FROM THE OUTSIDE, THE SOARING RESIDENCE IN EXCLUSIVE Aqualane Shores, near downtown Naples, Fla., could be a contemporary two or three-story head-turner.

Home buyers looking for the best southwest Florida has to offer in one place need look no further than Lakewood Ranch.

INTERIOR DESIGNER BRIANNA Sheehan and her husband, builder and developer Ryan Sheehan, have had more than a few new beginnings in recent years, and all in fairy tale order. First, a wedding; second, a new home, designed and built by the couple themselves; and third, the birth of their son. It took six months to design and another 10 months to build this 4,000-square-foot urban farmhouse situated on a corner lot in Maitland, Fla. The surroundings are quaint and quiet, but nearby to shops, restaurants and the farmers market. The exterior of the home is a conglomerate of finishes and textures such as shake, lap siding, board and batten, and steel trowel stucco. Ryan’s favorite outdoor element is the entrance tower cladded in Tennessee fieldstone. Inside, the living area reflects Brianna’s…

FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS, RIAL JONES, AN AWARD-WINNING BUILDER in the Orlando area for almost 35 years, lived in a palatial home that he built at “the height of heavy Mediterranean styling when it seemed that every house we worked on had one more layer of molding and one more wall of gold leaf.” Now, with his son and daughter grown, he decided that house was too big. So, for his smaller residence in Windermere, Fla., a 5,500-square-foot home set on a quarter-acre in an upscale community known for its winding streams, tropically landscaped ponds and mature vegetation, he chose a contemporary style with an open floor plan and clean lines, including bigger windows and doors. For help with this new endeavor, he turned to Marc-Michaels Interior Design, his go-to…

INTERIOR DESIGNER AARON TABER, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF colleague Jarett Beckman, designed and completed a full interior renovation of this 5,000-square-foot L’Hermitage penthouse in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., with an elegant and sophisticated scheme enveloped in comfort. “We wanted a good flow for entertaining, transitional styling and a color palette that maximizes the ocean views,” the homeowner says. “Also, since we live in a beach community, we wanted our condominium to be comfortable.” The design team chose tasteful furnishings and luxurious fabrics with textural undertones. “Using pale taupe, off-white, hints of aqua, and sea glass hues, we kept it neutral and light, with finishes in warm natural walnut and platinum accents,” Taber says. “We didn’t want to take away from the backdrop of what nature created, but we wanted the look…

MOUNTAIN LAKE WAS FOUNDED IN 1915 by Frederick S. Ruth of Baltimore. Ruth assembled 3,500 acres in the hilly, verdant land, which is among the highest in the state and brought in Seth Raynor to design the golf course, which is consistently ranked among the top 100 in America. Mountain Lake was recently honored with Platinum status from Club Leaders Forum and is also a Distinguished Club. In the mid 1920’s Edward W. Bok, the publisher of The Saturday Evening Post and The Ladies Home Journal, was a homeowner at Mountain Lake. He acquired 250 acres of the highest land of the park and created what is now known as Bok Tower Gardens. Since its earliest days, Mountain Lake has kept its original character as a place of great natural…
