8/25/17 10:29 AM

From the Editor Last October, my family and I attended FAU’s Halloween Spooktacular party at the Eleanor R. Baldwin House. I vividly remember two things from that night: the first thing I saw when I walked in—a gory “surgery” scene, complete with creepy doctors—and my conviction that if the president’s mansion can look this good as a spooky hospital, it would clean up pretty nicely for a magazine story.

Having known and admired FAU President John Kelly and his lovely wife, Carolyn, for some time, I also knew their personal story was worth sharing with our readers. John has absolutely transformed the university, which ranked No. 10 (out of 11) in the state metrics when he took over, with innovative programs, aggressive fundraising, and a single-minded focus on research. He and Carolyn are charismatic leaders, but they’re also warm family people who love to welcome guests into their home, be it for a dignified trustee dinner or an all-American family barbecue.

While Baldwin House is a fabulous venue for entertaining, a glimpse at how the Kellys live in the mansion every day makes for an intimate portrait of FAU’s first family—and we’re proud to have that exclusive. Starting on page 44, we take you inside the “Owl’s Nest” and offer insight on a unique lifestyle that begins and ends with a passion for excellence.

For this home-centric issue, we also turn the spotlight on parties. (This is Palm Beach, after all.) I could think of no one better to host a themed soiree than Brandie Herbst, whose eye for design is rivaled only by her talent in the kitchen. Brandie doesn’t just cook; she creates an elaborate mise en scène around her culinary creations. For her “Thai Takeover,” she brought in green curry from Thailand, bedecked the dining room with an explosion of orchids, folded every one of her lemongrass pork rose dumplings, invented a cucumber cocktail, made the perfect à la minute pad Thai, and—deep breath—looked stunning as guests came to the door. Even her husband, restaurateur Todd Herbst, doesn’t know how she does it. Check out her secrets on page 62.

While you’re in entertaining mode, don’t miss “Life of the Party” (page 52), our ode to history’s most illustrious hosts. Palm Beach County designers have given us their interpretation of fabled shindigs, from Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball to Babe Paley’s society luncheons. And wait till you see this clever version of Andy Warhol’s Factory. Let’s just say it’s a drag.

Enjoy the issue!

Free spirited and audacious designer Kenzo Takada, known as "the most Parisian of Japanese fashion designers", has designed an exceptional collection of fabrics and ceramics for Roche Bobois.

To dress the Mah Jong sofa, he drew inspiration from traditional kimonos of the NĂ´ theater.

He reinterpreted the motifs and colors, creating delicate and sophisticated harmonies that symbolize the three times of the day: Asa (morning), Hiru (noon), and Yoru (evening).

rom Worth Avenue to Royal Poinciana Way and all the green spaces in between, The Garden Club of Palm Beach has played a vital role in the island’s beautification. The organization, founded in 1928, has spent nearly nine decades preserving local horticulture and spearheading projects that forever change the town’s terrain. Every Palm Beach entrance point bears the club’s influence. In 1935, club members planted three blocks of trees along Royal Palm Way, forming an iconic scene. More recently, the club sponsored the creation of the Oasis Traffic Circle at the Southern and South Ocean Boulevard median as well as the Kaleidoscope Circles on Royal Poinciana Way. Both are complex works of horticultural art that incorporate drought-, salt-, and wind-tolerant plants. The club’s next major project on the docket is working alongside the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach on landscaping for the new Bradley Park. “Our late member Ann Blades had a dream of a grove of pink flowering trees in front of the Tea House,” explains Garden Club President Elizabeth Thebaut. “That became the nucleus of the plan.” (561-837-6635, gardenclubpalmbeach.com) What’s your favorite Palm Beach

BUY THE BOOK

Assouline, the luxury book brand founded by Prosper and Martine Assouline, will open up shop this month at The Royal Poinciana Plaza in Palm Beach. The 400-squarefoot boutique will carry books dedicated to cultural topics, such as iconic destinations, notable connoisseurs, and legendary artists. It will also offer vintage pieces from the publisher’s catalogue and curated objects from the Assoulines’ travels. (assouline.com)

Bob Currie never wanted to be an architect. His father was one, but the job just didn’t appeal to him. That was until he took architecture classes during his freshman year of college and fell in love.

“From then on, I felt sorry for anybody who wasn’t an architect,” Currie says.

While pursuing a master’s degree at Harvard, Currie became enamored with modern architecture. He studied up on the greats, looking to Cubist-inspired designs by Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto’s Humanist approach for inspiration.

He got his start at The Architects’ Collaborative, working under Walter Gropius, the founder of Germany’s Bauhaus.

During this time, he worked abroad in cities like Athens and Rome. After a stint in Australia, he settled down in Delray Beach, opening his own firm in 1969.

Today, Currie Sowards Aguila Architects is responsible for some of the county’s most recognizable buildings and districts. Although the firm’s projects run the gamut, Currie gravitates toward cultural projects. Take, for instance, Old School Square. When Currie signed on to reimagine the derelict duo of former school houses in the late 1980s, Delray Beach was not the family-friendly beach 22

town it is now.

“They used to say you could shoot a canon down Atlantic Avenue [weekend nights] and never hit anybody because everybody was afraid to go out,” Currie recalls. “This project was the catalyst that spurred a renaissance.”

Over the decades, Currie has continued to revamp downtown Delray, including a new master plan for Old School Square and an arts warehouse slated to open this fall in the Pineapple Grove Arts District. In the north county, his firm is spearheading the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s $25 million expansion.

While he prefers designing arts institutions, Currie’s influence is everywhere, from the Mizner Park Amphitheater and countless country clubs to hotels and eateries like the Sundy House restaurant. For aspiring architects looking for similar success, he has three nuggets of advice: work with firms of various sizes, travel a lot, and learn to draw.

