FROM THE EDITOR

It’s November, and the streets and sidewalks of Palm Beach County are already heaving with energy as our area repopulates for season. There is so much to look forward to in the coming months, not least of all the local cultural scene, which grows more robust every year.

This month’s issue is your definitive guide to the top shows, exhibitions, and concerts coming to the Palm Beaches this season. Though there are hundreds of cultural opportunities, we spotlight 25 you absolutely shouldn’t miss, from the most talked-about (Hamilton, part of the Kravis Center’s Kravis on Broadway series) to the most provocative (the world premiere of Ordinary Americans at Palm Beach Dramaworks). Flip to “Cultural Countdown” on page 74 for managing editor Mary Murray’s thoughtfully curated compilation of happenings and conversations.

Few people know how many pollutants are in their home—and the extent of their damage to the body. This month’s cover subject, Annie Falk, found out firsthand, 25 years ago, when she inhaled toxic chemicals in her New York City apartment and nearly died. Knowing this story, it did not surprise me that Annie and her husband, Michael, gave a major gift to Duke University to fund research on exposomics, the study of human exposure to environmental pollutants.

For their part, the Falks walk the talk. They have built and designed all their homes as healthy environments free of dangerous materials that can slowly poison the body. They’ve even gone so far as to forgo bug sprays in favor of nature’s mosquito control: a band of frogs, happily croaking in a lily pond in the garden.

Can green be pretty? Absolutely. Turn to page 66 for “Safe and Sound,” and judge for yourself.

In our tradition of taking readers inside the homes of Palm Beach’s most illustrious residents, this month we spend Thanksgiving with the Murphys. The owners of Pioneer Linens have developed a long list of traditions, many dating back five generations. Not surprisingly, the setting of the table is one of them. See how Penny Murphy combines heirloom pieces with modern touches to create a festive milieu in “No Place Like Home” on page 86.

Enjoy the issue—and all the splendors of season. We indeed have much to be grateful for.

COURTESY OF THE BREAKERS PALM BEACH

By Skye Sherman

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

In Full BLOOM Grand entrances at The Breakers just got a lot more colorful. Through an understated and elegant makeover, the lobby of the iconic Palm Beach resort has been refreshed to present a harmonious marriage of Italianate Renaissance architecture and sleek twentyfirst-century panache. New furniture dots the 200-footlong space—a tasteful medley of bronze and glass, dark wood and brass detailing, African St. Laurent marble and vibrant upholstery—but the highlight is underfoot.

035_INSIDER_1119.indd 35

Blanketed in a garden of blooms, the floor now features a 161-foot, hand-tufted Sacco carpet, spun in one piece by 35 weavers on a loom. The design, inspired by the paintings of French symbolist Odilon Redon, displays botanicals native to South Florida. Working as a consultant to Peacock + Lewis Architects, Tihany Design conceived the flattering flooring, which transforms the space into what designer Adam D. Tihany describes as “an eternal spring in peak bloom.” (thebreakers.com) PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2019

INSIDER THE GOODS

Dreams Come TRUE

Working across varied mediums, from the written word to spirits, these local artists transformed their visions into items you can hold in your hand—or wear around your neck.

Each is available locally and makes a great gift for hosts and holidaymakers this season.

HOW TO SUCCEED Compiled by motivational speaker, entrepreneur, author, and longtime local Jill Liberman, Success Factor X is a coffee-table book with portraits of 50 successful people—from self-made billionaires to Emmy-winning actors to Olympic gold medalists— and their thoughts on success. “I founded a company called Choose Happy—and wrote a book by the same name—and speak all over the world spreading the message that happiness is a choice,” says Liberman. “It seemed like a logical next topic, after writing and speaking about happiness, to inspire people on success. Sean Kanan was in my first book, American Pride; I called to wish him a happy birthday, and we were talking about how we both wanted to do something to inspire others. We hung up the phone as writing partners.” A portion of the book’s profits benefit the American Red Cross. (successfactorxbook.com)

HERE’S TO FAMILY The fully Floridian father-son venture Steel Tie Spirits, makers of Black Coral Rum, relocated to the Warehouse District in West Palm Beach this summer. Ben and Clint Etheridge started with sips from a shared mason jar; soon after, they built their own stills. Since his father’s passing, Ben continues to source ingredients locally, infuse by hand, and produce small-batch spirits on-site. This year, Steel Tie debuted a vodka crafted in collaboration with brand manager John Moore; gin is next. “We worked at it for months until we had a vodka smooth enough to be sipped straight,” Moore says. “There are no low-quality ingredients that need to be masked, so it’s only distilled twice, and we filter it with carbons from Florida coconut husks.” Visitors can stop by for tours, tastings, and take-home bottles. (steeltiespirits.com)

SUN SALUTATION Daniel Jenkins, corporate director of retail at CJ Laing, launched a jewelry line inspired by ancient Greek and Roman pieces that express a love of nature, especially the sun. Ojo de Sol, his collection of adjustable hammered-brass necklaces and beaded earrings, is made using organic elements, and a percentage from each sale brings renewable energy to those in need. “I’ve been creating jewelry since I was young—a bracelet for a friend or trying to make something handmade for my mom,” says Jenkins. “After years in corporate retail and seeing trends in women’s fashion evolve, I felt compelled to create again, so I took a jewelry-making class at the Armory Art Center. Some of my first pieces were made available through CJ Laing. After many months of development and collaboration, and most importantly with the help of my husband, Alan, who currently serves as art and production director at Stubbs & Wootton, we launched our website on the summer solstice.” (ojodesol.com)

HOMETOWN TOME In a new Assouline book titled Palm Beach ($85), which hit shelves in October, Aerin Lauder takes readers on a visual journey of area history alongside her own tips, memories, and stories from decades spent in Palm Beach—many with her grandmother Estée. “Assouline has the most amazing edit of vintage and current Palm Beach photographs, which I loved mixing with personal images that are so special to me,” Lauder says. “My family has so much heritage in Palm Beach, and I am honored to be partnering with Assouline to share one of my favorite places.” (assouline.com)

BESPOKE

The fabled House of Krigler, a European haute perfumery now helmed by fifthgeneration family owner Ben Krigler, has made a Floridian home with a boutique at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach.

“Krigler used to be in Palm Beach, decades ago,” says Krigler, who likens the new golden-and-black atelier to stepping inside a jewelry box. “We were mainly creating perfumes in our clients’ villas. Palm Beach is the perfect location in Florida; it has the class of Europe and the American way of living interwoven together.”

A selection of the House of Krigler’s scenting services, such as blending custom perfumes and candles, is available at the Four Seasons location. Krigler’s personal scent creation process begins with understanding as many of the client’s preferences as possible, through detailed, Proust-style questionnaires and in-person meetings, with inquiries as in-depth as the flavors one remembers most from childhood.

TOP NOTES

“We create perfumes like a writer would write a book,” Krigler explains. “Our main goal is to find a scent that will define who you are. That is the reason why it is so extraordinary; you must really open your soul to us.

There is no routine in it.” The journey lasts a minimum of nine months, and sometimes as long as two years.

Developing a custom scent takes a significant investment of time and expertise, but the end result leaves a legacy—and often becomes a family heirloom. “There is nothing more personal than a fragrance,” Krigler adds.

“It’s closer to your skin than any garment, handbag, or shoes. It becomes an accessory to your personality.”

itly requests that their scent join the bespoke Krigler collection.

Aroma enthusiasts who desire a perfume focused on a location will enjoy one of Krigler’s newest releases: a fragrance dedicated to Palm Beach. “When I created Palm Dream 219, it was all about Palm Beach—the Palm Beach I would dream of in the 1920s, the Floridian Riviera, that glamorous lifestyle and indulgence,” Krigler says. “Since I am an architect, I need to contextualize the creation by putting the fragrance in the environment.

I wanted to create a fragrance that would last more when the climate is humid, and I love the fact that this fragrance is so sensual. To me, Palm Beach is the sensual touch of Florida. Orris, the root of iris, is one of the world’s rarest ingredients, and there are notes of oranges, my favorite note in Florida. It’s an intriguing mix of floral, spicy, and woody notes.”

Four Seasons hotel guests can add the scent-creation process to their vacation itinerary by smelling notes poolside or on the beach. They can also formulate a scent to commemorate special occasions such as weddings, honeymoons, and anniversaries. (fourseasons.com/palmbeach; krigler.com)

ICONIC

Tweed on Top

By Katherine Lande Few garments are as recognizable as the Chanel jacket. Introduced by Gabrielle Chanel in the 1920s, the jacket—crafted from lightweight tweed and cut in an elegant silhouette— served as a comfortable, feminine solution to women’s suiting. When Karl Lagerfeld took the reins in 1983, he successfully reinvented the chic topper as a sartorial staple, and now the torch is passing to Virginie Viard. In her first collection as creative director, Viard weaves a new story for the timehonored tweed jacket, playing with proportions and embellishments, and proving its staying power. Speaking of reinventions, the Chanel boutique on Worth Avenue reopens this month with a fresh look designed by architect Peter Marino and inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s historic apartment on Rue Cambon in Paris.

In fact, his impact led the City of Miami Beach to declare February 8 “Tim Nardi Day.” Recently appointed general manager of Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, he’s now responsible for the day-to-day operations of 309 guest rooms, the Forbes five-star spa, four restaurants, and 30,000 square feet of event space.

ESCAPE Little BIG CRUISING

The Haven fosters an intimate experience within Norwegian Cruise Line’s new OVER-THE-TOP MEGASHIPS

By Paul Rubio

Norwegian’s Breakaway Plus ships, such as the Norwegian Bliss, boast features like an on-ship gokart track.

The debate between booking the newest largerthan-life cruise ship versus a tried-and-true boutique luxury liner is a polarizing one among the cruisegoing elite. The primary argument for the former boils down to the range of overall amenities, from Broadway-caliber entertainment to prolific specialty dining to headline-making temptations like rooftop racetracks and climbing walls.

The key case for the latter is the trifecta of privacy, no crowds, and superior, personalized service.

In an ideal cruise world, elements of top-tier ships, big and small, would unite for the ultimate seafaring vacation. But how?

Well, just ask Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), which has crafted—and now perfected—the answer to little big cruising on its newest Breakaway Plus class ships. The ingenious solution, The Haven, is a private, multistory enclave occupying prime real estate on the top decks, situated near the bow and separated from the masses by keycard access. Comprised of the ship’s premier accommodations plus a dedicated restaurant, bar, lounge, courtyard, sundeck, and hydrotherapy area, The Haven promises the atmosphere and intimacy of a superlative small ship. Add Haven-

specific staff, from butlers to concierges to maître d’s, and rest assured that even the most minor requests will be fulfilled at a five-star level.

The Haven experience begins upon arrival, indicative of the ultra-VIP treatment to come. A personal escort whisks you to an embarkation lounge from ground level, bypassing all check-in lines. (Expect a similar no-wait return at ports-ofcall and a surprisingly seamless, stress-free disembarkation on your final day.) Once on board, a reserved elevator ascends to The Haven, where a concierge team is eager to help with priority reservations for shows, dinners, and activities.

