SALTLEAF ON ESTERO BAY
IMMERSED IN NATURE Saltleaf Golf Preserve is among the rarest golf destinations, influenced solely by its natural surroundings, offering a range of ecosystems and environments to be experienced as you progress throughout the course. The 18-hole course, designed by four-time major champion Raymond Floyd and managed by the team at Troon, embraces the natural Florida habitat and remains true to the native topography of the land. There are no formal bunkers and it’s surrounded by scenic landscaping and native flora – homes are rarely in sight. As a result, the experience is one of absolute tranquility. Sabrina McCabe, Project Director at RVi Planning + Landscape Architecture, was a crucial player in the natural design of the course, implementing a variety of native species, relocating historical natural elements, and coordinating
22
LondonBay.com
across engineering and ecological teams to find a harmonic balance of preservation and play. “One of the main objectives was to preserve the course’s character but with an emphasis on telling a new story expanding on the native, surrounding palette,” said McCabe. “The idea was to carve the course out of its natural setting, not create something separate to simply be placed on top.” A variety of species can be found as you play your way through the course, from tropical, saltresistant plants, to living, local wildlife. It’s easy to recognize the elements commonly found in the Southwest Florida landscape ranging from Live Oaks and Swamp Lily to Cypress and Sabal Palms. More obscure, strategically planted species can be found near the wetter areas of the course, comprised of a unique coastal scrub that thrives in sandy, salty soil and protects these wetlands from incoming debris

impeccable design aesthetic and attention to detail for which it has become known. Led by Jennifer Stevens, senior design director at Romanza, the interior design reflects the soft, clean contemporary lines of the architecture. “We used a mixture of metals – bronze, copper, a touch of gold – with soft beiges and off whites warmed by charcoal gray, deeper wood tones and organic textures,” said Stevens. “The furniture’s bold, clean lines are strong and inviting, emphasizing comfort and simplicity.” The sun-filled gallery reveals the great room flowing to the adjoining kitchen, dining room and lanai, perfect for extended everyday living and entertaining. The 48-by-48-inch sand-hued polished porcelain tile flooring serves as a neutral

Texture is at play throughout the home, displayed on the accent wall with woven gray wallpaper in the elegant powder room. “In keeping with the simplicity, decorative elements are minimal, and ceilings are simple step-up trays with wallpaper,” said Stevens. The master suite, club room and a first-floor guestroom all enjoy private access to the estate’s alfresco areas. In the master suite, glimmers of gold in art, chandeliers and lamps are factored into the design to create a restful space. Meanwhile, the

ROMANZA INTERIOR DESIGN
CONDO WITH A GRAND VIEW When Amy and Marc Franco purchased their sixthfloor residence in Grandview at Bay Beach, they envisioned a whimsical and unique space that would be welcoming to their entire family. What started as an unknown, abstract idea of tropical colors but not overly “beachy,” was brought to life down to the very last detail – including a stylish teal coffee maker that needed just the right placement in a new coffee and wine bar. Anna Black, an interior designer with Romanza Interior Design, helped turn their vision into a reality. “Anna took the time to get to know us, understand our vision and how we wanted to use each space,” said Marc. “She brought our home to life. We’re extremely proud of it and credit that to Romanza.” The Grandview home is a carefree getaway for school breaks or weekend escapes and the Franco family wanted the interior design to help set the mood with bright colors and stylish touches. That meant incorporating vibrant, tropical colors – such as coral, orange, pink and teal – into their modern aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from Matlacha artist Leona Lovegrove, Black worked closely with the Francos to create a space that is bright, bold, and expressive, while balancing modern and coastal influences. Lovegrove’s influence is featured throughout the condominium, from the bright colors and unique textures to the wallpaper featuring a Lovegrove painting in the great room. In the dining room, the team added threedimensional wallpaper and a pop of color on the cabinet to create interest. While the condo exudes fun, it also incorporates elements that reference their surrounding environment. Light gray tile floors

run throughout the residence, and brushed nickel accents are featured throughout the space. The kitchen features light gray shaker-style cabinets, a Carrara island with waterfall sides on each end. Black took a more serene and subdued approach to the master suite and office, with subtle color pops to create a comfortable and relaxing space. With majestic views of the bay and the Gulf of Mexico, the Franco family took the same thoughtful approach to their outdoor living space. The outdoor living space includes a dinner table big enough for the Francos and their two children to enjoy a meal and inviting lounge chairs, perfect for watching dolphins and manatees making regular appearances in the water below.
