[PUBLISHER’S NOTE]

MOUNTAIN MODERN

ARCHITECT MAX STRANG MASTERED the art of virtual collaboration years ago. And with sophisticated clients who maintain other homes in New York City and Switzerland, building their new winter residence in Lake Wales, in the heart of Florida, would involve long-distance communication between his team, who would design all interior and exterior architecture, and Francesca Poletti of StudioFri in Milan, who would envision and import all of the furnishings. Sound complicated? According to Strang, the synthesis of soft textures and strong, industrial surfaces melded the contemporary structure into an amalgam that was both Floridian and European urbane. Which is to say that the 5,500-square-foot home did not fit into the expected profile of other homes in exclusive Mountain Lake Estates. The owners found Strang serendipitously on the internet. “They saw…

DAY & NIGHT

SHIMMERING LIKE JEWELRY, the skyline of downtown Orlando glitters beyond the expanse of glass that lines this 3,600-square-foot penthouse perched on the 16th floor of Star Tower nestled in the heart of the city. “If your back is to the windows, you’re still going to see the reflection of what’s behind you,” interior designer Reginald Dunlap says. “And the reflective quality of the space is very important for the owners’ growing collection of sculpture and flat art.” With custom chandeliers that soar 10 to 12 feet above the open floor plan to create layers of architectural detail, and graffiti murals throughout painted by Robert Burks, the designer shaped an artful interior that feels like home. The first time Dunlap entered the spacious foyer of the Star Tower penthouse, one of…

MODERN DECO

SOUGHT OUT FOR HER GLAMOROUS and alluring style, interior designer Perla Lichi was commissioned by owner Michael Jones to take his home to new levels. Steps away from the Atlantic Ocean in Fort Lauderdale, this modern house is one-of-a-kind with over 5,500 square feet of space with soothing scenarios inside and out. One such setting is the home’s third-level alfresco lounge. Here, chic outdoor furnishings styled with modern boxy metal frames and cushioned in crisp white shape a blissful space that overlooks the city and seascape beyond. Inside, the illusion of reflection plays an integral part. An open floor plan emphasizes the flow of high-gloss surfaces from the kitchen to the family room, where a trio of mirrors framed in a striking gray metallic line the wall for a strategic…

One With The Land

IN PERU’S ANDEAN HIGHLANDS, the Sacred Valley of the Incas is one of the most remote and mystical sites in the world. Rugged and mountainous, the landscape that once sheltered pre-Columbian civilizations remains rich in archaeological sites and villages where time stands still. In the heart of this high country, adventure travel operator Explora has opened its newest experiential hotel which, like sister properties in Chile and Argentine Patagonia, is rooted in sustainable design. Explora Valle Sagrado leans on the history of the area, as well as the famous architecture of the Incas in Machu Picchu. Located at the site of an ancient corn plantation, the property was designed in four bays on terraced cornfields near Urquillos, beneath the gaze of the Andes range. Because of the area’s rich cultural…

PARADISE BY THE SEA

THE PHRASE “PARADISE BY THE SEA” most always evokes blissful images in the mind’s eye, but in this instance, it is quite literally a sublime neighborhood that meanders along on the gulf coast of the Florida Panhandle where residents live their dreams. Tucked in the heart of Florida’s scenic highway 30A — a unique stretch of azure waters and pristine beaches of the Emerald Coast — this sought-after secluded area hosts charming homesites with small-town appeal. One such home, towering above the windswept dunes, gleams like a jewel in the sparkling white sand. “An all-white exterior blends seamlessly with the area’s sugar-white sand beaches,” says homeowner and jewelry designer Jean Basse, who resides in this idyllic dwelling along with her husband, Dan, when they’re not living in Chicago. “We developed…