Attendants stand ready to ensure dietary preferences are diligently met at The Haven restaurant and across the megaship’s dozen-plus other dining outlets.

Then, arrive at your luxe lair, which impresses as one of the most well-appointed and spacious accommodations at sea. Whether in a 378-squarefoot spa suite, a 440-square-foot penthouse, a 1,307-square-foot deluxe owner’s suite, or somewhere in between, anticipate a space that includes an en suite bathtub or hot tub, dark furnishings, a wide balcony, and dramatic views through floorto-ceiling windows. Meet your 24-hour trained and certified suite butler and his or her colleagues, who will gladly unpack your suitcases and pour your first (of many) glasses of Champagne. They’ll keep your room immaculate throughout the cruise and handle things like 3-a.m. cravings for chocolate chip cookies, refreshing the ice for your bubbles, pressing your clothes well before the

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

053_ESCAPE_1119-2.indd 54

10/3/19 11:25 AM

night’s dinner reservations, or setting up whitetablecloth in-suite dining.

Within the greater Haven area, the private lounge, restaurant, courtyard, and sundeck mean you’ll never deal with crowds, struggle to find a chair, or have to wait more than a few seconds for your cocktail order—and even in that brief time, you’ll be offered a cold towel or fruit skewer.

While you’ll probably never want to leave such pampering, a great, big—and we mean really big, like 165 tons big—ship lies beyond, with enticements too good to resist. There are indeed bragging rights to riding the only racetracks at sea, walking a plank that extends 8 feet over the side of the ship, playing laser tag on a rooftop, or screaming your way through the most gravity-defying cantilevered slides on the ocean. You’ll want to at least dabble in this megaship fun circuit to prevent FOMO (fear of missing out). And if traveling with children, you’ll get props as the coolest parents ever.

There’s also something to be said for the ability to choose among nearly three-dozen restaurants and bars. Desiring excellent French cuisine? Don’t miss the escargots bourguignonne

053_ESCAPE_1119-2.indd 55

and sole grenobloise at Le Bistro. Looking for a gastronomic journey through Asia with a Latin American twist? Try Food Republic, a sharedplates concept underscored by sublime dishes like Korean fried chicken, hamachi taquitos, and Peruvian beef skewers. In the mood for seafood? Check out Ocean Blue, specializing in simply prepared, freshly grilled fish (six kinds are typically available) and steamed cold-water lobster. Next, sip on a spicy passion fruit mojito from the Sugarcane Mojito Bar while listening to live Latin-Cuban music. Then, get into the casino action (if that’s your thing), pop into the onboard nightclub or deck party (if you feel like dancing), or head to one of the world-class performances in the theater (no, really, this is nothing like the cheesy cruise ship entertainment of yore).

Above, clockwise from top left: The Plank and ropes course; waterslide, Ocean Blue specialty dining restaurant, and The Haven sundeck on Norwegian Bliss.

Below: Entertainment across NCL’s ships include Broadway-caliber productions of shows such as Kinky Boots.

ESCAPE

Start the evening with a mojito and Latin music at Sugarcane before heading to a production of the musical Jersey Boys.

Shows vary by vessel but expect veritable productions of Tony Award– winning Broadway shows Jersey Boys and Kinky Boots, with the best seats in the house reserved for Haven guests, no less.

Through NCL’s ongoing “Take All Free” promotion (which shows no sign of ending), those staying in The Haven are privy to complimentary open bar across the ship, five specialty dining options, unlimited WiFi, shore excursion credits at each port, and third and fourth guests sailing at

no extra charge. When the math’s all said and done, this usually makes up for the premium charged to stay in The Haven, which is typically double or more the price of a balcony stateroom. All Jewel, Epic, and Breakaway class ships offer this special enclave, but to see the product in its most advanced form, book on one of the newer Breakaway Plus class ships: Norwegian Joy, Norwegian Bliss, or the just-launched Norwegian Encore. It’s on North America’s youngest fleet where you’ll see The Haven in its supreme incarnation and understand why NCL has been branded a disrupter in cruising the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Mexico, the Panama Canal, and Alaska.

Whether you want to share your cruise with 200 or more than 4,000 other passengers, live large or keep a low profile, do everything or nothing on the most buzzed-about ships on the sea, The Haven boasts all the fun of a megaship without sacrificing a high-end small-ship experience. (ncl.com) «

QUICK TRIPS

BECOMING Kittitian

The Park Hyatt St. Kitts embraces all there is to love about this PETITE ISLAND

By Mary Murray St. Kitts, with its azure seas, emerald landscape, and rose-gold sunsets, sits as a jewel in the Lesser Antilles. Once regarded as the Mother Colony of the West Indies, St. Kitts and its sister island, Nevis, together form the smallest country in the western hemisphere. Despite its size, St. Kitts is rich in the kind of outdoor adventures, culinary surprises, and luxe accommodations that make for an unforgettable Caribbean vacation.

Those wishing to enjoy a secluded slice of this paradise should stay at the Park Hyatt St. 58

Kitts, a five-star resort nestled within Christophe Harbour on the island’s southeast peninsula. Here, all of the 126 rooms and suites overlook Banana Bay and the Narrows, a straight separating St. Kitts from Nevis, meaning the volcanic isle, oft crowned with a halo of clouds, becomes a constant companion.

COURTESY OF THE PARK HYATT ST. KITTS

From left: Yoga in the sugar mill; Ramparts Pool; Welcome Walk.

Opposite page: Presidential Villa pool and master bedroom; firepit at The Great House.

Start the day on your terrace or balcony with a breakfast of mango yogurt before heading off to yoga in a replica sugar mill. Until 2005, sugarcane was a huge player in the country’s economy, and remnants of centuries of manufacturing can still be seen. The Park Hyatt venerates this history by taking design cues from the plantations of yesteryear and St. Kitts’ architectural heritage.

Traditionally the heart of such properties, the resort’s Great House boasts an array of dining options, including Tots Rum Bar, where guests can sample appetizers paired with the Caribbean’s signature liquor, like Chilean salmon tartare accompanied by a Puerto Rican rum. In the past, stone barns were used to protect sugar from the elements, but Park Hyatt’s Stone Barn caters to mature diners with multicourse tasting menus and expansive wine lists. In addition, the adults-only Rampart Pool recalls the Brimstone Hill Fortress, which was constructed during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For a soothing retreat, book a private cabana by the rampart waterfalls and partake in an afternoon tea service of small sandwiches, biscuits with clotted cream, and petit fours.

To indulge in the quintessence of relaxation, visit the Miraval Life in Balance Spa. As the Caribbean’s first Miraval destination, this zen den prioritizes a mind-body-spirit connection as seen in nature-indebted therapies and an organic aesthetic. Stone walls abound and sunlight wraps revelers in a cocoon of warmth as they escape to a plunge pool or one of nine treatment rooms. Opt for one of the Body Renewal Rituals, such as the Rainbath, which refreshes the skin with flower-water mist and

058_Quicktrips__1119.indd 59

a massage accented by the earthy scent of moonflower.

If this all sounds too sybaritic for the thrill-seekers in the group, don’t worry—the Park Hyatt can coordinate off-site activities as well. Head out on an eBike to traverse plentiful peaks with relative ease. During this excursion, you’ll likely glimpse the green vervet monkeys that call St. Kitts home. You can learn about these primates—that are now believed to outnumber the island’s human population—and dive into the local culture on one of the hotels’ signature journeys. Join Gregory Pereira, a fifth-generation Kittitian and owner of Greg’s Safaris, on one of three tours: Journey Off the Beaten Path, an off-road ride through St. Kitts’ mountains and rainforests; Journey to Sweetness, which explores sugarcane production and sites; and Journey to the Wild Side, a hiking expedition through lush natural areas.

Regardless of which trek you choose, Pereira will share exotic delicacies, like soursop fruit and coconut rock cake, and alert the group to unique flora and fauna, such as the soothing coo of a bridled quail-dove.

Back at the Park Hyatt, there are numerous delicious ways to end your day. On Saturday evenings, savor the flavors of Kittitian All the Way, a smorgasbord of island staples spread across the open-air Fisherman’s Village restaurant. Did you even go to St. Kitts if you didn’t stack your plate full of mahi-mahi curry and breadfruit? Gourmands should reserve a chef’s table at The Great House. Diners sit directly in the kitchen as the chef and his team prepare innovative, multicultural dishes, such as almond and cilantro soup with a yogurt fritter, coconut flan, and toasted almonds. Be sure to request the chocolate blossom, which blooms like a lotus when topped with a white chocolate sauce.

GETTING THERE A 20-minute drive from the Park Hyatt, the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport hosts direct flights from Miami. When coordinated ahead of time, the Park Hyatt can arrange for a KayanJet concierge to escort you from the tarmac to an exclusive arrival lounge, where you can unwind with a glass of Champagne or lemongrass iced tea and small bites. The KayanJet team will take care of luggage and customs before connecting you to your ground transportation to the Park Hyatt. (kayanjet.com)

But the resort’s most heavenly culinary offering is its Starlight Dining Experience on the beach. With the waves as your soundtrack, the sand tickling your toes, and an abundance of ocean- and farm-fresh fare at your fingertips, it’s all too easy to fall under the magical spell of the moonlight and crave for the day when you too can become Kittitian.

NEWPORT the Beautiful

THE VIBE Beautiful, relaxed, full of history

NICHOLAS MELE

Newport, Rhode Island, holds a special place in Molly Mele’s heart for many reasons. Her great-grandfather owned a Newport residence that her parents inherited, and she spent a week there every summer growing up. It’s also where she met her husband, lifestyle and portrait photographer Nicholas Mele, and the couple now shares the destination with their young sons, Johnny and Archer, as well as their dog, Bodhi. The Meles stay at a family apartment in Lands End every summer—and sometimes holidays, too, if not at their South End home in West Palm Beach. In Newport, Molly enjoys the relaxed, refined lifestyle for which the area is known, including activities such as paddleboarding, playing tennis, attending an outdoor movie night by newportFILM, or spending the day at Bailey’s Beach Club with her family. —Skye Sherman

BIGGEST and Best

BMW’s new X7 might just be THE ULTIMATE seven-seater SUV

By Howard Walker Big is best, right? Especially when it comes to flat-screen TVs, shrimp, and SUVs. Why drive a teeny crossover with barely enough room for a gym bag, when you, your friends, and family can luxuriate in three stretch-out rows of diamond-quilted leather?

Until now, if you wanted that kind of space in a BMW you had to settle for a midsize X5 with an optional third row. But trust me, no human should be asked to squeeze into the back of an X5. Small labradoodles and misbehaving 4-year-olds, maybe. Anyone you care about, no way.

While full-size sport-utes do excel at offering large interiors, their sheer bulk and towering rooflines tend to make them about as exhilarating to drive as a UPS truck. Which is why, I presume, BMW, operating under their Ultimate Driving Machine mantra, avoided building a seven-seater for so long—despite losing sales to arch rival Mercedes and its GLS, Audi with its Q7, and Tesla with the Model X. But all that changed with the arrival of the new X7, which is by far the biggest, most accommodating, most statuesque BMW of all time.

