ABOVE: The Great Room acts as a gallery
for displaying the owners’ collection. Suspended
from the ceiling, Dale Chihuly’s glass installation
bursts with color, while one of his “Persian Sets”
appears to float in mid-air on the divider console.
Duncan McClellan’s gong sculpture, “Fifty
Cousins,” pops up
in front of the window.
Sometimes,
buying a new home in South Florida is as simple as
walking the beach, which is how a New England developer
and his
wife discovered their new Key Biscayne residence.
While taking a shoreline stroll, the husband discovered
a luxury condominium that was under construction at
the time.
