“It’s a look they deemed appropriate here,” Green says. “They wanted something a bit more casual than their main residence,
yet still provide an elegant showcase for
their art. This style also meshes well with the
architecture and flora and fauna outside.”
The harmonious relationship between art, design and architecture is apparent from the moment one enters the home. In the foyer, Estreich widened the space by splaying the two entry walls and adding a coffered ceiling for height. “The desired effect was to open it up and provide a grand, airy backdrop for the art,” Estreich says. Soft lavender, faux-painted

walls and champagne marble flooring act as canvases for striking art and original antiques, such as the mirrored cabinets.
The palette continues in the living and dining
areas — a large, light-filled space that combines Art Deco-inspired furniture and impressive art. “The double doors and arched transoms are original to the space, but the rest of the house featured a series of more formal, closed-off rooms that we enlarged and opened to the outdoor views,” says Estreich, referring to the living area.