It boasts seven thrones across three rows, the load-hauling ability of a Mayflower removal truck, and a rear tailgate opening roughly as big as the entry to the Lincoln Tunnel.

62

Interestingly, BMW didn’t simply stretch the X5 by 10 inches to create the South Carolina–built X7. That would have been way too easy.

Instead, they waited for the introduction of the latest flagship 7 Series sedan and utilized chunks of its advanced chassis. Thankfully, the design team wasn’t required to be especially creative with the styling. This is a big, generic, square box of an SUV, with a tall roof and an arrow-straight waistline. To ensure the neighbors don’t mistake it for anything other than a BMW, it does have a chrome kidney grille so huge it wouldn’t look out of place on a Peterbilt. Love it or loathe it—I’ll leave that verdict up to you.

More important is what’s inside, and that’s where this new X7 definitely has the wow factor. Its interior oozes style, sophistication, and elegance. From its hand-stitched leathers to its deep-grained wood and satin-finished metals, this is one classy cabin. Did I mention the Swarovski crystal shifter?

In standard configuration, the X7 comes with a center bench for threeacross seating. Opt for the two captain’s chairs instead to not only augment the luxury vibe, but also make it easier to get to the third row.

Speaking of that third row, there’s actually adult-appropriate space for

knees and heads. Climb back there, blink, and you might think you’re in a minivan.

But when you press that chrome-ringed start button and hear the bark from the throaty exhaust, all minivan comparisons evaporate.

Two engine choices are available. For the xDrive40i model (priced from $73,900) there’s BMW’s trusty 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six packing 335 horsepower. Or step up to the xDrive50i (yours from $92,600) with a potent 456-hp twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 under the hood.

Both are from the 7 Series sedan, mated to a Teflon-smooth 8-speed automatic, and come with standard all-wheel drive.

While the smaller engine will be plenty powerful for the needs of most buyers, the V-8-engined X7 we’ve been driving endows this

BMW sport-ute with some real muscle. Stomp on the throttle and this 5,600-pounder can lunge to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and cruise all day at triple-digit velocities. Hook a 7,500-pound Airstream to the hitch and you’ll hardly know it’s there.

For such a leviathan, the X7 carves curves with real authority and surprising athleticism. In the world of full-size luxury SUVs, this is without a doubt the most dynamic, agile, and capable handler. If you want to go big and play chauffeur to five or six of your closest friends, this new X7 is worth serious consideration. No, it’s not an Ultimate Driving Machine. Better think of it as BMW’s Ultimate Hauling Machine. «

THE BEST STARTING POINT FOR HEALTHY CHOICES IS KNOWLEDGE.” —ANNIE FALK

To create a healthy environment at home, the Falks used non-VOC paints and opted for natural fabrics like linen, silk, and wool.

few blocks south of Worth Avenue, tucked in a tropical oasis fronting the Intracoastal, sits the Mediterranean-style gem Annie and Michael Falk call home. With its traditional detailing, silk-covered furniture, and subdued elegance, it’s a study in softness and light. But what’s most impressive about the property is what it lacks.

The Falks renovated their home and the grounds to be completely free of chemicals, from the simple banning of pesticides, commercial household cleaners, and certain scented candles, to the more complex installation of a natural alternative to fiberglass insulation and a stateof-the-art water filtration system.

Despite its unwieldy name, environmental exposomics (the scientific study of the cumulative effects of chemicals and contaminants on humans) is becoming a critical field of study in a world that increasingly demands cheap mass production. The Falks have committed to reducing their own exposure to environmental toxins and to spreading public awareness by donating $1 million to Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment for a new facility bearing their name. According to Heather Stapleton, an associate professor of environmental health at the Nicholas School, genetics account for only a small portion of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and asthma, and there is still much to understand about the effect of chronic exposure to the mixture of various chemicals, rather than each individually. “The Falk gift is incredibly important to supporting our research on environmental exposures,” she says.

The couple’s mission to advance research efforts and heighten public understanding is born from a deeply personal experience. Nearly 25 years ago, as a young mother with two toddlers, Annie Falk suffered a collection of mysterious and debilitating ailments. “On the mild side, it started with tingling in my extremities and numbness on my nose and lips,” she explains. “I was tired all the time and started having headaches, which I never had before.” The illness progressed to include nerve and neurological disorders, migraines, extreme gastrointestinal distress, and severe heart palpitations.

“Toward the end, I couldn’t get out of bed.”

Initially, Annie’s condition stumped her doctors because her blood tests came back normal. “They said to me, ‘You’re a new mother; here’s an antidepressant.’ But I knew in my heart of hearts that this was not a mental

issue,” she says. Eventually, she found an allergist who uncovered the problem. “He told me that in his 50-year career, he only saw one other case like mine—a young woman architect. He said, ‘I think your home may be making you sick.’”

Indeed, the Falks had recently purchased and renovated a prewar apartment in Manhattan. They were put in touch with Philip Landrigan, MD, at Mount Sinai in New York, who suggested a specialist to test the chemical levels in the apartment.

The results were astounding. “The home was filled with a chemical soup,” Falk says. “The most egregious chemical we found was vinylbenzene, used in fiberglass, and we had recently installed a tub. The ventilation in the apartment was built for prewar times, and the vent was small and didn’t exhaust anything.” The Falks believe the shower was improperly cured in the factory and humidity from daily use was facilitating the release of toxins into the air.

Landrigan advised her to move into a hotel while they ripped out the renovations and started anew. “Of course, now I know that a hotel is one of the worst places I could have gone,” Annie says.

Hotels sometimes use flame-retardant coatings on fabrics for fire safety, but the chemicals can be harmful to humans. Making it worse, windows are often sealed shut, trapping toxins inside.

“People spend, on average, more than 95 percent of their time indoors, yet the concentrations of many contaminants are higher indoors, such as air and dust indoors, compared to air and soil outdoors,” says Stapleton. “This is particularly true for flame-retardant chemicals—those applied to building materials, electronics, textiles, and furniture to reduce their flammability—some phthalates, which are plasticizers added to materials like vinyl used in flooring and shower curtains, and even some pesticides, now commonly used in drywall, wood, and some exterior home siding.”

When Annie’s condition did not improve at the hotel, she began to believe she would die. “At one

point, I told my husband to just take me to hospice,” she says. “I really thought that was it.” After she returned home to her environmentally clean apartment, her health gradually improved, but it took a few years. “I eventually thought that I might not die, but that my life would never be normal, meaning that I would never be able to be in public places. I couldn’t go to the theater, and I loved Broadway. I couldn’t go to a museum or drop the kids off at school. One whiff of perfume or hairspray, and I would immediately get violently ill.

I had to pick and choose where I went for about two years. I’m still sensitive, but I don’t get a violent reaction anymore.”

Spurred by their own quest for enlightenment about the harmful effects of the chemicals in everyday life, the Falks want others to have access to the knowledge and tools necessary to measure their exposure. “We think awareness is a key step,” says Michael Falk, chairman and managing partner of Comvest Partners investment firm. “The medical community was very unaware when Annie got sick; at that time, doctors had no understanding at all.”

The Falks discovered the research being conducted at Duke because both of their daughters, now in their 20s, attended the university. After meeting key people and learning more about the program, they decided to make the sizable donation. “We want to build out the team to work in the lab to improve effectiveness in testing certain materials and come up with conclusions as to the effect on humans,” Michael explains.

One of the innovations is a silicon bracelet that measures the contaminants in human tissue.

“Whatever sticks to the bracelet is what is on your skin and in your lungs,” notes Annie, adding that analyzation will identify the specific chemical exposure.

In Palm Beach, the Falks’ home exemplifies the relative ease of chemical- and synthetic-free gracious living that is replicated in their home in

STEPS TO REDUCE CHEMICAL EXPOSURE IN YOUR HOME Annie Falk and Duke University offer additional tips for how to decrease chemical toxins in your environment.

1. Find out the chemical content of an item by asking the manufacturer or checking online for the material safety data sheet.

2. Shop for organic versions of mattresses and pillows. One source is organiquesleep.com 3. Don’t allow HVAC cleaners to spray the inside of your heating and air conditioning ducts with biocides or other chemicals. While they may claim the chemicals kill germs or encapsulate dust, they are harmful to humans.

4. Avoid fiberglass insulation and VOC (volatile organic compound) paint wherever practical. Both contain harmful chemicals that are easily inhaled. Check out sites, such as greendepot.com, that offer environmentally friendly solutions for building materials.

5. Vinyl flooring and traditional rug pads are treated with chemicals. Seek out rug pads made from recycled cotton instead.

6. Area rugs are typically better than wall-to-wall carpets that require adhesives.

7. Stain- and water-repellant treatments on furniture, carpets, clothing, and even automobile interiors contain a class of chemicals called fluorinated polymers. Avoid adding repellents and ask if items have already been treated.

8. Use water-based adhesives for wallpaper.

9. Limit the number of televisions in the home and don’t have one in the bedroom. When it’s on, the heat can send chemicals from the plastic screen into the room. If possible, buy glass-screen televisions, such as those made by Bang & Olufsen.

10. In the pool, saline or reverse osmosis treatments require fewer chemicals than using chlorine.

Southampton, Long Island, and their apartments in New York City and Fort Lauderdale. It’s about being aware and keeping it simple, explains Annie. Inside, all the fabrics and carpets are silk, cotton, or wool, and even the polyester stuffing in the furniture has been replaced with cotton batting.

One of the early mistakes Falk says she made as a young mother was having her furniture and rugs sprayed with a stain repellent on the advice of her decorator. “She said, ‘You have small children, and this will protect your furniture.’” It’s a common misperception that allows harmful contaminants to be in constant contact with your family, says Annie. Her solution is to buy an extra roll of the fabric she uses to cover furniture—particularly dining room chairs—so, in the event of a bad spill, she can simply

re-cover the piece. She prefers antiques because they lack the harmful glue used in construction. “Pressed wood is the worst thing to put in the home,” she explains. “In the end, you’re not saving that much money [by buying the cheaper, chemical-laden, pressed-wood furniture] in exchange for harming your health.”

Annie’s mission extends to the food she and her family consume. The author of two books, Palm Beach Entertaining and Hamptons Entertaining, often presides over alfresco lunches on her Palm Beach patio overlooking the Intracoastal. Here, she might serve gazpacho, wild-caught salmon, and green salad atop a wooden table set with linen placemats and napkins. In Southampton, she notes, she has an easier time sourcing fresh, local produce from organic farms, but wherever she is, she seeks food in its natural state.

This commitment to a chemical-free lifestyle continues in her landscaping. About 10 years ago, after whiteflies damaged the privacy ficus hedge surrounding the front yard, the Falks’ landscape architect suggested a preventive monthly schedule of pesticide spraying. Instead, Annie tried every natural remedy she could find, but none worked. Finally, she weighed the cost of replacing the ficus with a clusia hedge that wouldn’t require any spraying; she realized it paid for itself over a period of only a few years.