He adds, “Everything’s on computers now, but I think talented designers all use a pencil to figure it out.” (561-2764951, csa-architects.com)

Discover the apex of New Zealand hospitality and natural splendor at hedge fund titan Julian Robertson’s trio of esteemed lodges

The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs caters to golfers and gourmands with a stellar course and high-end fare.

F

jords, glaciers, rolling hills, conical volcanoes, pink-sand beaches, temperate rainforests, and towering Totara forests: New Zealand’s landscapes are powerful and diverse. They’re the fantasy backdrops synonymous with J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth and the reality of an island nation promising adrenaline-packed adventures, world-class golf, and Napa-style wine country pursuits.

While covering the entirety of New Zealand’s glorious 103,737 square miles could never happen in a single trip, American billionaire Julian Robertson has made it possible to experience the best of New Zealand in fewer than 10 days—and to do it in high style.

Robertson’s long-standing love affair with New Zealand prompted him to develop three top-tier lodges strategically positioned within the country’s most scenic locales: the Bay of Islands’ multihued beaches, Hawke’s Bay’s coastal wine country, and Queenstown’s snow-capped peaks and glacial-lake grandeur.

Nowadays, these well-connected, family-run resorts comprise the go-to circuit for a seam-

The golf course at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers measures 7,119 yards and is one of the property's top draws.

less New Zealand journey, underscored by memorable outdoor thrills, unabashed pampering, and superlative gastronomy.

Start your five-star Kiwi fast track in the northern reaches of the North Island, high atop Matauri Bay at The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs (kauricliffs.com), a 22-suite property strewn across a 6,000-acre farm with three private beaches, stunning nature trails, and a par 72, David Harman–designed championship golf course. Tucked into a native Totara forest, the well-appointed cottage suites feature expansive terraces that overlook the emerald Cavalli Islands. They’re also within walking distance of communal areas like the infinity swimming pool, the full-service spa, and the main house, where lavish meals are served in an elegant, formal setting (read: pack the haute couture and expect canapés, aperitifs, and at least three courses).

For non-golfers, days are typically spent exploring the Bay of Islands’ great outdoors by foot, bike, or quad bike, with nearly all trails descending to one of three sparkling beaches, each with its own personality. Pink Beach, so named for its pink-shell sand, is ideal for picnics, sunbathing, and relaxation on the titanic wooden swings that dangle from the colorful Pohutukawa trees; goldsand Takou was made for surfing and horseback riding; and white-sand Waiaua offers non-motorized watersports and snorkeling.

At some point, you’ll want to detour from the sheep- and cow-dotted pastures and beach trails to see the lodge’s 700-year-old giant Kauri tree, as well as the picturesque waterfall that graces the property’s western perimeter.

Next, head southeast some 425-plus miles (by helicopter or plane, preferably) to The Farm at Cape Kidnappers (capekid nappers.com). As Kauri Cliff’s sister farm, it also measures more than 6,000 acres, has 22 suites, and hosts a championship golf course, though this one is a par 71 designed

by Tom Doak. Given its location in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand’s oldest wine-producing region, Cape Kidnappers is a fabulous home base for exploits in wine country, where renowned estates like Elephant Hill and Vidal produce peppery, award-winning Syrahs, rich

Bordeaux blends, and crisp, unoaked Chardonnays. The tastings continue on property in the early evening, when local varietals are served by the main fireplace, followed by a wine-paired dinner starring sophisticated farm-to-table cuisine; prepare to drool over the likes of beetroot-and-goat-cheese macarons, followed by smoked beef tartare and line-caught snapper with sweet potato, bean noodles, and fennel in a beurre blanc.

Most of Hawke’s Bay is inaccessible by four wheel-drive vehicles or bicycles, so plan to traverse the property’s immense craggy coastline and rollercoaster-like bayside hills

by Can Am ATV, instead. Gawk at the rugged, wave-battered cliffs, laugh at the antics of curious sheep, and ready your camera for the largest mainland colony of gannets on Earth.

Nature lovers should also consider a morning or afternoon on the Kiwi Discovery Walk, a guaranteed opportunity to observe endangered, flightless kiwi birds in their native habitat. Though avid golfers will likely opt out of all the above to tee off all day, non-golfers should also check out the coastal course—the vistas from holes 14 and 7 are exactly what New Zealand dreams are made of.

For the third and final stop, travel deep into the South Island to the 11-room Matakauri Lodge (matakaurilodge.com) in Queenstown, the country’s adventure capital. Free fall from the original bungee jump platform

035-Escape-1017-2.indd 37

or opt for A.J. Hackett’s high-octane sequel, “The Ledge.” Afterward, go for a glide on the world’s highest swing. Spend a day hiking remote trails, heli-skiing on otherworldly slopes, or zipping through narrow canyon rivers aboard jet boats pushed to maximum speed—just don’t be alarmed when fishtailing into 360-degree spins. For a tamer outing, take a helicopter tour over the fjords and waterfalls of Fiordland National Park, specifically Milford Sound, or visit the real-life landscapes that served as scenery for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films.

With so much to do elsewhere, Matakauri, unlike its sister properties, is more of a place to rest your head than to linger (though the pool is lovely in the summer, as is the spa, year-round). Still, each day here begins and ends with priceless views of Lake Wakatipu and Cecil Peak through floor-to-ceiling windows, and the gourmet meals stand on par with Cape Kidnappers and Kauri Cliffs. But speaking from experience, consider restricting the caloric indulgences to the first two lodges because jumping off a 1,200-foot ledge the morning after a four-course, five-cocktail evening is a guaranteed entrance into Mordor, the darkest part of Middle Earth. «

Top: Beyond its coastal golf course, Cape Kidnappers offers plush suites and farm-fresh cuisine. Below: A pleasure to visit any season, the Matakauri Lodge marries luxurious accommodations, thrilling adventures, and fine dining.