COOL CUBES

IT DOESN’T ALWAYS WORK OUT, collaborations between meticulous, creative designers and clients who present with ideas of their own. But when it does, the result can be a functioning statement of beauty and delight. A social venue set the stage for the serendipitous meeting of Jacqueline Gonzalez and Carlos Prio-Touzet, a married couple who share the architectural responsibilities at Touzet Studio, and the Latin-born new owners of a nearly two-acre plot situated just outside of Coral Gables. The land had been cleared of its old structure, leaving 62 arching live oaks that were the catalysts for the client’s purchase. And they were looking for an architect who would help them shift from their previous Mediterranean, red-tile-roof look to an architectural statement that would be contemporary and elegant, and show off…

COLLAB

The design community gathered at Miami’s Ironside building on August 23 - 25 for the COLLAB Miami Boutique Design Show. The intimate scale of the trade show, as well as the quality of vendors represented, was a major draw for the trade.

Deco Moderne

Bold, beautiful and back, a Deco Moderne revival conjures a nostalgic aura as images of geometric shapes and smooth surfaces come to mind. Though Art Deco and Art Moderne styles do overlap, it’s more a question of form: Deco is chic and organic; Moderne is sleek and mechanic. While Deco emphasizes vertical thrusts and stylized ornamentation, Moderne easily impresses with horizontal designs that suggest the fluidity of movement. With comfort as the constant starting point, these styles offer a distinctive look for the home that embraces a resurgence of the streamlined motif often credited for making furniture design an art form.…

ARCHITECTURE FOR ART’S SAKE

WHEN ARCHITECT JERRY SPARKMAN asked Diane DiCarlo and Jeanne Leszczynski what they wanted in the home he would design for them on Longboat Key, their resounding answer was “we want it to be a piece of art and we want it to be connected with the earth.” The pair could tell Sparkman was intrigued. Creating built art in a town known for the lauded modernist homes designed by the visionaries we now know as the Sarasota School is no small feat, and Sparkman succeeded beyond the homeowners’ expectations. The couple, who split their time between Boston, Provincetown and Sarasota, had never undertaken a ground-up project and they had never owned a contemporary home before. Though the large volume that encompasses the main living spaces is statuesque, the 2,500-square-foot home is…

ART OF DESIGN

AN AMERICAN DESIGNER IS SPEAKING FROM a Moroccan garden about a Madrid-based architect who has designed the shell of a Guatemalan’s home built by a contractor with a Basque name. Yes, complicated. But the result of the three-year project is as spectacular as will be found on any continent or in any country. Rising up in poured concrete chasms, clad in thousands of feet of limestone tiles, this 11,000-square-foot, modern manse juts and thrusts, roils and stabs at the clear blue sky of Key Biscayne, seven miles south of the clamor of Miami. Seeming to emerge from the water like a contemporary Atlantis, the home is the vision of one Central American woman, who with her interest in history, art and architecture was essential to every decision. And her choices…

BALANCE & BOUNDARIES

IN AN ISLAND VILLAGE enclave of Vero Beach, this dwelling is where design meets functionality, adhering to both with no compromise in sight. Homeowners Jill and Peter Weise’s 6,200-square-foot house is accessible and uncluttered, but strays from starkly minimal, retaining an identity of a coastal modern aesthetic with undertones of West Indies design. “This balance is essential,” says Jill of the necessity to accommodate her sister-in-law, who utilizes a wheelchair and lives with the family. “My favorite part of the project is how my design team and I were able to push the boundaries of a traditional floor plan,” interior designer Leah Muller says. “By minimizing and not removing architectural elements, by applying rich textures, mixed metals and seductive materials, we gave careful attention to accessibility and family purpose.” Cameos…

LOOKING forward

Anticipation builds as doors to this 5,585-square-foot Mystique condo in Naples open to a foyer that dazzles with a splash of Art Deco and midcentury glam. “You only get that first impression once,” interior designer Renee Gaddis says. “We really wanted a bit of drama, so we created a jewelry box effect in the entry.” Water views have not yet emerged, though a whimsical hand beckons one to peek around the corner where the view steals the show.
