Artistic Beach Escape

We designed this contemporary Palm Beach retreat to reflect the owner’s personal taste while honoring the home’s Mediterranean Revival roots. Traditional detailing was replaced with minimalist casework and trim, and we opened up the rooms to allow for better flow. Restraint guided our approach, yet artistry and craftsmanship are ever present—from straw marquetry by Ateliers Lison de Caune in the primary bedroom to a Chuck Close self-portrait that brings drama to the entry. French doors connect indoor living spaces to summer gardens, creating a vacation home equally suited to quiet moments and social gatherings. Photography by Esto – David Sundberg