BMW’s seventh-generation 5 Series traded driving pyrotechnics for refined luxury—but it stills sparks passion

By Howard Walker You’ve most likely never heard of the songbird Beth Rowley. She’s the English jazz chanteuse who melts hearts in the 2009 movie An Education with her rendition of “You’ve Got Me Wrapped Around Your Little Finger.” YouTube her—you won’t be disappointed.

But this “Ultimate Driving Machine” needs to be driven to be fully appreciated. A press of the start button (again, a pinkie will do) and the 3.0-liter turbo-six bursts into life. It packs a 335-horsepower punch, an increase of 35 hp. Coupled to BMW’s divine 8-speed automatic, it can catapult the 540i from standstill to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.

This is one of the world’s great engines: turbine-smooth, eager to respond, and spookily quiet while cruising at 15 or 150 mph. It’s economical, too, averaging 30 miles per gallon at highway speeds.

But the argument here is whether this new 5 Series is a true, hardfocused sports sedan like BMW’s 5 Series of old, cars that earned

their “Ultimate Driving Machine” tagline. Short answer: Probably not.

Even with the must-have $2,600 M Sport Package that lowers and stiffens the suspension and adds 19-inch alloys and an aero body kit, the 540i is more a luxury liner than a hard-core curve carver. Leave that job to the upcoming M5.

Still, it’s a joy to drive. There’s just enough firmness in the ride, precision in the steering, and agility in the handling to make every serpentine back road a thrill for the enthusiast. Yet it won’t intimidate or overwhelm the less intense pilot.

BMW draws drivers to its 540i fold with a highly seductive $57,445 base sticker. By the time you’ve added all the option packages, you’ll be looking at around $80,000. Our tester topped out at $81,910.

But as Ms. Rowley knows all too well, this is a car that will definitely keep you wrapped around its little finger. «

Owl’s Nest

John and Carolyn Kelly are leading Florida Atlantic University to new heights from Baldwin House, the presidential estate in the center of campus 

BY KRISTEN DESMOND LEFEVRE PHOTOGRAPHY BY JERRY RABINOWITZ Baldwin House, named in honor of FAU benefactor Eleanor R. Baldwin, is a private residence and a venue to celebrate university achievements and host supporters.

T

he Eleanor R. Baldwin House has seen its share of events—from the sublime to the curious—since opening in 2002. Early on, in 2003, it was the backdrop for a dinner honoring Nobel Peace Laureate Elie Wiesel. More than a decade later, in the summer of 2016, it had the dubious distinction of harboring two Pokémon stops on the Pokémon Go app. “I kept noticing people stopping at our front gate,” Carolyn Kelly, Florida Atlantic University’s first lady, says, laughing. “They thought it was a public space. They didn’t realize it was a private residence.”

Whether you’re an invited guest or someone trying to “catch ’em all” from outside the home’s front gates, the two-story, 14,000-square-foot Baldwin House cuts an imposing figure with its domed roof, arched windows, and Mediterranean-style portico.

But inside, it’s just a home, one in which FAU president John Kelly and his wife, Carolyn, are raising their daughters—15-year-old Carly and 4-year-old Stella—and a trio of rescue Norfolk Terriers named Sherlock, Holmes, and Mr. Fox.

Bottom left and opposite page: The Grand Room is the main entertaining area for cocktail parties, which often spill onto the adjoining terrace. It features two large staircases and a soaring ceiling dotted with chandeliers.

It’s where Stella went from crawling to walking across a 2,000-pound mosaic of the university seal, and where she plays on sunny afternoons near the bronze fountain in the backyard.

It’s where Carly can walk to and from Alexander D. Henderson University School/FAU High School, where she’s dual-enrolled this year, taking both high school and college-level courses on the same campus her father is charged with running.

It’s where the girls can relax on the porch swing with their mother, and where their father can stop by to read a bedtime story between late meetings, share Chinese takeout and a family flick, or work in the garden.

At the same time, it’s a place for university banquets under the chandeliers in the Grand Room, donor gatherings in the 20-seat dining room, or casual alumni affairs on the terrace.

Carolyn’s solution for balancing a house that sits in the middle of the bustling Boca Raton campus and at the intersection of familial love and university life? Furniture with storage. Like any family, she explains, the signs of kids and dogs are everywhere. When

the time comes to welcome guests, Carolyn says she “scoops it all up” into pieces purchased for just that purpose.



The house is a key part of a perks package for Florida Atlantic University’s first family. But when Dr. John Kelly was named president in January 2014, it was a tough time to be an FAU Owl. The university was ranked tenth among 11 Florida institutions, the football team hadn’t seen a winning season in several years, and local newspapers were running stories about a stadium sponsor sullied by rumors of human rights abuses.

Still, Kelly publicly pledged to make “FAU the fastest-improving university in America.” Two years later, the Florida Board of Governors ranked FAU as the state’s top-performing public university—silencing critics and garnering $25 million in performance-based grants from the legislature.

A rise like that doesn’t come easily.

Did it take blood? Sweat? Tears? “All that and more,” the president says with a smile. “But to that mix you’ve got to add joy. You can’t let these kinds of challenges be a hammer over your head.

46 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

044-FAU-1017.indd 46

8/31/17 4:20 PM

You have to let it be the thing you can’t wait to get up with.”

This mindset has guided Kelly from an early age. Although his father urged him to study engineering at Clemson University, Kelly majored in horticulture instead. “My first job was in a greenhouse in Easley, South Carolina,” he says. “Every day, the temperature was well over 100 degrees.

I learned to outwork other people in spite of the conditions, and I loved every bit of it.”

Kelly was unsure about his postgraduate path until an advisor encouraged him to pursue an advanced degree at Ohio State University. “All of a sudden, I was living and learning with people from all over the country and around the globe,” he says of the experience. He delighted in making new discoveries, and this enthusiasm often kept him working in his lab late into the night. “It gave me a real love for the world of academia,” he says.

