This issue makes a splash
with innovative designs that treat patio
and pool areas as extensions of the interior.
Because pools play a prominent role in
the Florida lifestyle, they are often
the springboard for a home’s design.
When planning an estate home in Lake Butler
Sound, architect Daniel F. DeLong and
builder/developers Scott Green and Rial
Jones positioned the floor plan so the
pool, lanai and summer kitchen would open
to the living area. Bringing the vibrant
hues of the outdoor furniture inside,
designers Dan Miner and Ron Nowfel conceived
an interior that captures the imagination.
At The Bear’s Club in Jupiter, Joseph
F. Brennan’s company built a Mediterranean-style
villa whose facing loggias form a private
courtyard for a classically styled pool.
The native foliage surrounding the courtyard
and pool melds with the interior’s
eclectic traditional design by Lisa Erdmann.
In quintessential Palm Beach style, designers
Keithley Miller, Mimi McMakin and Brooke
Huttig created a sun-kissed, Old World
design in a 1920s estate. Like many of
the island’s venerable homes, this
one features a trellis lanai off the courtyard
and pool area.
Landscape architect Mario Nievera refurbished
the grounds, making it a lush, tropical
paradise.
Through the collaborative efforts of architect
Clifford M. Scholz, interior designer
Perla Lichi and builder Michael K. Walker,
a couple realized their dream of a palatial
Venetian villa on the Gulf Coast. Not
surprisingly, the canals of Venice inspired
the patio and pool area.
And designer Cheree Roberts fell in love
with her house because of its Frank Lloyd
Wright feel and wall of sliding-glass
doors that take in a scenic view of the
pool and Fort Lauderdale’s New River.
With these stories and more inside, you’ll
want to dive right in.
