 or the design of a Boca Raton residence in the Aragon, James John Goodman
found inspiration in the Old South and pre-Civil War plantations of Savannah. During this period of American history,
the homes of many Southern families were appointed with furnishings that reflected their close ties to
France.
"One of the reasons I
decided on a more traditional took for this oceanfront apartment is that its dimensions are 'Empire scale' in
proportion," Goodman says. "You have rooms that, for their width, are very tall because of the 12-foot
ceilings."
To capitalize on the
interior space, Goodman modified the floor plan. He eliminated two back hallways to enlarge the kitchen/farnily room,
changed the kitchen's layout and relocated the master bedroom entry.