Not long after Kelly received his Ph.D. in agriculture, his alma mater came calling. He returned to Clemson, spending 28 years there as an administrator and ultimately a university vice president. It was during that time he met Carolyn. “When I saw him for the first time, the governor was grilling him at a budget meeting on live TV,” she recalls. “It was quite the spectacle.” A week later, he asked Carolyn on their first date: a Clemson University football game in 2005. They were married in 2008.

When Clemson hired James Barker as president in 2000, he tapped Kelly to help transform the school—then ranked seventy-eighth in the U.S. according to U.S. News & World Report—into one of the nation’s top 20 universities. It took 14 years. “It was a long experience but it was driven by

the passion and love of getting better at everything you do,” Kelly says.

When Kelly was offered the FAU presidency by a unanimous vote of the university’s board of trustees, he felt prepared to apply his success at Clemson to the floundering institution. “I’m going to roll up my sleeves and get to work,” he told the board, according to the Sun Sentinel. “I’m ready to go.”

Being ready to go was tougher for Carolyn, who was employed as the director of South Carolina’s Coastal Program. She enjoyed her work and felt pride in being the first woman to serve in the agency’s top spot. But, she was thrilled for her husband and took heart in FAU’s proximity to the beach. “Being near the ocean was part of our deal,” Carolyn recalls. “When this offer came up, it was hard to say no.”



The Kellys are the third family to live in Baldwin House, but they’ve made it their own.

Kelly had his work cut out for him when he arrived on campus in March 2014. “We were ranked tenth in the state metrics,” he explains. “Then two years ago, we went from tenth to fifth.” By 2016, FAU had moved into first place, thanks to big gains in areas like graduation rates, which improved from 45 to 48.9 percent over one year.

But by 2017, the university had

48 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

044-FAU-1017.indd 48

9/6/17 2:37 PM

slipped back to seventh place. Kelly admits it’s hard to stay on top when schools like the University of Florida can outspend FAU with ease. “You come and go in those metrics,” he says, emphasizing that progress is still being made, especially in fundraising.

Kelly’s goal now? “It’s constantly, passionately continuing to ask: ‘What can we do to keep getting better and better?’” he says. His commitment to FAU’s improvement is outlined in a 10-year strategic plan known as The Race to Excellence, and he’s aware it’s a race he can’t run alone.

That’s why he’s dogged about empowering his staff—from the classroom to the athletic field—to achieve lofty goals.

Consider Kelly’s devotion to furthering research at FAU. He recently tasked Vice President of Research Daniel Flynn with growing expenditures to $100 million by 2020, while also challenging him to think about how to get from $100 million to $200 million. It’s a practice Kelly says he does with all of his staff members. “You

044-FAU-1017.indd 49

can get wide-eyed on those goals, but if you don’t know where you’re going, how do you get there?” he asks. “You’re not going to meander to greatness.”

Kelly’s also committed to athletics.

New head coach Lane Kiffin, who boasts impressive credentials from the SEC and the NFL, is leading the Owls’ 2017-18 football season. “I didn’t hire Lane to win three games,” he says. “I want him to be successful.” To help sow those seeds, Kelly is overseeing an ambitious new building project: the $40 million Schmidt Family Complex for Academic and Athletic Excellence, scheduled to open in summer 2018.

Beyond FAU’s metrics, Kelly has a sincere desire to serve his students. That’s why he’s adamant about the Schmidt Complex’s moniker as a success center for all students—not just athletes. “It’s about giving you the tools to be resilient as a person,” he explains. “Whatever happens to knock you down, you’re going to be able to come back from it. We’re PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | OCTOBER 2017

49

8/25/17 2:02 PM

going to give you the support to be successful here at FAU, and in life beyond FAU.”



The Kellys enjoy spending quality time together outside on the back porch. It’s the site of their annual family barbecue, when hay bales and a country singer set an authentic Americana scene.

In many ways, Kelly is still that teenaged greenhouse grunt, that graduate student last to leave the lab. “It’s still not unusual for me to be here working until three o’clock in the morning,” he admits.

Luckily, the Baldwin House’s location makes it easier to put in a late night and be ready for action the next day. It’s a place to schmooze, entertain, throw parties, but it’s also

the first family’s refuge in the midst of the hustle and bustle. “If I was several miles away, there would be sacrifices I’d have to make,” Kelly says. “Here, I can come home and see my daughters for 15 minutes at least before bedtime.”

The Kellys are the third family to live in the Baldwin House, but they’ve made the home their own.

Carolyn has overseen the project, adding an outdoor barbecue area (where her husband delights in grilling), brightening up the Temple Dining Room, and displaying the

university’s collection of paintings by Floridian artist A.E. “Beanie” Backus.

Although the works depict an old Florida that’s hard to spot in modernday Boca Raton, they remind Carolyn of the South Carolina coastline that’s so close to her heart. “They make it feel like home,” she says.

The yard allows Kelly to return to his horticultural roots. “I’ve done a lot of planting here,” he says with pride, pointing to banana, mango, and papaya trees off the back porch.

The front walkway features an array of tree-rooted orchids that owe their

044-FAU-1017.indd 51

livelihood to Kelly’s green thumb.

“They’re survivors of the various events we host here,” he jokes. “Some were gifts and some were centerpieces. But as soon as they start to go, I’m outside fixing them to a tree.”

Baldwin House is the ideal venue for the Kellys to throw all kinds of university functions, from donor dinners and away game watch-a-thons, to backyard barbecues and holiday parties—all of which are family friendly.

That’s just the way the Kellys like it: a family affair. “The other night we were hosting the Sandlers, who

made a $7 million gift to the university,” Carolyn says, recalling a recent formal event at Baldwin House. “Just as Harvey Sandler was getting up to speak, our dogs started barking. Everyone was a little startled, but [we] were like: ‘Well, this is our home— dogs, kids, and all.’”