“There’s just no reason to dump that amount of chemicals; it gets on your feet and you carry it into your car and your home,” she says. “I would avoid all plants that need vast amounts of chemicals.” Clusia, similar to ficus in its density, flourishes as a privacy hedge, and, because it grows well in warm climates, Annie’s never once had to use pesticides on it. “Pesticides can release small amounts of gas inside. A lot of us do indoor-outdoor living in Florida. It’s no good to have your indoors environmentally sound if the outdoors are not. You’re just bringing the contaminants inside.”

When it comes to the eternal problem of reducing mosquitos, Annie opts for another natural solution: frogs. At the side of her house, the amphibians play in a fountain and a rectangular lily pond—and even hop over to the neighboring, pesticide-free Everglades Club golf course for a nibble now and then. “We’re not members of the Everglades,” Annie says, “but my frogs are.”

The Falks hope their gift to Duke University will uncover ways consumers can reduce toxins in the places where they spend the most time. “The best starting point for healthy choices is knowledge,” notes Annie. “In the early stages of building or renovating a home, we focus on how we’re going to use the house and then design. We forget that this is a sanctuary and we want a healthy environment for our family.” «

“EYE TO I”

at the Boca Raton Museum of Art

Long before the selfie, there was the self-portrait. The Boca Raton Museum of Art will showcase some of the genre’s most intriguing examples from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in “Eye to I: Self-Portraits from the National Portrait Gallery,” on view March 23 to June 14. The visiting exhibition will feature more than 75 works—drawn primarily from the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery—that capture the various perspectives and media that exist within the singular classification of self-portrait. Beginning with a circa-1901 painting

by Everett Shinn and continuing through 2018 with Evan Roth’s Internet Cache Portrait, this show also synthesizes how technology has impacted the art form and provided artists with even more resources for self-examination. (bocamuseum.org)

HAMILTON

JOAN MARCUS

at the Kravis Center

JOAN MARCUS

PBI: Why do you think Hamilton has been so popular? What about the show do you believe resonates with so many people?

Stovall: Hamilton checks the traditional three boxes of great theater. [It has] the three E’s: entertain, educate, and edify. Visually and sonically it has something for everyone, employing the language of hip-hop while also giving us lush ballads and earnest musicality. Theatrically, I associate it with how the groundlings must have felt about hearing and seeing Shakespeare. It was new, exciting, and for them.

For all of its wild, innovative spirit, it simultaneously tells a very traditional hero’s journey story that hits at the core of the human psyche and soul. Love, trust, death, fear, courage, mistakes, recovery—these are things we grapple with every day, and they are all on fantastic display in Hamilton.

How did you go about preparing to play George Washington? What research did you do?

Once I had the role, I actually initially focused solely on the text and making sense of it as if I were in scene study class.

Who is this guy? What does he want? How does he try to get it? What’s in his way? Once I had the building blocks under my belt, I started digging in on George Washington’s life, and as the supervising director told/ warned me, the rabbit hole is endless, so I continue to research even over a year into it.

76

The Kravis Center’s Kravis on Broadway Series is always a treat, but this year will be particularly awesome. Why? Because the biggest Broadway hit of the twenty-first century is on the docket. Public tickets for Hamilton, the 11-time Tony Award winner, go on sale this month for the January 28 to February 16 run. After reading Ron Chernow’s biography on Hamilton, LinManuel Miranda was inspired to immortalize the founding father and OG Secretary of the Treasury in a hip-hop-infused musical that premiered in 2015 and went on to take the world by storm. Here, we chat with Paul Oakley Stovall, who portrays George Washington, about his role, Revolutionary times, and the lasting impact of Hamilton. (kravis.org)

Did you discover anything surprising about Revolutionary times while preparing for your part?

Frankly, it’s all a surprise. One of the surprises that’s directly useful in doing the show is that these people lived and communicated through letters. The written word was so precious and therefore had to be not only specific, but also filled with code and innuendo.

If you could have lunch with any of the founding fathers or female figures of the Revolutionary era who would it be and why?

I can’t pick one. Give me three. George Washington, so I could ask him how I’m doing in the role; Phillis Wheatley, the first black woman in the colonies to be a published writer, who famously wrote to General Washington requesting a meeting to discuss the plight of enslaved black people; and Baron Friedrich Von Steuben, an openly gay

5

German immigrant, who, like Hamilton came (kind of fled in his case) to the colonies under duress and ended up being hired by Washington as the inspector general, tasked with whipping the Continental Army into shape during its darkest days.

The cast is obviously a multicultural one, with actors portraying historical figures that don’t necessarily correspond to their own race. What does this type of casting signal to audience members, particularly young theatergoers, about America and the evolution of the American dream?

On a purely surface level, meaning what the audience literally sees before them, it shows many people of color engaged in complicated storytelling, leading complicated lives. Too often in American theater, people of color are two-dimensional or behaving in response to the white characters’ prominent storylines.

On a deeper level, it says that the experiment of America, while highly flawed and messy and some would even say evil, borne of slavery and genocide, is also a story of survival, hope, craftiness, courage, and endurance. Who better to tell that story than the people who had to exhibit those traits in order for their descendants to be alive to tell it?

BALLET PALM BEACH’S

ORIGINAL WORKS Initially, Smith looked into different types of Middle Eastern music that could speak to the story’s setting but ended up selecting compositions by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg.

This time around, she plans on incorporating lots of percussion and the use of a cantor.

Another benefit for the show is that it will be staged shortly after Purim, a Jewish holiday that commemorates Esther’s heroic actions.

Then, on Mother’s Day weekend, Ballet Palm Beach will return with the lighthearted one-act ballet Peter Pan’s Neverland. “The wonderful thing about children’s stories is you can always bring a lot of humor to them,” says Smith, adding that she’s aiming to deconstruct the beloved fairy tale in an effort to tease out the fantastical elements. “It’s going to be a really different take.

It won’t be a straight narrative.”

For this family-friendly show, Smith will structure vignettes around characters like the mermaids, Captain Hook, and Smee, and will imbue their movements with tons of personality.

“Those people are going to be silly and fun and wonderful,” she notes. “A lot of it has to do with the whole creative process when you get in the studio and work through how these characters move and then what becomes their theme steps, the motifs for that group of people. Just like you have a motif in music, you do the same thing in dance.” (balletpalmbeach.org)

more breath to tell the story of Esther, a Jewish orphan who became Persian royalty and, eventually, saved her people from extinction.

“It’s a story about salvation for the Jewish people in Persia,” says Smith, who called the first version of the ballet For Such a Time as This in homage to the Biblical tale’s most famous line. “It’s just a fabulous, wonderful illustration of how one person who does what she’s called to do can save thousands of people.”

For Colleen Smith, founder and artistic director of Ballet Palm Beach, developing new productions is not just a joyful experience but a way to give back to the community. “I love creating something that will ultimately be on the stage and received by people,” says Smith, a Palm Beach County native. “It’s like giving a gift—a big, fancy gift.”

In 2020, the company will dance two of Smith’s original works, Queen Esther (March 20-22) and Peter Pan’s Neverland (May 8-10), at the Page Family Center for Performing Arts at The King’s Academy in West Palm Beach.

While the latter is an entirely new piece, the former is actually a revision of a ballet Smith first produced in 2009. This version has been extended, from one act to two, giving Smith

Travel to the bygone days of Royal India when the Boca Ballet Theatre presents La Bayadère at the Olympic Heights Performing Arts Theater August 1 and 2. This classic ballet, originally choreographed by Marius Petipa, premiered to great critical acclaim at the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in the winter of 1877. Set to music by Ludwig Minkus, La Bayadère, or “The Temple Dancer,” depicts the tumultuous infatuation between dancer Nikiya and a noble warrior named Solor. Following some soap opera–worthy plot developments, the rajah’s daughter, Gamzatti, ends up murdering Nikiya in a jealous rage. Under the influence of opium, Solor visits the deceased Nikiya in a dream world known as “The Kingdom of the Shades.” This is only the second weirdest thing to happen in this breathtaking ballet that blends themes of exoticism so popular in nineteenth-century art with an eternal love story that withstands the test of time.

INTERNATIONAL VIOLIN COMPETITION

ORDINARY AMERICANS

at Palm Beach Dramaworks

FRANK “FRAVER” VERLIZZO

Boca Raton will become the epicenter of the classical music world when it welcomes the second Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition January 14-26. One of the preeminent violin soloists of his generation, Oliveira’s stock skyrocketed in 1978, when he became the first and only American violinist to win the prestigious Tchaikovsky International Competition. He held his first eponymous competition at Lynn University—where he is a distinguished artist in residence—in 2017 as a way to help young violinists jump-start their own careers.

“I need to give all of the young people who are attempting to have important careers the opportunity to do something like this,” he says.

“There are very few competitions in the world that function the way this competition does, and that’s why I think everybody in Florida should be extremely proud of it.”

South Florida music lovers can attend the competition’s quarter-finals (January 16-18) and semi-finals (January 21-22), which will be held at Lynn University’s Amarnick-Goldstein Concert Hall and are free to attend. The four finalists will perform with the Lynn Philharmonia January 25 at 7:30 p.m. and January 26 at 4 p.m. in the Wold Performing Arts Center. The finals are also open to the public but do require tickets, which range in price from $35 to $50.

The competition offers monetary prizes and aims to provide budding violin professionals, ages 16 to 32, with networking, management, public relations, community engagement, and concert opportunities. Participants will be asked to perform a vast repertoire, including a newly commissioned work by Christopher Theofanidis. Oliveira notes that in addition to mastering the masters, up-and-coming soloists should be able to relate to the music of today. “It’s important that young violinists understand their contemporaries, as well as works by Tchaikovsky and Brahms and Beethoven.” (elmaroliveiraivc.org)

This season, Palm Beach Dramaworks in West Palm Beach will mount another worldpremiere production, this time in partnership with Coral Gables’ GableStage. Ordinary Americans by Joseph McDonough will run at Palm Beach Dramaworks December

6-29 and GableStage January 18 to February 16.

William Hayes, producing artistic director at Dramaworks, commissioned McDonough to pen the play after South Florida actress Elizabeth Dimon expressed interest in playing the role of Gertrude Berg, a larger-than-life entertainer who starred in, wrote, and produced her own radio and television show depicting Jewish life in America in the midtwentieth century. Hayes and McDonough developed Ordinary Americans in The Dramaworkshop, Dramaworks’ incubator for new works, and it received a reading in January as part of the theater’s New Year/ New Plays Festival.

Ordinary Americans is set in the early 1950s and tackles the issues Berg and her co-star, Philip Loeb, faced as they attempted to save their show and friendship amid antiSemitism and accusations of un-American activity. At the height of McCarthyism, Loeb was blacklisted. Berg—who was not only a groundbreaking figure in the industry but also a visible example of Jewish motherhood at a time when few existed—then had to decide whether to yield to network and sponsor pressure to replace Loeb or lose her show.

LISA MARI MAZZUCCO

CHARLIE SCHUCK

PBI: Who were the women in your life or within classical music you looked to for inspiration?

Kendall: My grandmother.

Aside from sharing a birthday, I feel like she understood me long before I understood myself. She was an advocate for me and made me feel heard.

