LUXURY HOME + DESIGN
Triumphant Symmetry
A triumphal arch frames the dining room, which has a renewed symmetry with well-positioned columns and deep windows. The arch connects the dining room with the living room space (opposite), with each featuring a wooden ceiling. “A light stained cypress was used to keep the house light and bright,” says architect Rob Herscoe. Floors are made of engineered European white oak.
A
fresh renovation within the exclusive bay colony neighborhood of Pelican Bay resulted in a dwelling that features the simplicity of the Spanish Mission Revival style. Rooms easily flow from one to the next, giving off a rustic European flair with intricate detailing along the way. What started out as a tragedy for the longtime homeowners after a small fire has ended in this versatile update that completely changed the interior of the space. Odd angles in the original home were corrected and symmetry took precedence. “It was a nice opportunity to make a lot of corrections,” explains architect Rob Herscoe of Herscoe Hajjar Architects in Naples. Due to smoke damage,

the homeowners pass by the glassfronted door to the wine room daily. Ceilings in the main rooms were recreated in light-stained cypress to provide an aged patina similar to what might be found in vintage European dwellings. Likewise, a similar patina was created in the kitchen when new cabinetry was installed, topped with a marble countertop and backsplash. The placement of the home’s original columns was reconfigured and a grand triumphal arch was added, creating a dramatic flair while dividing the dining room from its adjoining living room. “We really tried to inject a bit more authenticity in the home,” Herscoe explains, “at the same time making it more versatile and contemporary.”
Rustically Delightful
The Wine Room
Rustic shelving and marble counters and backsplash give the kitchen a European flavor. “You need to use those surfaces gingerly,” Herscoe advises regarding the marble, which the homeowners requested during the renovation process.
drywall was removed and architects were brought in to examine the structure. Herscoe and partner Michael Hajjar—who had redesigned a similar home in the neighborhood in a completely different manner— convinced the homeowners that it was time to update. Extensive renovations were made throughout the main portions of the home, including new window and storm shutters, and interesting accoutrements were added. Among the updates is a small wine room constructed in a rear hall near the garage. “Sometimes the entry from the garage is more important than the front door,” says Herscoe, adding that 108

Built-in cabinetry was elevated to the ceiling, walls were paneled, and all was painted a rich shade of blue-gray in the homeowner’s study. The renovated room now has a cozy vintage patina. GULFSHORE LIFE • July 2015

hat do you do when you realize the house you live in just doesn’t cut it anymore? You go looking for another. That’s what Nancy Apel and Greg Stubblefield did when they decided their abode overlooking Naples Bay had become outdated and was too small for their family. When a house down the street went up for sale, they took a look and fell in love with the interior and the architectural design. But their current location had a far better view. So they called architect Rob Herscoe of Herscoe Hajjar Architects and interior designer Judith Liegeois, both of whom had helped create the home down the street, and asked them to reimagine their house along the same, bigger and better lines. “They kept the original house,” says Ms. Liegeois. “But Rob, an under-appreciated genius of an architect, took the very dated floor plan with small, not wellappointed rooms and just blew it open. “It turned into this amazingly workable, livable space that connects totally to the outdoors.” The revamped six-bedroom, seven full- and three

MANSE From page 9 acacia thorns hangs above the livingroom side, while a big TV fills that place of importance on the family-room side. The family room is open to the large kitchen, where a host of different tones and surfaces come into play. “We wanted the house to be modern and clean in its design and finishes, but not so anemically modern,” says Ms. Liegeois. “So the (kitchen cabinetry) is an open-grained, ashy-driftwood. We wanted to bring organic elements to the clean lines of the house. There are a lot of organic pieces.” A massive marble island resides under wooden beams — a visual cue that continues in the family room. Organic elements show up elsewhere, as well: in the raw wood plank dining table and the leafshaped accent chairs as well as in the fur throws in the bedrooms. It’s all a wonderful conversation in each room that lends itself to the natural elements of outdoors. The study also has a natural feel to it, thanks in large part to its walls being covered in warm gray/taupe grass cloth. Another unique feature to that room is that it has a window within the home itself, looking through the foyer and into the living room. “So when you are in the study you look out through the door and into the family room, but when you look out the window, you see into the living room,” says Ms. Liegeois. “It’s like a pop-up study.” Of course, the foyer deserves mention as well, if not just for the statement circular window over the entry’s double doors, but also for the round chandelier, by New Zealand lighting designer David Trubridge, who gets his inspiration from Maori people and the flax plant that is native to the region. Again, it’s a natural element that works beautifully in a modern setting.
Moving outdoors Part of what makes the outdoor living space so accessible is that when the sliding glass doors are totally pushed back the stone floors from inside transition directly to the decking — without a lip or step. And that leads right onto a stunning zeroedge pool overlooking more seating and the beautiful waters of Naples Bay. “That was hugely important to them,” adds Ms. Liegeois. As the team chose furnishings and accessories for the re-imagined family home, Ms. Liegeois stressed that everything selected for the inside needed to work along with everything selected for the outdoor areas. “They become one,” she says about the two areas. “On a beautiful day when you open up all those doors, the
½-bath home seems to defy any particular style and yet is a monument to clean lines, beautiful surfaces and outdoor living at its finest. “This house suits the millennium,” Ms. Liegeois says. “It’s more for casual living.” There are no formal living areas in the house. Though there are separate living and family rooms, they are connected. It just works perfectly for a large family that loves living life on the water: swimming, boating, fishing, grilling, jet skiing, etc. “They wanted a home that would accommodate all their children. They wanted a home that flowed — meaning from room to room there was a sense of continuity,” says Ms. Liegeois. “As you’re sitting in the family room you can see into the living room and/or into the study. The family can be in different parts of the house but still be connected with one another.” A soft palette of whites, creams and taupe is used throughout, and many of the fabrics throughout are indoor-outdoor so they can take a lot of use. The main living spaces (the living and family rooms) are separated only by a standalone two-way fireplace that’s wrapped in beautiful Venetian plaster.

family room and living room are totally connected to the outdoors. The areas are seamless. It’s done very thoughtfully.” And that means the homeowners have many more years of enjoyment ahead of them in a place they truly call home. ■