From work life to home life, John and Carolyn Kelly see it all as a journey rather than a destination. “Even the Race to Excellence has no finish line—and that’s a good thing,” Kelly says. “What matters most are the successes that come along the way.” «

Dr. Kelly often cooks for his girls on the new outdoor grill and hones his green thumb in the garden, where he’s planted various fruit trees and incorporated tree-rooted orchids.

Life of THE PARTY Some hosts have a knack for turning entertaining into an art form. Just think of the legendary Louis XIV and his opulent parties at the Palace of Versailles. Or, more locally, cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and her Gilded Age galas at Mar-a-Lago.

Keeping with this legacy of merriment and good taste, we presented five area designers with a festive challenge: create captivating tablescapes inspired by revered hosts, hostesses, or events. The results are sure to elicit revelry of the hautest order.

Truman Capote | Black & White Ball Judy Howard Harpel

In 1966, Truman Capote was in his prime. Hot off the success of his nonfiction tome, In Cold Blood, the author invited 540 of his closest friends to the Plaza Hotel for what would go down in socialite history as the party of the century. Judy Howard Harpel of J/Howard Design Inc. joined forces with Mary Mahoney to bring Capote’s Black and White Ball to life inside Mahoney’s Worth Avenue boutique. Ink drawings by Molly Dimeo form a rich backdrop for a lavish tabletop that evokes the cheeky sophistication of circa-1960s Manhattan. Luxe pieces embrace the austere color story, including a crystal lamp from Baccarat, Sol y Sombra dinnerware by Christian Lacroix, and a martini shaker and glasses from David Redman. Alcohol and cigarettes—Capote’s preferred vices—complete the look. J/Howard Design Inc., Delray Beach (561-274-9354, jhowarddesign.com) 52

Talitha Getty | A Boho Picnic Katherine Shenaman Model, fashion muse, and jet-setter Talitha Getty was known for her Bohemian parties, which were inspired by the exotic lands and seminomadic lifestyle that informed her signature style. Channeling Getty for a Palm Beach sensibility, Katherine Shenaman designed a tropical Gypset vignette with collected pieces such as a Moroccan hassock from Pier 1; mismatched blankets and pillows, laid on the grass picnic-style, from Anthropologie; rattan chairs from Bamboo and Rattan; and the quintessential accessory of the 1960s, an acoustic guitar. When arranged beneath the dappled shade of a sea grape tree, the scene takes on a languid, romantic tone, as if it were an impromptu gathering on the lawn of Getty’s Marrakech haunt, aptly named Pleasure Palace.

Babe Paley | Ladies’ Lunch Sara McCann One of Truman Capote’s legendary swans, Babe Paley was a formidable hostess in her own right. Taking cues from photos of Paley in her tropical Jamaican pavilion, Sara McCann of Hive Home, Gift & Garden sought to update the former Vogue fashion editor’s effortless style. Paying homage to Paley’s preference for layering tables with a mix of colors and textures, McCann began with cane accent chairs by Mark Sikes for Henredon, echoing that aesthetic in the chargers and Juliska bamboo napkin rings. Edging more toward the traditional, she then incorporated beaded plates from L’Objet and Pointillism-style salad plates by Médard de Noblat, with the same blue reappearing in highball glasses, also from Juliska. A whimsical bouquet and fruit parfaits served in Champagne coupes further evoke Paley’s chic, islandinspired approach to entertaining.

Andy Warhol | The Factory Sean Rush In the 1960s and ’70s, no one dominated the New York art scene like Andy Warhol. His gritty glitterati held court in the city’s hippest restaurants and nightclubs, often relocating the revelry to The Factory, Warhol’s silvery studio. Artist Sean Rush gave his own atelier the Warhol treatment for a nontraditional luncheon with a main course of Campbell’s tomato soup, naturally. After covering the walls with Reynolds Wrap, Rush hung a few of his own paintings and layered the table with dropcloths from Home Depot and a Moroccan horse blanket turned table runner. Simple Apilco soup bowls sit atop bare painters’ palettes, while white roses rest inside soup cans offset by clear Ralph Lauren glasses. Given the point of departure, Rush couldn’t resist adding a few tools of his artistic trade and employing a Grace Jones–esque drag queen for good measure.

AThai TakeoverA Brandie and Todd Herbst open up their Palm Beach home for an Asian-style soiree

By Kerry Shorr | Photography by Jerry Rabinowitz

Interior designer Brandie Herbst has harbored a passion for gastronomy since she was old enough to read. The flaxenhaired Michigan native considers herself a self-taught cookbook chef with a propensity for readapting recipes by illustrious toques. Although she grew up baking and cooking with her Polish and Finnish family members (who always made everything from scratch), her current tastes diverge from the flavors of her childhood.

“My cooking style is so different from how my aunts, uncles, and grandparents used to cook,” Brandie says. “I even cook differently than my mother. She does more classic, homegrown comfort foods, whereas I’ve stepped into another stratosphere and am more adventurous with flavors and menus.”

One of her greatest culinary talents is preparing French and Asian dishes to include fare like pho, a Vietnamese soup she often makes for her husband, Todd, co-owner of Big Time Restaurant Group in West Palm Beach. She began with an easy “faux pho” but, with help from a Vietnamese friend, graduated to a more authentic version using a homemade bone broth. “I became more comfortable and figured out how to navigate a cuisine that was totally foreign to me,” Brandie recalls.

When she’s not in the kitchen or decorating homes for clients like restaurateur Rocco Mangel, Brandie enjoys traveling abroad with Todd and their three young daughters. She collects wine keys from hotels around the world, and the family’s passports, filled with stamps from destinations like Kyoto and Saint-Tropez, are testaments to a life well-traveled. Sojourns to Spain, Turkey, and Greece top the Herbsts’ bucket list.

Brandie took it upon herself to study up on Thai cuisine in order to prepare the meal at home. Some appetizer highlights included vegetable summer rolls (above), lemongrass pork rose dumplings (below), and an Asian-inspired crudité platter (right).