She was also a naturalist, a beekeeper, a homemaker, an author, and a violist, but above all, she was my inspiration. There’s nothing quite like having someone who simply believes in you.

Is there a female composer you gravitate toward? What do you like most about her music?

Gabriela Lena Frank. She’s got such a distinctive voice, but most of all, she’s authentic to herself, to her ideas and ideals, and to her background and honoring her heritage. Also, I know her! She’s the Philadelphia Orchestra’s composer in residence, and it’s a pleasure to work with her, delve into process, and bring her works to life in her presence.

What do you find most enjoyable about performing Beethoven’s music?

Beethoven speaks through his music. It is so full of life, and it is just so well written. My favorites to play are his string quartets because the interaction between the four voices is so clear, pristine, fun, and full of character and emotion. It’s sheer pleasure to play and quite humbling at the same time.

During your concert with The Symphonia, you’ll also be performing music by Ellen Taaffe Zwilich. What makes her music a good complement to Beethoven’s?

As I’m practicing her concerto, it’s as if she understands how important it is for me to feel connected to the music itself, connecting texture and sound for the musician; it feels so satisfying to play. I think in this way, she relates with Beethoven’s writing, who seemed to know what “sits well” on a given instrument—like going to your favorite clothing store and knowing its clothes will fit you just right.

PALM BEACH OPERA’S COASTAL CLICK PHOTOGRAPHY

NUNSENSE at The Wick

NEW GENERAL DIRECTOR

There’s been a changing of the guard at Palm Beach Opera.

In October, David Walker became general director, succeeding Daniel Biaggi, who served in that role for 10 years. Walker has been with PBO since 2015, first as director of institutional advancement and then as managing director. In his new capacity as general director, the former professional opera singer will merge his passion for the art form and his business skills, with the goal of continuing to strengthen the organization’s financial stability, grow its audience, and produce better and better shows every year.

“I think a lot of people don’t understand that even though it’s a nonprofit performing arts organization, you have to run it like a business,” says Walker, who holds three master’s degrees, in vocal performance, arts administration, and business administration. “You cannot produce the art unless your financial house is in great order. And then, when it is, you can actually continue, slowly, to do even more and fantastic art.”

A lifelong classical music fan, Walker didn’t start singing opera until he was in his early 20s.

He grew up playing the piano, trumpet, and French horn, and performing in school choirs, but found his heart’s calling in opera. “I really wanted to pursue it because I quickly realized that opera

074_CULTURALPREV_1119.indd 83

is the one classical performing art that contains everything—singing, acting, music, orchestra, costumes, sets, lights—and it tells such an incredible story,” he explains. “I was immediately hooked, and I have not looked back.”

Following an 18-year international singing career, during which he experienced such highs as singing the lead male part in Rodelinda opposite Renée Fleming, he decided to switch gears and pursue arts administration. Before landing at PBO, he worked for such institutions as Sarasota Opera, North Carolina Opera, Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Glimmerglass Festival.

One of his proudest achievements at PBO has been the establishment of the Co-Producer Society, which allows donors to give money toward a specific show. “They enjoy the fact that they can see the results of how they’re supporting and how it’s affecting the audience and the community.”

One element of the job Walker is most looking forward to is augmenting audiences. Part of this is achieved through smart programming. From December 6-8, PBO will stage Hansel and Gretel at the Crest Theatre at Delray Beach’s Old School Square, its first production at the venue.

By bringing a PBO show farther south, Walker hopes to encourage attendance from that region. The full-length opera is also kid-friendly, performed in English, and stars members of PBO’s Benenson Young Artist and Bailey Apprentice Artist programs in the lead roles. In 2020, PBO’s season at the Kravis Center con-

If you prefer your Catholicism with a chalice-ful of humor, then The Wick Theatre in Boca Raton has the musical for you. Nunsense follows the Little Sisters of Hoboken on their quest to stage a variety show in the hopes of raising money to bury 52 of their colleagues after the convent’s cook, Sister Julia, accidentally poisons them.

tinues with Turandot (January 24-26), Il Barbiere di Siviglia (February 28 to March 1), and Eugene Onegin (March 27-29).

Above all, Walker stresses the importance of making people—whether they be donors or general audience members—feel like Palm Beach Opera belongs to them. “The overwhelming response we get is, ‘I’m engaged. I feel like I’m a part of the opera family.’ And that’s something that really resonates with us.” (pbopera.org) PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2019

“ANIME ARCHITECTURE”

at the Morikami

What goes into creating a fantastical city? When it comes to developing futuristic metropolises for anime films, animators and artists must strike the ultimate balance between form and function, prioritizing how their characters will live in this new world and relate to others within it, while also keeping an eye toward aesthetics in order to wow their audiences.

The traveling exhibition “Anime Architecture” spotlights the process that goes into creating these practical dreamscapes by showcasing the evolution of backdrops, from location photographs to concept sketches and full-color animation cells. The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach is the only institution in the United States to receive this show, which will be on display from November 9 to April 3.

“Anime Architecture” boasts more than 100 technical drawings and watercolor illustrations from such noteworthy anime films as Ghost in the Shell and Metropolis. While each of these frames might have constituted a mere second of screen time, they alone stand as meticulous works of art.

Made using hand-drawn and -painted techniques, they represent an era in animation that is quickly becoming a thing of the past as more animators turn to digital modes of conception and completion.

Beyond the physical artistry, these works also function as forecasts for the cities of tomorrow. Much like the 1982 blockbuster Blade Runner envisioned a dystopian version of Los Angeles, these animated films merge science-fiction flourishes with tenets of urban development to arrive at cities that feel not only feasible, but almost inevitable. (morikami.org)

MUCH LIKE THE COUNTRY ITSELF, THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN ART IS A PATCHWORK OF INFLUENCES, CULTURES, THEMES, AND PERSPECTIVES. IT CAN BE TRACED BACK TO INDIGENOUS TRIBES, WHOSE ARTISTIC TRADITIONS COVERED DECORATIVE, UTILITARIAN, AND RITUALISTIC PURPOSES, AND ONLY CONTINUED TO MORPH WITH THE INFLUX OF EUROPEAN STYLES AND MATERIALS. AS THE COUNTRY GREW IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, SO DID THE CONCEPT OF “AMERICAN ART,” WITH EARLY LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS SUPPORTING THE PHILOSOPHY OF MANIFEST DESTINY, AND THE BIRTH OF PHOTOGRAPHY FOREVER CHANGING THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT OUR SETTING AND OURSELVES. THESE MEDIUMS GAINED STEAM AS THE U.S. TURNED THE CORNER TOWARD THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, WHEN ARTISTS BEGAN PLAYING WITH VARIOUS TECHNIQUES TO CAPTURE MOMENTS IN TIME AND ALSO EXPRESS THEIR POINTS OF VIEW.

ment with a much broader repertoire, musically, if I could conduct.”

And conduct he did, leaving behind the trumpet for a baton. Although he learned by watching and doing, in the same way an apprentice would, he believes budding conductors should study the skill that he himself now teaches.

“I’m able to articulate the ideas I have technically to help young conductors, hopefully, become involved in conducting on a higher level than I was.”

Schwarz will flex his conducting muscle at a number of Palm Beach Symphony’s Masterworks concerts this season, including the aforementioned “Canopy of Stars,” as well as “Breaking Ground,” January 13 at The Society of the Four Arts, and “Earth Tones,” March 19 at the Rosarian Academy. Guest conductors José Luis-Novo and David Zinman will join the symphony for “Heavenly Mischief,” February 7 at the Benjamin Hall, and “Climbing Tomorrow,” April 19 at the Kravis Center, respectively.

Beyond the symphony’s Masterworks, Schwarz is excited for its three-part chamber music series at the Norton Museum of Art because each edition will boast an element beyond the concert. On January 22, “I Am Not a Rock Star” will feature INDIEHOUSE FILMS

When the Palm Beach Symphony opens its 2019-2020 Masterworks concert series at the Kravis Center December 8, there’ll be a new— albeit familiar—face at the conductor’s podium.

Gerard Schwarz has joined the symphony as music director. The appointment is happy news for Schwarz, who has long visited Palm Beach for various musical engagements and adores the area. The seasoned music director spent 26 years at the helm of the Seattle Symphony but began his career as a trumpeter, having fallen in love with the instrument at age 7 when he attended a performance of the opera Aida.

“I was attracted to the trumpet because, in Aida, it’s the triumphal music, and it has a beautiful, heroic quality,” he recalls. “I was never interested in conducting; I was only interested in playing the trumpet.”

Schwarz grew up in the U.S., but his parents hailed from Vienna and instilled in him a love of the arts. When he was named co-principal trumpet at the New York Philharmonic in 1972, he felt he’d reached the apotheosis of his childhood dreams.

It was only then that he began searching for new challenges, believing that, “I might be able to make a contribution on a bigger stage as a conductor,” he says. “I thought I could have a deeper involve-

guest pianist Marika Bournaki and be preceded by a screening of a 2012 documentary on the famed Canadian musician. In “The Soldier’s Tale,” February 19, Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat will be accompanied by an animation by R.O. Blechman. Finally, on March 25, composer Richard Danielpour will take part in a discussion on the creative process behind his String Quartet No. 6.

These concerts, in conjunction with the symphony’s community and educational programs, are Schwarz’s top priorities. “The main goal, obviously, is to do great concerts,” he says. “As we expand and do more in terms of commissioning, community outreach, education, and concert series, hopefully I’ll be able to grow the audience and the artistic level of the orchestra, which is already high. But we’re artists. You can’t be stagnant. You have to always continue to grow. Hopefully, we will do that together.” (palmbeachsymphony.org)

REMBRANDT at the Four Arts Time flies when you’re dead. Just ask the late, great Dutch artist Rembrandt, who died 350 years ago at the age of 63. The Society of the Four Arts is marking his death-anniversary with “Rembrandt: The Sign and the Light,” a special exhibition of the master’s prints, on display at the Esther B. O’Keeffe Gallery from December 7 to February 2. In addition to docent tours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, the Four Arts will also host Art InSight lectures on Rembrandt’s life, including “Stealing Rembrandt” on January 2 and “From Novice to Art Market Innovator: Rembrandt’s Extraordinary Career as a Printmaker” on January 8.

wo hours before guests arrive for Thanksgiving dinner at Penny and Alan Murphy’s house, the kitchen counter is crowded with traditional dishes in various stages of preparation, a bouquet of spices and roasting root vegetables perfumes the air, and the hostess tends to the table, layering Royal Worcester “Vine Harvest” china with oversized linen napkins.

She stands back and admires the composition. “These napkins date to the 1920s,” she says with a touch of nostalgia. “They’re embroidered with my grandmother’s initials. The china, that was my mother’s. She got it on a trip with my dad.”

Incorporating family history into the dinner table is a privilege and a pleasure for Penny, whose grandparents founded Pioneer Hardware and Furniture Company in Lake Worth. Her father, George Greenberg, evolved the business into Pioneer Linens, the venerable linen purveyor on Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach that the Murphy family still owns and operates.

