean building. With nearly 360-degree views encompassing the ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, as well as sparkling city lights, this condominium was created to gather in the…

Hammock House, located in Miami, Fla., is created within the classic modernist language of an orchestrated collection of stacked white boxes. In an effort to lighten its massing, architect William Taylor ingeniously balances the second-floor box that contains four bedrooms and a central children’s playroom over flanking one-story shapes. This graceful act of balance pays homage to architect Paul Rudolf’s famous cocoon house which perches out over Sarasota Bay on Florida’s Gulf Coast — Taylor’s hometown. With the back of the house appearing transparent, Taylor created a courtyard plan to bring in natural light to optimize outdoor living. Often inspired by ideals set forth by Rudolph’s “Sarasota Modern” period, Taylor calls this the “Hammock House.” OMICRON GRANITE & TILE, a leading stone supplier in Florida with 11 locations, introduces the…

EVER THOUGHT OF LIVING ON A DESERT ISLAND? IF THE desert part isn’t appealing … what about an island with nodding palms and powdery sand surrounded by tropical lagoons and an aquamarine sea? That is exactly what a family found on a Bahamian cay in the Abacos that is so private that their resort community can only be reached by boat.