She also handled the decorating, incorporating blueand-white dishware as well as a variety of fresh flowers.

Brandie’s wanderlust spirit and fondness for global flavors also take center stage in the intimate fêtes and larger bashes she frequently hosts at the couple’s Palm Beach residence.

Last year, for instance, Brandie and Todd had friends over for an Indian supper they’d won in an auction at their daughter’s school. To augment the evening’s South Asian theme, Brandie hand-piped mehndi designs onto cupcakes and also hired a henna tattoo artist and dancers to perform a Bollywood-style show.

“I love having a little surprise,” Brandie says.

“We cleared the furniture out of the living room and the dancers performed, then taught us how to dance.”

This past summer, she invited six close friends to her home for a festive, Thai-inspired celebration. And this time, she handled the food prep. For the six weeks leading up to the dinner party, she practiced the complex art of Thai cooking on Todd.

“I’m not picky, but I’m very direct when it comes to food. It’s my career,” Todd says. “She took it seriously and made a lot of additions. It was a challenge she intentionally put in front of herself.”

Brandie notes that while the recipes were new to her, many of the components were already staples of her pantry. “Cilantro and sriracha [a Thai chili sauce] are probably the two most commonly used ingredients in my house,” she says. “I use sriracha more than ketchup [and] I must have cilantro in something

“

My cooking style is so different from how my [family] used to cook. ... I’ve stepped into another stratosphere and am more adventurous with my flavors and menus.” —Brandie Herbst every day, whether it’s eggs or sprinkled on top of sweet potato fries.”

With the menu set, she turned her attention to the decor. While island hostesses often delegate event details to a professional planner, Brandie delights in doing the heavy lifting herself, like arranging the flowers and creating elaborate tablescapes from repurposed household sundries.

“I’ll pull things out of the kids’ rooms I think would make a fun conversation piece,” says Brandie, nodding to a Pottery Barn tea set tray and a Tiffany bowl filled with colorful Legos.

“There’s inspiration all over the place.”

Hours before her guests arrived, Brandie transformed her ranch-style home into a verdant Thai retreat. Starting with a blue-andwhite base, she weaved in pops of purple, pink, lavender, and gold. On the dining room table, she layered Kim Seybert bamboo placemats beneath her treasured Aerin Lauder plates and topped them with floral napkins from Anthropologie and wooden Constellation napkin rings, also by Kim Seybert. A trio of Chinese vases held yellow Mokara orchids, and pink Cymbidium orchids floated in Arte Italica Burano dipping bowls.

She tied swags of purple Phalaenopsis orchids to the chandelier and placed more Cymbidiums inside the candle cups so that they softly glowed when the lights were lowered.

Lastly, she set a takeaway gift beside each woman’s plate: a small, decorative wooden box with a Thai carved flower soap inside.

That evening, Brandie, Todd, and their daughters welcomed guests with help from the family’s Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Delphine.

In the living room, Ervin Machado, the sommelier at Louie Bossi’s Ristorante, served Asian beers and a special Cucumber Smash cocktail, presented in a pineapple-shaped glass garnished with lime wheels, edible flowers, and Thai basil. Machado also picked the wines and Champagnes for the four-course dinner that followed.

—Todd Herbst

“When you go to Brandie’s house for a dinner party, it’s about being completely and utterly pampered,” says guest Amy Lagae, who’s known Brandie for 10 years.

“It’s not just about the food. She sets a scene. It’s like you’re going to a play. There’s a theme and a setting. No detail is left unturned.”

While the group chatted and sipped their libations, Brandie made quick trips to the kitchen, each time returning with a decadent platter of canapés. The hors d’oeuvres included cumin-spiced chicken rice flowers; pork and plum endive wraps; lemongrass pork rose dumplings; summer rolls with pickled cucumbers, radishes, carrots, and jalapeño; and a crudité platter with

The tablescape celebrated color and florals, with ladies receiving carved soaps in the shape of a flower.

In addition to a selection of Thai-marinated grilled vegetables, the dinner menu featured authentic delicacies like green papaya salad and a beef green curry over Jasmine rice (opposite page).

sea salt wonton crisps, a red curry dipping sauce, and Thai-basil-andchili-pepper hummus.

When the kids headed to bed, Brandie escorted her friends into the dining room. The group discussed two of their favorite subjects—children and travel itineraries—while being served the first course of green papaya salad. Next up was a beef green curry spooned over fragrant jasmine rice. Brandie had planned to make the curry paste herself but had a popular Thai version shipped from overseas, instead.

The evening’s most anticipated dish came next: shrimp pad thai.

“That dish was the one I worked on the most,” says Brandie, who sourced the majority of her ingredients from Whole Foods and local Asian markets. “There’s a specific noodle you have to get and a certain way to make the sauce. The shrimp have to be cooked on the spot, as do the noodles. There’s a reason why these things are left to the Thai.”

As guests tucked into the savory 68

dish, condiment caddies with traditional Thai sauces, like a flaming-hot chili sauce and a cucumber relish, made the rounds. When Todd first tried them, he knew he was “tasting something special.”

Amy Lagae agreed. “My husband, John, told me Brandie’s sauces were absolutely the best he’s ever had in the world, and he’s a hot sauce connoisseur.”

The meal ended on a sweet note when Brandie presented a coconut panna cotta paired with a mango sorbet to cool any remaining fires.

After the last couple had left, Brandie and Todd tossed around ideas for their next shindig that included a Nobu-style Japanese dinner. “It’s fun when you have someone like Brandie who enjoys what she does and is good at it,” Todd says. “If she’s willing to continue doing it, then I am as well.”