For Penny, setting a table with beautiful linens is a given. For this Thanksgiving celebration, she has chosen the monogrammed linen tablecloth that matches the napkins, along with a second, red-and-gold-plaid napkin to add a pop of color. The latter, sourced at Pioneer, is a modern addition to counterbalance all the heritage pieces. In the spirit of mixing old and new, Penny has finished her table with flowers, in fall harvest colors; a tooled silver water pitcher and sterling flatware passed

down from her grandmother; and little chocolate turkeys wrapped in colorful foil. There’s a story to that, she says.

“When I was growing up, we’d go to my grandmother’s for a formal dinner,” she recalls. “For dessert, she always had these little ice cream treats in the shape of a turkey, which she bought from the local Alfar Creamery on Flamingo Drive.” Since that dairy is no more, Penny has continued the tradition with the turkey confections, sourced from Hoffman’s Chocolates.

Penny’s table-setting strategy usually begins with the plates. “I’m lucky because in my family I was the only girl, so I ended up with all the china from both grandmothers and my mother,” she says as she walks over to a wall of cabinets and opens doors to reveal a multitude of patterns. “I have everything from traditional blue-and-white to

pottery. I don’t even know how many sets of china I have. It’s kind of obscene.”

Once the china has been decided, Penny often works with her daughters, Camille Kubicek and Marissa Adriaanse, to assemble the mise-en-scène. Camille and Marissa also

contribute to the meal. “Marissa always makes the cornbread,” Camille says. “I bring the potatoes au gratin every year. It’s tradition— though that’s evolving, just like our family.”

Last year at the Thanksgiving table, each member of the family said what they were

grateful for. The Murphys’ son, Alan Jr., and his wife, Amy, announced—to everyone’s joyful surprise—they were expecting their first child. This year, Alan Murphy III, nicknamed Trey, joins his parents for his first Thanksgiving, alongside Elsie Virginia Kubicek, the 9-month-old daughter of Camille and her husband, Jesse.

In September, the Murphys also got a new son-in-law as Marissa and Lodewicus Adriaanse were married at the family home. Event guru and longtime family friend Bruce Sutka officiated the ceremony.

As her children and grandchildren arrive, Penny is in seventh heaven. The conversation bounces around a variety of topics, from

“I like having the children at the table and teaching them good manners,” Penny says.

“When my kids were little, I used to tell them I would pay them a quarter when they’d shake hands, look someone in the eye, and say, ‘Nice to meet you.’”

“You used to pay us to be nice?” Camille chimes in.

Penny feigns defensiveness. “Hey, manners were important to me.”

The newlyweds show up last. Marissa holds a cast iron skillet with the traditional cornbread.

The recipe goes back four generations and is, as she tells it, “the best cornbread I’ve ever had.”

Penny finishes up her masterpiece, a spiced sweet potato casserole. “My mom started the tradition of making these sweet potatoes with orange and a little rum. It’s something we have every year.”

Though she cherishes such rituals, she’s also implemented a few of her own. For example, she doesn’t host her celebration on Thanksgiving Day due to the demands of the retail business.

“About 10 years ago, we began celebrating the Sunday before Thanksgiving because we were so busy with Black Friday and Small Business Saturday,” she says. “I come home the Friday night before and set my table, on Saturday I cook all day, and on Sunday we

have Thanksgiving in the middle of the afternoon. It’s the working girl’s Thanksgiving.”

She also didn’t enjoy the turkey-cooking part of the festivities. “I decided to eliminate all the things I didn’t like about Thanksgiving,” she adds. “SandyJames [Fine Foods & Productions] does the turkey. The best part is, I can get up late on Thursday morning and I have all these leftovers. I feel like I’ve mastered it.”

As everyone takes their seat at the table, Penny seems pleased with one more perfect Thanksgiving in the books. She confides in a guest: “This year, I’m going to say I’m thankful that all my children are living here. Most people don’t have that. I’m so blessed they’re all here and we can be together.” «

TASTE RESTAURANTS

Chef Suzanne Perrotto, owner of Brulé Bistro, remembers the coarse grain of semolina flour on her fingertips and the peaceful feeling that hung in the air as she rolled out pasta next to her mother, Linda Rose, in the kitchen of her circa-1976 Hudson Valley trattoria. “I’ve had a lot of great mentors, but the most important one was my mother,” she says.

With the opening of her second restaurant, Rose’s Daughter, Perrotto pays homage to the woman who inspired her love for food and chases that meditative state of simplicity. Vintage family photos and mementos adorn the walls of the Delray Beach eatery located at the former site of Max’s Harvest. The rustic back patio recalls the homegrown tenderness of your Italian granny’s garden—if you were lucky enough to have one.

Many of the dishes that grace the menu, such as the perfectly al dente pasta or the spinach dumplings— divine little mounds of fresh-made buttermilk ricotta and potato—are handme-down recipes that have remained untouched for more than 40 years. But the Acunto pizza oven is all Perrotto, with a little help from another mentor, Neapolitan pizza legend Roberto Caporuscio. One bite of the cloud-like nuvola caputo dough, and you too will revere the time-honored techniques Perrotto so faithfully executes. (roses daughterdelray.com) —Liz Petoniak

Paint the Town VEGAN

Philip Nicozisis, aka The Traveling Vegan, shares his FAVORITE dishes at local hot spots When I first became vegan almost 10 years ago, I would announce my plantbased lifestyle in a restaurant, and people would look at me like I had three heads. At least a few times I informed them, “I’m not crazy, I’m just here from the future.” While everyone else ordered entrees off the menu, there I was, the black sheep trying to cobble together an order for a suitable, albeit boring, salad along with some vegetable sides—hold the butter please! Today, thankfully, we are light-years ahead: Restaurants have caught on, and even non-vegan establishments offer plentiful options. Here are a few of my go-tos. —Philip Nicozisis HMF Going to the iconic cocktail bar at The Breakers is more like an event than simply eating out. The best part: They have a large vegan menu. When I plan to indulge, I fire off an order of the cheese-less vegetable pizza. The egg-free crust is just right, slightly chewy and crispy. The succulent and zesty tomato sauce and toppings—like tomatoes, asparagus, onions, and greens—fight for my appreciation. You won’t miss the cheese one bit. More shareable plates, such as the steamed veggie dumplings (I always seem to order a second round of these), shishito peppers, and raw spring rolls wrapped in rice paper and coupled with a dipping sauce, hit the table soon after. Paired with the food, HMF’s atmosphere and service, not to mention the people watching, are hard to match. Palm Beach (thebreakers.com)

LEILA RESTAURANT Arabic food is inherently plant-based. After all, meat, dairy products, and eggs have been an out-of-reach luxury for much of human history.

The owner of this ethnic eatery, Akram Alex Awad, serves authentic and fresh delicacies like hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, bean salad, and a savory walnut paté called muhammara.

When I’m in the mood, I’ll bring my backgammon board and order a fruit-flavored hookah to smoke. People are often surprised that as a vegan I enjoy smoking hookah once in a while—and that I also drink wine. I have to remind them that I’m a vegan and not a saint!

INCH & OUNCES This casual-dining newcomer in downtown West Palm Beach specializes in pho and Vietnamese street food. The 40-ounce vegan pho features more rice-based noodles (read: no egg) than you know what to do with, a vegetable broth with just a hint of spice, and chopped veggies topped with mung bean sprouts and herbs. As a spice addict, I don’t play around—we’re talking level 12 out of 10. So, my favorite part of Inch & Ounces are the sauces that sit on each table. Halfway through eating, spicy sweat starts to stream down the side of my face. It’s a perfect daytime gastro getaway. West Palm Beach (561-855-7028)

COCKTAIL CULTURE

Backyard BASH When Olivier and Edouard Delrieu go to work, they feel like they’re coming home.

That’s because the brothers operate Pétanque, the Northwood gastropub named for the Provençal version of bocce ball they played as kids.

“We wanted to establish a local hangout rather than a destination for tourists,” says Olivier. “Our philosophy is ‘the more you give, the more you get,’ so we offer quality food, drinks, and entertainment in a friendly setting.”

Locals crowd the outdoor covered bar to enjoy Edouard’s cocktails, named simply after the ingredients they contain. Apple Cognac & Cinnamon, for example, combines cognac and cinnamon with the apple confit syrup made for one of their desserts. Purple Rain, a twist on a

whiskey sour, pairs spiced ginger whiskey with fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and violet water made from a reduction of butterfly pea flower tea. The drink is sprayed with absinthe before serving. “It’s pleasing to the eye,” says Olivier, “but then the taste delivers something you don’t expect from the appearance.”

These original libations complement the rustic menu, which features shareable platters of charcuterie, cheeses, and seafood. The most popular item is the banh mi burger, served on a French baguette with seared pork rillettes, sriracha, and pickled vegetables. A special latenight menu is available until 2 a.m. on weekends, to feed locals wrapping up an evening on the town. (petanquepb.com) —Mark Spivak

TASTE Q&A

ALL-STAR Team

PBI: Why did you decide to leave Addison Reserve and re-enter the world of public hospitality?

Bell: The club experience was great; it’s a personal level of service that you don’t get in a restaurant. You’re cooking for the same people every day, so they become friends and family. For the same reason, the club world can also become a little constricting. I missed the excitement, energy, and buzz of working in a restaurant.

Describe your relationship with Clay Conley.

We’ve been friends since he came to Palm Beach in 2011. We connected because we’re both low-key personalities, and I was impressed by what he was doing. He’s created a great atmosphere and consistently puts out the food that he loves. We stayed in touch while I was at the club, and he kept asking when I’d be ready to come back to the restaurant world. He’s

Mezcal-based cocktails at Mayahuel

VIVA MEZCAL

This south-of-the-border liquor is making waves in the American spirits market

J

By Mark Spivak

ust when you thought you’d mastered tequila, along comes mezcal. If you’re confused about the difference between the two spirits, it’s understandable. Despite our familiarity with tequila, mezcal is the broader category—all tequilas are mezcals, but not all mezcals are tequilas.

They’re both produced from the heart of the agave plant (blue agave only for tequila, 30 varieties for mezcal) but made in different regions of Mexico, with some geographical overlap. The production methods also differ. Tequila generally starts by steaming agave inside large ovens, while mezcal is baked in earthen pits that are filled with wood and charcoal, lending mezcal its distinctive smoky flavor. And in an age when tequila is increasingly mass-produced, mezcal is distilled in small batches in either copper pot stills or clay pots.

Joven (or “young”) mezcal is bottled after less than two months of aging, as is Blanco or Silver tequila. The rest of the barrel-aged categories are similar as well: Reposado (at least two months but less than a year), Añejo (one to three years), and Extra Añejo (three years and up).

Fueled by the perception of mezcal as an artisan spirit, U.S. demand has increased dramatically. According to the Distilled Spirits Council, sales went from 50,000 cases in 2009 to nearly 360,000 in 2017, with an upward trend of 15 to 20 percent anticipated in the next five years.

Those sales increases led spirits giant Pernod Ricard to buy a major stake in Del Maguey, the most familiar mezcal brand in America.

