Palm Beach, FL
A bespoke commission for a modern family with a busy lifestyle, the home was designed as a welcoming, inviting environment to enjoy with both friends and loved ones.
The site inhabits a scenic, secluded location near the waterfront, creating a feel of openness and space while also ensuring a degree of privacy.
Classic island colonial-style architecture lends an elevated allure to the residence, complemented by clean lines and airy, light-filled spaces. The new building is arranged around a central courtyard, rather than facing the street. Its open sequence of rooms allows the home to effectively ‘flow’ from one area to another – both architecturally and thematically – while remaining anchored to the inner enclosure. Throughout the design process, the day-to-day needs of the owners remained a key consideration. Accordingly, with the family’s love of entertaining in mind, a sense of balance was achieved with a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces. Guests and family members can relax and enjoy the surrounding natural beauty from all aspects of the site, even the interior living spaces.
Within the house, an array of tailormade features was designed to cater to the family’s vibrant lifestyle. Outside, vibrant landscaping creates a sense of serenity and peacefulness within the garden. Features such as the kitchen island and swimming pool act as natural gathering points, while a custom-built guest house creates further space for hosting.
With this project, our team was fortunate to enjoy a highly collaborative relationship with our clients. Consequently, the finished build encapsulates the individual particulars of their unique design vision, brought to life through elevated craftsmanship and attention to detail. The lasting impression is that of a warm yet sophisticated family home to love and share.