Thankfully, Brandie shows no signs of slowing down. She adds: “There’s no greater gift I can give than cooking, hospitality, and warmth. It’s an honest reflection of who I am.” «

New Wave

Before it appeared on menus in countless local restaurants, Hawaiian poke (pronounced “poh-kay”) could be found everywhere across the Pacific islands, from grocery stores to gas stations. The traditional dish, which rose in popularity in the 1970s, was casual, easy to eat, and made with cubed cuts from the head or tail of whatever fresh catch was available. The raw fish would be mixed with sea salt, algae or seaweed, and roasted kukui nuts. Since then, poke has traveled to the mainland and picked up some variations along the way, with chefs introducing Asian and Latin ingredients and also elevating the fish quality to prime pieces of tuna and salmon. South Floridians are hooked on this healthy and flavorful dish, which is comparable to an amped-up tuna tartare. Turn the page to discover our favorite places to savor poke. —Liz Petoniak

COCKTAIL CORNER Seoul Sunshine

Ever wonder what’s the most popular liquor in the world? Is it vodka? Whiskey?

“Soju, a Korean distilled beverage using rice, wheat, or barley and occasionally potato, is actually the No. 1 consumed spirit in the world,” says Angela Dugan, head of the cocktail program at Kapow Noodle Bar, which recently opened its second location on Clematis Street.

Though Soju is typically enjoyed neat in South Korea, Dugan utilizes it as a key ingredient in Kapow’s Seoul Sunshine libation. The neutral spirit blends easily and takes on the flavor profile of the ginger liqueur and fig jam. “Jam in cocktails not only provides sweetness, it also gives a rich texture,” she explains. The tequila and lime balance the drink for a savory-meets-sweet combination. West Palm Beach, Boca Raton (561-246-3827, 561-347-7322, kapownoodlebar.com) —L.P.

BUFFALO TRACE DISTILLERY

Located in Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky, Buffalo Trace distillery makes Sazerac Rye, a Louisiana favorite.

Rye Renaissance BUFFALO TRACE DISTILLERY

A beloved drink during the revolutionary era, rye whiskey is witnessing a comeback

Whistle Pig’s 10-year grain

88

BY MARK SPIVAK

Many Americans are aware Thomas Jefferson was a wine connoisseur, but few realize George Washington was a distiller. In fact, the father of our country was the eighteenth-century equivalent of Jack Daniels or Jim Beam. By 1799, the year of Washington’s death, his distillery produced 11,000 gallons, making it the largest in the country. The grist mill and distillation facility at Mount Vernon have been reconstructed and today turn out small batches of limitededition whiskey.

Despite living in Virginia, Washington made rye whiskey, the northern states’ favorite drink. (The South was more passionate about corn whiskey, which eventually morphed into moonshine.) Reportedly, the most popular recipe at Mount Vernon was 60 percent rye, 35 percent corn, and 5 percent malted barley.

There was a ready market for it: The average adult in the 1790s consumed 6 gallons of whiskey annually, nearly twice the current amount.

Rye remained popular until Prohibition, when it practically vanished from the landscape.

It came roaring back during the cocktail culture revival of the later twentieth century.

Bartenders were looking for spirits that made a dramatic statement on the palate, and the dry, spicy quality of rye was perfect. In addition, many of the classic pre-Prohibition cocktails called for rye, notably the Manhattan, the Sazerac, and the Old Fashioned.

American distillers were caught flat-footed by the sudden demand for rye, and many spent a decade or more catching up. Today’s consumer has different styles to choose from, ranging from sturdy cocktail mixers to luxury brands. Here are some favorites: SAZERAC ($35): Famous as the main component of New Orleans’ official cocktail, Sazerac Rye is made at the Buffalo Trace distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Crisp and fragrant, with overtones of bitter orange and chocolate, it also makes an excellent Manhattan. It’s hard to find, simply because the bulk of the supply gets shipped directly to the Big Easy.

WHISTLE PIG: Entrepreneur Raj Peter Bhakta bought a 500-acre farm in Vermont, hired former Maker’s Mark master distiller Dave Pickerell, and set out to create the country’s

years later. Composed of 95 percent rye and 5 percent malted barley, Bulleit mixes well in a variety of cocktails and constitutes an exceptional value.

RITTENHOUSE ($30): Another notable bargain, Rittenhouse started in Pennsylvania and is currently made by Heaven Hill in Bardstown, Kentucky. Despite coming in at 100 proof (50 percent alcohol), the whiskey is flavorful and balanced, becoming sweeter and more mellow when used in cocktails. «

best rye. Early versions, such as the 10-yearold ($80), were blended and aged from purchased spirits, but the recently released Farmstock ($90) is made from organic rye grown on property. At the high end of the scale, Bhakta sells the 12-year-old Boss Hog ($325) and an 11-year-old version bottled at 111 proof ($700).

ANGEL’S ENVY ($85): The late, legendary Lincoln Henderson, creator of Woodford Reserve and Gentleman Jack, came out of retirement to establish the Angel’s Envy brand. This rye finishes its aging process with 18 months in rum casks, giving a rich overlay to its smooth and spicy texture.

Only 2,500 cases were made, but a bottle can be secured with a bit of effort.

BULLEIT SMALL BATCH ($28): In 1987, Thomas E. Bulleit Jr. revived the recipe of his great-great-grandfather Augustus, a tavern keeper in 1830s Louisville who made “frontier whiskey.” As with Angel’s Envy, Bulleit bourbon came first and rye was added a few

Sophisticated Soak Opulence meets Old World glamour in this Boca Raton master bath, designed by Susan Lachance of Susan Lachance Interior Design.

Tasked with gutting the home, Lachance made this room equal parts palatial sanctuary and organized lavatory. The marble floors and lace drapes invite plenty of natural light inside, while the mirror-and-wood cabinetry offers ample storage. Luxuriate in the nickel-plated tub, or prep for a big night on the town at the makeup vanity from Caracole Furniture. A custom-painted ceiling fresco by Kristin Lucco delivers that wow factor, and a crystal chandelier illuminates the space in all its splendor.