“Like wine, terroir is very important with mezcal,” says Peter Van Es, managing director of Mezcal Hub. “The agave plants take on the character of the place where they’re grown.”

112_POUR2_1119.indd 112

10/3/19 8:47 AM

Van Es became an aficionado during his 20-year stint in Mexico and decided to import Gente de Mezcal into the U.S. He’s currently introducing three Joven brands into the Florida market, and he prefers the unaged spirit to the barrel-aged version.

“Good mezcal isn’t smoky, and cask aging increases that flavor,” he notes.

Why does Van Es think it has suddenly become popular here? “It’s an honest, straightforward, and authentic spirit,” he says. “People are looking for something different, and they’re willing to spend money on a quality product. And it won’t give you a hangover—I speak from experience on that.”

Whereas mezcal is generally consumed straight in Mexico, Americans tend to prefer it as a component in craft cocktails. It’s now highly unusual to read the cocktail list of a trendy restaurant or bar and not find at least one mezcal libation. While it has a reputation for being difficult to mix, it can also add a spicy note to an otherwise bland drink.

At the groundbreaking Mayahuel in Sacramento, you can belly up to the taco bar and mezcaleria (the first of its kind in the U.S., aimed at re-

producing “pre-Hispanic culture”). Offerings include traditional Oaxacan cocktails such as Pepino Enchilado (muddled cucumbers, mezcal, jalapeño, lime, agave nectar, and infused chili) or Mayan Orchid (agave nectar and house-made hibiscus syrup with a combination of tequila and mezcal). On the East Coast, at Leyenda in Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill neighborhood, award-winning bartender Ivy Mix is shaking up the Tia Mia (an anagram of Mai Tai, composed of espadin mezcal, Jamaican rum, and orange Curaçao).

Those who do find themselves at the bottom of a mezcal bottle and spot the infamous worm should be wary. Van Es says it’s a marketing gimmick: “If you see the worm, run.” «

HOME

By Liza Grant Smith

DESIGN

The owners of this Juno Beach home were eager to embrace a seaside aesthetic inspired by the beach, water, and sunrises that make their property so special. “Our task was to reflect all these natural elements in the space to convey a sense of peace and comfort,” says Stacy Szuhy, principal interior designer at Blue Ladder Studio.

With the goal of creating a modern, beach-chic vibe with an open, relaxed feel, Szuhy utilized plank tile flooring in sandy tones, a mix of woven fabrics and luscious leathers, and subtle oceanic nods in both the color choice and accessories. The Elitis sea grass wallcovering in the breakfast area introduces a sea foam hue that continues on the kitchen island and runs as a vein through the white and gray marble topper.

“My client says this marble coloring reminds her of the spectacular sunrise skies on her way to yoga,” notes Szuhy. Come evening, the Arteriors pendants over the kitchen island reflect a pattern on the ceiling that’s reminiscent of moonlight dancing on water. (blueladderstudio.com)

DINNER PARTY 101

Decor and etiquette experts share insight into executing a flawless tablescape and seating chart

MARY MAHONEY

THE SEATING CHART

THE TABLE The expert: Mary Mahoney of Mary Mahoney luxury home and entertaining boutique, Palm Beach (marymahoney.com) PBI: What was your motivation for this display?

Mahoney: At Mary Mahoney we have so many choices, it’s like a candy store of tabletop.

With this setting, I wanted to be festive with Champagne, caviar, desserts, and gifts for the holidays, so when you sit down, you are drawn into the holiday spirit and know it will be a wonderful evening.

What vibe do you think this table achieves?

By combining items like the Art Deco dinnerware (one of my favorite patterns) with red crystal votives and unexpected elements like the Champagne bowls and decorative fresh fruit, this table is formal yet playful. It offers lively

visual intrigue that creates a spirited mood for the gathering.

Why does it work well for Palm Beach?

Palm Beach has always been about elegance, but today’s society is willing to embrace a more updated, dynamic elegance with glitz and glam, mix and match, and plenty of surprises in terms of details and color palette.

What do you believe are the essential keys to creating a memorable tablescape?

There are no rules when it comes to setting a table. The theme of your event, as well as the guests who are attending, may serve as inspiration, but ultimately just have fun with it. Mix the pieces you love to create unique combinations, and be sure to incorporate unexpected elements and fresh flowers.

The expert: Author and etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore, Palm Beach (etiquetteexpert.com) PBI: What dictates whether or not your dinner party should have assigned seating?

Whitmore: It’s up to the host to decide whether to use place cards or not. The general rule is to put out place cards for groups of six or more, although this is not mandatory. If you’d like to use them for a smaller group, that is entirely up to you.

What factors should one consider in determining where to seat people?

I advise separating couples because they have heard each other’s stories before. To keep the conversation flowing, I recommend that you put the most talkative person next to a shy person. Mix up men and women. Seat your most important female guest of honor on the righthand side of the host and the male guest of honor on the right-hand side of the hostess.

Put acquaintances together when you can.

But, keep in mind, I like to separate best friends and people who have known each other for years. If you have guests who don’t know anyone, seat them with others who share similar interests—a filmmaker next to an author, for example.

Resist the urge to create a singles’ table. This may make others feel excluded. It’s acceptable to put children and teens at their own table, unless they want to be seated with their parents.

Any other tips?

Guests should never alter seating arrangements or switch assigned seats. Encourage your guests to mingle at different tables between courses and after dinner. And, no matter how perfect your final seating plan seems, you’ll undoubtedly receive a last-minute request from someone asking to be seated somewhere else.

Try to be accommodating, but don’t concede if you think this change will disrupt the entire plan.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY For her client’s winter home, designer Lisa Michael of Lisa Michael Interiors created a restful retreat reminiscent of an exclusive boutique hotel. “The abaca rope–wrapped canopy bed was the starting point for the design,” says Michael.

“From there, I curated the John Robshaw bedding for a bohemian, layered feel, which brought in the golds and silvers, adding a fun play on mixed metallic and an air of eclecticism.

The aged-gold, diamond, geometric mirrors were hung in a trio layout above each inlaid-shell night table, which added interest and reflection and gave the space a light and airy vibe. The mercury-glass table lamps and carved Moroccan medallion balance the space while further enhancing the play on metallics.” Delray Beach (lisamichaelinteriors.com)

When your real estate agent won’t invite you to meet their marketing team, there likely isn’t one. When you visit Waterfront Properties corporate office it will be obvious that Waterfront is as much a marketing firm with expert knowledge and a budget to focus on a sale of your property as it is a real estate brokerage.

The Waterfront Advantage The last word that could ever be used to describe Waterfront Properties is ordinary. At Waterfront’s marketing headquarters, a diligent and enthusiastic staff works hand-in-hand with real estate agents. Together, they collaborate to expertly market their sellers’ properties and reach buyers all over the world. Don’t assume this is the norm in every real estate office.

David Abernathy, Business Manager at Waterfront, says “my colleagues at other brokerages are envious of Waterfront’s 20+ person marketing team because we don’t need to outsource key marketing projects.” The company’s dedicated marketing budget provides the marketing team with the most up-to-date marketing technology, equipment and strategies.

How? Here is a glimpse behind the scenes…

Print Production Team Waterfront’s team of production specialists and graphic designers collaborate to create high quality marketing materials such as brochures, postcards, local publications and special mail pieces.

Their massive, industrial-sized printer allows the team to create all materials in-house and in a timely fashion.

Behind the scenes, the marketing team assists Waterfront agents to solely focus on quickly connecting sellers and buyers.

Photo Expertise/Graphic Design Team In the digital arena, Waterfront’s in-house photographers, graphic designers and photo editors are highly trained and work with agents to understand home features that buyers are looking for.

Then the team is able to highlight the best features of sellers’ properties in all marketing materials. Using specific, proven strategies, they’re able to captivate buyers’ interest with photos and designs that make an impact.

Internet/SEO/Social Media Team

Owners/Brokers from many other areas have come to Waterfront to learn from Rob Thomson, Waterfront’s managing partner, about how the marketing team is able to free up agents’ time to focus entirely on finding buyers for their sellers’ properties.

When deciding to sell or buy property, Waterfront invites you to visit their marketing headquarters to meet with Thomson and the marketing team. They promise it will be anything but ordinary.

In today’s world of digital giants like Amazon and Facebook, Waterfront knows the importance of web dominance. With a dedicated team focusing on the Internet and digital marketing, Waterfront’s websites consistently appear at the top of Google.

Their sellers’ properties are promoted on thousands of local, national and international real estate websites and social media channels, creating maximum online exposure for homes to the right audiences all over the world.

Email Marketing Team Through use of email marketing, Waterfront is able to communicate directly with thousands of potential buyers looking for properties similar to your home’s location and price range.

Waterfront’s agents often know about properties before they are on the market which allows buyers to hear about them before they appear in MLS.

Danmark Development helps a 93-year-old “cottage” retain its authentic charm

BY MARINA BROWN PHOTOGRAPHY BY RON ROSENZWEIG One man’s beach cottage may not be that of another. In the case of this period jewel secluded on four verdant lots hugging the edge of Bon Air beach on the north end of Jupiter Island in Hobe Sound, any suggestion of sand-strewn floors or shabby-chic interiors is out of the question. Instead, the owners and Dan Morrow of Danmark Development orchestrated a dramatic renovation that would make the original famed architect of the 1926 “cottage” proud.

Designed by Maurice Fatio at a time when South Florida was enchanted with all things Neo-Mediterranean, the arched cypress doors and their extravagant carved stone surrounds, the hidden courtyards, and the clay-tile roof all remained elegant. Dan Morrow’s group was commissioned to address major structural problems that over the years had left only the external charm of the 2,000-square-foot home intact. Inside, time, additions, and poorly done renovations had left their marks. Danmark, charged with bringing the home to modern standards while respecting the integrity and period beauty of Fatio’s original design, brought in architect Denis Rainho of YRA Design to complement the architecture.

“The fireplace in the living room had actually been walled up and a

plywood painting of a glowing fire was nailed across the front,” Morrow says. In fact, the original sweeping shoulders of the chimney had been boxed off and there was no flue. Today, an Italianate nod to the past is seen in the restored and functional architecture. “Where we could, we also wanted to maintain the original feel of the plaster, the rough impasto finish of Venetian villas,” Morrow says. In the music room off of the living room, that finish is interrupted by double sets of French doors opening to one of four separate courtyards, each walled and private.

Yet it is in the nuances that the period statement is made. Maintaining the original cypress planking, YRA Design preserved the original pale color of the wood, matching it to that of the Italian-arched doors. Floors in wide-plank hickory add a rich glow.

Though the dining room’s wainscoting is new, it offers a period look

beneath the elegant pendant lanterns. Softly neutral wall coloring provides the perfect backdrop to the architectural details. “Everywhere possible, the owners wanted to keep what was original,” Morrow says.

“They are true preservationists and very much respect the history of a structure and what goes in it.”

The kitchen, once a garage, received a new vaulted ceiling and elegant double bay windows that look out into a Brazilian courtyard and the pool. A deep farmer’s sink and glistening soapstone counters add sparkle to the space. The vintage pendant lamps have followed the homeowners from one residence to another over many years.

