LIGHTNESS OF BEING
Tucked away between an unspoiled private beach and a cosmopolitan small town, this inimitable 22,000 square foot British West Indies home features 9 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and harks to a casual elegance inviting pensive moments, glamorous entertaining and taking in the beauty of a South Florida afternoon.
“Chandeliers are the marvels of drop-dead showiness, the jewelry of architecture.” –Peter York
ICE BREAKER
The stair hall features a custom designed 34-foot Swarovski crystal chandelier. Melting into the floor, it strikes a dramatic effect against the classic nickel-joint backdrop.
“In this home, I was striving to merge form and function. I want my spaces equally lovely and livable. The family room’s custom-made lacquered wood coffee table has a large screen TV that pops out and pivots by simply pressing a button.”
HIDDEN FIGURES
“This room has layers of texture and subtlety of color. Glazed paneling, silks, velvets and furs create a tableau of neutrality. A breakfast bar, bath entrances and a motorized television are concealed behind custom woodwork and paneling.”
entertaining at home
The media room was built for comfort and relaxation, keeping in mind a calming frequency of color. In the basement wine room, Angela created depth and lightness with carefully placed backlighting and a lacquered grasscloth ceiling.
