WHERE IS IT WRITTEN that too many cooks must spoil the stew? In the case of two prestigious architecture and design firms, an independent interior designer, and a family of five, the “stew” involved the creation of a brand-new family home in the elegant and established town of Golden Beach, Fla. But despite many parties’ involvement, the final result is as wonderful as each of them had hoped it to be. “I spent many hours gazing at designs and finished houses searching for the contemporary approach that would work for my growing family,” owner Patricia Wexler says. And she found two architects whose spare approach, clean lines, and understanding of the indoor/outdoor life the family leads seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Without hesitation, architect and designer Stephanie Halfen teamed…

Upon entering the home, a dramatic foyer imbued with a vibrant fuchsia bench and dazzling artwork leads to the large living area.

THOUGH IT WAS ONE of the last units to be acquired, this luxurious 27th-floor penthouse in a prestigious building in Palm Beach County, Fla., is by far one of the most spectacular condominiums Bryan Willoughby has ever built. “It’s hard to imagine it was just a raw space when we came on board in 2015,” says Willoughby, who first introduced the owners to interior designer Lorraine Rogers-Bolton.

TO WORK ON A RESIDENCE WITH MUSEUM QUALITY ARTWORK is a design professional’s dream come true. That was the case when North Palm Beach-based interior designer Allison Paladino and lead designer Zita Rudd began reimagining the traditional interiors of this 6,000-square-foot French Regency-style residence located in Palm Beach, Fla. “When we first walked into the home, it was very traditional and over furnished with too many knick-knacks, but the owners’ art collection … well that was simply spectacular,” Paladino says. “The living room was so large that we decided to create two conversation areas, with less but larger scale furniture,” Paladino says. “We selected sculptural pieces for accent furnishings that were bold in sensibility and did not detract from the art.” In a corner of the living room, Paladino and…

The couple spent a great deal of time with architects Randall Stofft and John Cooney, as well as builder Scott Weidle, to develop the essential concepts of this British West Indies Colonial-style home. “Every element of this home represents a team effort,” Weidle says.