One of four bedrooms, the master suite is an interlude in soft grays.

Yet creating such tranquility necessitated Danmark building a “room” beside the bed. “I noticed the original design allowed for a direct line of

vision into the bedroom,� Morrow says. YRA Design revised the existing closet to allow for a larger wall in the dining room and fix the direct views from the gallery into the master suite. The adjoining bath was also expanded. Here, the nod to original fixtures and design was scrapped in favor of clean lines, maximum storage, and plenty of light.

Another important feature is the landscaping and division of activity spaces with plantings that played a vital part in the architectural planning.

Small courtyards and butterfly gardens surround the cottage, complete with a spacious screened lanai that serves as a focal point for entertaining.

Added in the 1970s, it nevertheless incorporated

a tongue-and-groove ceiling and an elegant herringbone–patterned brick floor. A relaxing spa and pool area provide the perfect backdrop for family and friends dining alfresco.

Danmark replaced the original clay tile roof with modern, handmade clay tiles, but the villa-like atmosphere remains. And as with all villas, a sense of mystery prevails behind the garden walls. The main front entrance is only accessed via a pathway and an arching gate, then through a latticed iron opening and finally the front door. But no mystery remains beside the 40-foot-long pool where even its hand-painted tiles were restored. A beach cottage it may be called, or perhaps a charmingly intimate villa. For the owners, it is definitely home. (danmarkdevelopment.com)

MINDFULNESS

Small WONDERS Far more than just a zen-chic desk accessory, bonsai trees are a stress-relieving art form with the potential to boost mental health by encouraging concentration and creativity. And, as a type of gardening replete with opportunities for mindfulness, tending to bonsai may be effective at helping with depression and anxiety through increased emotional regulation and decreased neural activity in the area of the brain that controls rumination, the phenomenon of getting stuck thinking the same negative thoughts over and over again. A 2017 study by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health even showed that the visual stimulation of merely looking at a bonsai tree is associated with an increase in positive emotions and parasympathetic nervous activity resulting in a calm, relaxed feeling.

BREWING up Fitness Making a beer run has taken on a whole new meaning in South Florida.

While visiting a friend in Austin, Texas, Florida native Kacy Irby participated in a Run for Beer event hosted by the Brewery Running Series and had a blast.

The 5K-ish fun run started and ended at a local brewery and combined three of Irby’s interests—fitness, drinking beer, and supporting the community (with a portion of proceeds donated to charities). Irby reached out to the BRS founders and asked how he could get similar runs brewing in the Sunshine State. Under Irby’s management, Florida became one of the now 12

states to offer Brewery Running Series events.

The concept was an instant hit, with 215 participants showing up for the first event at LauderAle Brewery in January. The subsequent runs were equally successful, with numerous participants (including one rescue dog named Jynx) making it to every event during the first season.

Ten breweries in South Florida (including Barrel of Monks Brewing in Boca Raton) are slated for the second season of the Brewery Running Series, which kicked off in October and continues through May. (breweryrunningseries.com)

STEP 2: Stick to a scheduled maintenance plan “If you want to maintain a style or length, visit your salon every four to six weeks as hair grows an average of half an inch per month. If you are growing your hair, don’t wait longer than 12 weeks, as your hair may split faster than it grows from the follicle.”

STEP 3: Give damaged hair a little TLC “Clarify at least once per month to remove buildup—more if you swim in chlorine often or have well water. I recommend Oribe’s The Cleanse (oribe.com). Kérastase’s Fusio-Dose treatments only take five minutes and will address color fading, add moisture, density, shine, or help de-frizz. You can address two issues in one treatment, and it will last six weeks. The Kérastase Soleil line is fantastic for those who have prolonged sun exposure.”

STEP 5: Avoid the biggest hair-care omissions people make Not using quality products that have better ingredients and aren’t watered down with alcohol and low-quality cleansers.

“It’s worth spending more on quality because you will replace it less often and it will be more likely to achieve the same [salon] results at home. Low-quality cleansers will ruin your color.”

Not using thermal protection before blow-drying and/or using hot tools.

Oribe’s Serene Scalp Soothing Leave-On Treatment is fantastic for processed hair.

It is lightweight and absorbs well into the scalp, removing flakes, while mint and chamomile calm and soothe. It is also keratin and color safe. Tea tree oil is also great to balance healthy pH levels. It is antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, will battle dandruff, and fight off lice. Apple cider vinegar has many of the same benefits as well as being acetic acid, which will help lower pH and bring hair health into balance. Dull, brittle, frizzy hair tends to be more alkaline.”

Not using conditioner because you are afraid it will weigh your hair down.

“We’ve come a long way with hair product technology. Hyaluronic acid can hold 1,000 times its weight in water. Oribe Power Drops Damage Repair Booster is a potent mix of hyaluronic acid, fatty acid, biotin, and vitamins, while Oribe Conditioner for Magnificent Volume is body building and comes in a gel cream.

WEALTH

To Have and Withhold

How to prepare your kids for a PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT

By Judy Martel The road to wedded bliss is paved with countless negotiations and compromises. But future spouses who come from a wealthy family have the additional responsibility of ensuring the family’s assets are protected after the marriage, an objective usually accomplished with a prenuptial agreement.

Switching the conversation from honeymoon destinations and flower arrangements to the division of financial assets in the event of a divorce probably ranks up there with informing your significant other that you hate children. Yet with preparation and familial support, the process surrounding prenuptial agreements doesn’t have to be awkward, notes Dennis Jaffe, PhD, a family business advisor and associate at Wise Counsel Research in Massachusetts. In fact, such agreements are fairly common. “The prenuptial agreement is basically a way to

protect the family’s collective assets from individual disasters,” he says. “Every family that has [shared] wealth that they want to protect should consider one.”

Prenuptial agreements—sometimes called premarital agreements— are legal contracts that spell out ownership of assets and how they will be divided in the event a couple calls it quits. Both parties work with their own attorneys, and there should never be pressure to sign quickly without time for a thorough review. Specifics of the contracts vary by state and are written to suit the individual needs of the couple, Jaffe says.

Wealthy families typically want their children to have a contract in place before they marry to avoid the risk of a former spouse claiming a part of a family business or other assets that belong to the family as a whole.

The problem, Jaffe notes, is that most families start the discussion

154_WEALTH_1119.indd 154

Exclusive Waterfront Event Space Coming Winter 2019 Bird’s-eye view of The Square

about prenuptial agreements too late. “They wait until the child is in a relationship, trying to develop trust and create a separate identity as a couple, before they bring it up, which is absolutely the worst time,” he says. “If you wait until the engagement, you will likely get conflict because the person coming into the family will see it as a test of loyalty and love.”

The right time to begin specific discussions of prenuptial agreements with children is when they are in college, Jaffe says. He suggests parents talk about the goal of sustaining family unity by limiting the ways assets can be shared—for example, that they will not provide income in place of a career. “Through those conversations, kids learn they have to take care of themselves and that the family wealth is limited,” he explains. “Then they already know by the time they start seriously dating that there are limits and responsibilities around the family assets.”

If parents have prepped their children on the family’s financial mission and goals (ongoing family meetings are a great way to do this) they’ll have enough knowledge to have the talk about prenuptial agreements alone. Later, including the future spouse in a family meeting can provide an opportunity for the couple to discuss their concerns and learn what to expect from the family money—private school education for their children, for example, or help with the purchase of a home or a loan for a business, says Jaffe. In some instances, depending on the complexity of the family’s assets and its skill in facilitating conversations, professional advisors can assist in the explanations and keep the meeting on track.

Jaffe advises families to realize that aside from the nuts-and-bolts discussions about how wealth is shared, it can be intimidating for a non-wealthy person to marry into a rich family. “That person is probably scared and feeling very insignificant, wondering how to fit in and what it means for the couple’s future children,” he says. In a delicate situation such as this, conflict and mistrust can bubble up quickly, so clarity and education are critical at the outset. “You don’t want the person coming into the family to have any misunderstanding, but to come in with trust. I always find that when there’s conflict it’s because there wasn’t enough discussion beforehand.” «

FALLING SLOWLY

Music has the power to transform lives and forge deep relationships. At least, that’s the message at the core of the charming hit musical Once, onstage at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach November 27. The 2007 film of the same name introduced audiences to “Guy,” a down-on-his-luck Irish busker, and “Girl,” a Czech flower peddler who happens upon Guy while he’s performing on the streets of Dublin.

Guy is at a turning point in his career—if you can even call it that—but Girl’s passion for his talent proves to be a huge influence on him, both professionally and personally. Of course, love stories are seldom simple, and while Guy and Girl hit it off musically, they face challenges when it comes to finding harmony as a couple.

Throughout their week together, they pen hauntingly heartbreaking odes such as “Falling Slowly” and “If You Want Me,” tunes that helped the Broadway adaptation earn the Tony Award for Best Musical. (kravis.org)

LIFE OF THE PARTY

«

Enjoy an evening of hot jazz at Arts Garage in Delray Beach on November 9 courtesy of Emily Asher’s Garden Party. Asher started her eponymous ensemble as a way to capture and share the effervescent nature of a springtime backyard garden party. Since their first performance in 2011, EAGP has toured nationally and internationally, playing to audiences in America and Europe’s top jazz clubs and dance halls. Although born in Seattle and based in New York City, Asher has a passion for New Orleans brass bands. The spirit of that musical tradition is alive and well in her group, which consists of her on trombone and lead vocals, backed by seasoned musicians on trumpet, clarinet, saxophone, upright bass, guitar, drums, and piano.

EMILY’S PICKS

Social SEASON

Solidify your status as belle of the ball with these MUST-HAVES

By Emily Pantelides

BOW TIE Fall 2019 Couture collection gown (price upon request), Giambattista Valli, giambattistavalli.com

SPARKLING SHOWSTOPPER Estate collection turquoise and diamond necklace ($67,990), Provident Jewelry, Palm Beach SPA DAY Scalp and hair spa care duo ($84), Beigic, beigic.com/us

SNAKE CHARMER Rose Lilith snakeskin high-heel sandals with buckle ($695), Marion Parke, marionparke.com

The social season is officially upon us, and this year is on track to be bigger and fancier than ever.

While party-hopping, it’s vital that your wardrobe stands out from the pack. With that in mind, I’ve curated some fashionable finds that are equal parts glamorous, feminine, and sophisticated. Dress up an LBD with a colorful clutch from Elizabeth Sutton, pink heels from Marion Parke, or a stunning necklace from Provident Jewelry, which is my go-to shop for fine jewelry. Flawless skin and tresses are another social must, and I’m loving the Korean brand Beigic, which has finally landed in the U.S. and is generating a lot of buzz—which might be due to the coffee beans used in its scalp and hair duo.

Season is also the perfect time to practice perfect etiquette, so make sure to send out plenty of thank-you cards. I recommend stationery from Giddy Paperie, a l FOR MORE FASHIONABLE local company run by a motherBUYS, WATCH THE “EMILY’S PICKS” daughter duo with a passion for SEGMENT ON CBS12.COM. posh paper.
