Situated on a double corner lot with an expansive dock with access to the Intracoastal Waterway, the home is perfect for a family who enjoys the outdoors and all that a South Florida lifestyle can offer. Interior designer Danielle DePerro met the homeowners just a few years ago and this project marks the fourth…

FROM ITS STACKED MARBLE STREET-FRONT FACADE to its indoor presentation of magnificent reclaimed woods, this newly built 5,000-square-foot Palm City house in the Floridian National Golf Club balances chic modern forms with timeless organic warmth. Having already commissioned architects Peter Stromberg and Maria Chacon, builder Earnie Carrere, and interior designers Dianne Davant and Priscilla Hyatt Councill, homeowners Tony and Suzanne Kissling asked LEED consultant Kyle Abney to join the group. “My husband and I were pretty hands-on with this project,” the wife says. “We knew we wanted an energy efficient home with a relaxed living environment, and one that also brought the outdoors in.” “When you’re in the home, you feel like you’re on the river,” interior designer Dianne Davant says. “Glass doors pocket all the way back and the…

”THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT COSTA RICA,” KEY WEST-BASED interior designer David L. Smith says. “The wild life, the climate, the proximity to nature, a rugged rainforest fronted by both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans …” With his early involvement in what would result in a 6,800-square-foot aviary overlooking the sea, Smith still seems awestruck by the grandeur he along with the architectural team and builder created from the jungle mountainside. While the well-traveled homeowners could have lived any place, the gated community of Tulemar in central Costa Rica already had an infrastructure for water and electricity supplied to the 33 one-acre homesites. “Yet there were challenges,” says Smith, referring to the strict codes to deal with natural seismic activity and the rolling topography of steep jungle terrain. “But for the owners…

TRADITIONALLY, INTERIOR DESIGN TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION such elements as form, balance, color, texture and shape, but at Golden Oak in the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., the use of a “Hidden Mickey” feature makes that shortlist. “It’s kind of an unspoken element across the board in this community,” interior designer Jessica Lee says. She and her associate, interior designer Molly Walker, were “tasked” with hiding the “Hidden Mickeys” inside the home. The pair worked together closely with builder Rial Jones to create a fantastic 9,154-square-foot residence that conveys an overall sense of sophistication and fun that is evident right from the start. In the living room, rust-red velvet accent pillows from Kravet add elegance to a Lee Industries modular sofa clad in taupe linen. Complementary tones found in…

Earlier this year, Minotti celebrated its milestone 70th anniversary with the launch of its new 2018 Collection. Entirely coordinated by architect Rodolfo Dordoni, the collection reveals a design approach open to a variety of stylistic input rooted in the diverse cultural backgrounds of four international designers, including the design studio Nendo directed by Oki Sato. From Japan, this intuitive brand brings us a light graphic tone with a subtle poetry that runs through the spirited collection. The attention to unexpected details invites us to discover the studio’s three new concepts closely. Tape is a collection of seats with a strong personality suited for both residential and hospitality settings; the Waves cocktail table directly references the undulating profile of the ocean; and Ring is a family of five tables that play…

WHEN FLORIDA HOMEOWNERS RANDY AND LENNIE SMITH decided to downsize, they eventually found their dream home on the Intracoastal Waterway in Delray Beach, Fla. “First we sold our large home and then purchased a townhouse which was too small,” the wife says. “Finally, we found the perfect home.” In 2014, the couple commissioned award-winning architect Jeffrey Silberstein to create their waterfront home for them, and interior designer Susan Connor, who had previously worked on two residences for the Smiths, to style the interiors. Connor embraced the pag home’s architecture. “We wanted to be very minimalistic in our design approach and keep the focal point on the stunning views outside,” she says. The design team’s aim was to create a sleek, cool, modern living environment that would give the owners an…

LOCATION, LOCATION, location … despite opportunities to purchase or build their new home anywhere, the owners of what would become a 7,000-square-foot contemporary showplace knew just where they wanted to live. And it’s right where they had spent many a winter — in the exclusive gated community of Boca Raton’s Polo Club, where they had owned a nearby seasonal home for several years. So, when the opportune availability of a large property on the lake presented itself, the couple commissioned a dynamic team to bring their new vision to life. Enter architects Mark Muir and Jay Colestock, builder Terry Cudmore, and interior designer Susan Lachance, who have worked together on more than 30 previous projects. With such a spirited collaboration, the owners say that their dream of “a wine room…
