SITUATED ON A TINY EYELASH OF RUGGED BEACH ALONG the west coast of Nicaragua, a cascade of six rectangular boxes, or “volumes” that sprawl down the Pacific cliff side to Bolanos Bay, make up the 5,600-square-foot residence of Puerto Rican-born architect Francisco Delgado and his partner, British theatre director Christopher Renshaw. Tying the snowy white volumes together is an invisible line which Delgado conceived as conduit for the circulation of ocean air; the entrance of rain into structural “punctures” feeding the interior tropical gardens; and spectacular views of sunsets that flood the western sky. With both owners involved in theatrical presentations, the complex from afar seems at times like a stage set. “No space is wasted with corridors and foyers,” architect Francisco Delgado says. Like a play, each “set” descends…

“If you have the luxury of having multiple homes, pay some attention to your location and experiment a little,” interior designer Christopher Coleman says. “You don’t live the same in every city.” REMEMBER WHEN YOU were a kid and you had that friend with the really cool house where you always wanted to play? One young family’s Florida vacation home is quintessentially that. With their permanent residence being a New York City high-rise, the family of six was ready for a warm climate retreat that the whole clan could enjoy. Looking for a space that was suitable for entertaining as well as daily life with four kids, they wanted casual usable spaces and exciting rooms for the children. And the homeowners were not afraid to have a little fun, which…

Best known for its beautiful turquoise waters and pristine beaches, the idyllic island of Anguilla, located in the Eastern Caribbean’s British West Indies, is an oasis of tropical splendor. And situated along 3,200 feet of beachfront property on the northwest shore is the 35-acre Viceroy Anguilla Resort & Residences. In contrast to Anguilla’s traditional, enclosed Mediterranean-style architecture, the architectural firm of Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo created an environment that exudes modern glamour and lets in the tropics with high glass walls flooded with natural light and 200-plus pools and water features that reflect the Caribbean sun. With sophisticated and contemporary interiors by renowned interior designer Kelly Wearstler, Viceroy Anguilla showcases a relaxed chic sensibility with organic elements, such as driftwood lamps, petrified-wood tables and travertine marble flooring.

When Artefacto’s CEO Paulo Bacchi designed his first signature collection, Arte | 5 for Artefacto, he wanted to create something natural and warm that engages the five senses, and draws from the sultry climate in both his native Brazil and Miami, where he also resides. “Taking cues from our environment, I created pieces that are sustainable and organic, yet luxurious,” Bacchi says. Natural wood shapes, curvaceous glamour, urban bustle, understated elegance and runway chic, form Canyon, Hollywood 20/40, Metropolitan, Midnight Luxe and Sartoria, five eclectic lines that create inviting spaces to gather. “Conceptualizing a place that is warm and relaxing, that can bring friends and families together, is the most important thing,” Bacchi says.

LOCATED STEPS FROM THE BEACH ON THE BEAUTIFUL ISLAND of Maui, this exquisite Hawaiian retreat is a breathtaking geometric island jewel. From surfing and sailing to bike riding, Maui, with its vast open land and miles of sandy beaches, is the perfect setting for a vacation getaway, which is why one very active and athletic California family decided to call it their home away from home. With clients who are serious art collectors, designing a home around an arsenal of museum quality Pacific Rim artifacts, antiquities and a world-class collection of modern art by famous celebrated artists would be a tall order for most — but not so for the art-appreciating interior designer Paul Wiseman. The San Francisco-based designer has always had an eye for art and has traveled the…

THEY SAY ALL GOOD THINGS come to those who wait and that certainly held true for the homeowners of this grand, 6,500-square-foot Ocean Reef residence in Key Largo, Fla. “My husband and I spent 10 years searching for the perfect waterfront property,” homeowner Diane Hill says. The original home was torn down and rebuilt from scratch, resulting in a place that captures the essence of the tropics. While the couple was hands-on in the process, it was the creative team of interior designer Edward Cox and architect Mitch Kunik along with his team of architects, who delivered excellence into every area of the home. “Mitch understood what we wanted, while Ed was diligent about the interiors — they listened to all of our quirky ideas,” Hill says. Inside and out,…

Ever since Alexander Krivosheiw was a boy tinkering around with tools to build odd wood sculptures in his father’s garage, his passion has been to create art. “I know I was meant to begin my life’s work in that garage,” the artist says. Today, his polished, handcrafted bronze and aluminum sculptures, that are curvilinear in form, express a “poetry of emotion” through the language of metal. A self-proclaimed perfectionist, Krivosheiw creates imposing fabrications that reach heights of 18 feet, many of which reside in museums and private collections worldwide. He has garnered international acclaim with exhibitions from New York to Palm Beach to Monaco, and soon underway, a project for the International Olympic Committee. Inspired by “love, life, beauty and above all … expression,” the artist often revisits that garage…

CHOOSING A YEAR-ROUND RESIDENCE IN ONE OF FLORIDA’S most breathtaking locations means the sky is the limit. Known for the area’s high-grade elevation, a select few of the homes here on Lake Maitland in Winter Park, Fla., sit 20 feet above the lake and are mesmerizing enough to draw in drive-by spectators who just want to catch a glimpse of its splendor. Seduced by the lake’s intoxicating sunset views, homeowners Gavin and Annette Ford comfortably settled into this dynamic 15,600-square-foot home complete with private guest quarters, a full-scale cabana and tennis court, sauna and a deliciously decadent swimming pool — well almost. It didn’t quite start off that way with this home that was half built and in need of a lot of care. Knowing the level of attention that…