WISE WILLOW Using nature as her muse, Mary Washer of Mary Washer Designs fused past and present Asian influences to create this sleek North Palm Beach dining room. “Of all the details that recall nature, my favorite is the rose quartz beaded chandelier by Allan Knight,” Washer says. “It feels like you could be eating under the branches of a weeping willow tree. The clean lines of the furnishing, while contemporary, work well alongside the Asian artifacts my clients had collected for many years.” Palm City (772-463-5353, marywasher.com)

SITTING PRETTY Whether it’s used as a table, chair, or artistic accent, the clover garden stool ($572) from Emissary is a multifaceted gem for indoor and outdoor spaces. Excentricities locations (excentricities.com)

BOLD AS BRASS With a golden hue and inscribed bamboo detailing, these midcentury modern brass table lamps ($3,950 for pair) will add an understated elegance to any environs. F.S. Henemader, Palm Beach (561-835-9237, fshene maderantiques.com) 92

HOW DO YOU SELL SO MANY HOUSES? Hard Work and Innovation How do you sell so many houses? It’s a question they get all the time.

The answers are simple, but not always easy. Waterfront Properties and Club Communities luxury real estate agents reiterate a similar theme, crediting hard work, and Waterfront’s innovative model as two main reasons they sell so many homes.

of people visiting multiple Waterfront websites, our agents can put their energy into selling the home and the community, instead of hunting leads,” Rob Thomson says. “We want them focused on driving the sale. They want the same thing. It’s not that hard.”

Increasingly over the last three decades, Waterfront Properties has accounted for more north county luxury waterfront real estate transactions than any other single brokerage.

Waterfront’s territory model brings sellers and buyers deep, actionable market knowledge. Stuart Luxury Specialist Adam Brown is a great example. A pilot, at one time he routinely flew

From the initial contact to contracts, there’s a precise and intentional process that drives the sale and purchase of homes. “Our model creates urgency,” Waterfront Properties Managing Partner Rob Thomson says. “Retaining a sense of urgency throughout the process means we drive the process. We can’t predict the finish line, but we know that with every step in our process, we’re drawing that finish line closer.” This is the philosophy Waterfront Properties’ luxury specialists work by.

his market. Today, he regularly studies aerial images of his market, committing the details to memory.“No one knows this area like I do,” Adam says. “I know every detail around the properties I’m showing, including how many homes are on either side and the water depth behind them. My clients are selling or buying an extremely expensive asset. To serve their needs, I owe them that level of knowledge.”

That level of professional responsibility extends to the companies Waterfront Properties can strategically align with at critical points in

“The difference is our mindset,” says Jupiter Island Specialist Susan

Turner. “There’s nothing casual about our approach. Really, we’re workers. We don’t list a property and leave it,” Turner says. “We list it, market it, and sell it. Along the way, we’re constantly collaborating with fellow agents about how to do all three better. Everything we do centers on how we can create a successful end result for our buyers and sellers.”

the transaction process.“It’s a one-stop shop here,” Adam says.“From mortgage brokers and surveyors to insurance and title companies, if need be, our sellers and buyers can work with professionals who we know and trust to drive the transaction. There are no surprises.”

Paul Thomson, a North Palm Beach luxury specialist, has been with Waterfront since 1989. “Many of the referrals I receive come from people I’ve been doing business with for nearly 30 years,” he

Jupiter and Juno Beach Condominium Specialist Andrea Roth says it this way: “From day one, Waterfront invests in you and shows you how to do this business better. They provide every tool and all the support to do it successfully. That leaves me free to focus my energy on buyers and sellers. Our company is one of the few that underwrites the entirety of agents marketing budgets and supplies nearly 100% of our leads. The Waterfront Properties model lets me work smarter and sell my listings faster and for the best price possible.”

“With a dedicated marketing staff behind them, and tens of thousands

says. “That might be the best part about our process. It really is its own best advertising.”

Paul says he has no secrets, adding that hard work and a willingness to keep learning have been the keys to his success. “The Waterfront Way was never about selling so many houses. It’s about committing that when we say we are going to do everything possible to sell a property, we follow through and do just that. We do.”

“Adam was able to sell our home in less than two weeks! We are grateful for the professional manner in which the sale was accomplished.”

– The Van Dinter Family

Adam Brown | 772.370.8570 | abteam@wfpcc.com

“After our listing expired with another company, we re-listed with Andrea Roth.

She came highly recommended by a neighbor and, within 48hrs. of the home hitting the market, it sold at almost full listing price! Andrea is on top of the market and is an excellent agent to have on your side.” – Mike D.

Andrea Roth | 561.713.7679 | andrea@wfpcc.com

“Paul’s very focused career has tooled him with deep knowledge and history of waterfront neighborhoods and properties. His long established client base matches sellers and buyers effectively. A consummate professional accompanied by a law degree inevitably translate to a smooth closing. He is transparent and accurate in his valuations assuring both buyers and sellers to walk away satisfied.” – Colleen M.

Paul Thomson | 561.371.3571 | pthomson@wfpcc.com

“Susan truly listened to what we wanted and, because of her incredible grasp on Jupiter Island inventory, only showed us properties that were right for us. She never wasted our time. We were so impressed with her that my sister and brotherin-law used her a year later to purchase a home in the area, too.” – Nina B.

THE

“CROWN JEWEL”

OF SINGER ISLAND SET TO SHINE

IN JANUARY. It has been many years since Singer Island, a quiet coastal community on the Atlantic Ocean just north of Palm Beach, has seen any new residential development. An absence of crowds and traffic is part of the island’s charm. It’s one of the few places in Florida where you can still enjoy expansive sandy white beaches, coral reefs teeming with marine life, and a state park protecting many native plants and rare and endangered wildlife species.

In keeping with this pristine setting, VistaBlue Singer Island, the first new condominium on the island in nearly a decade, is both luxurious and discreet. Its footprint is light – it was built on a modest oceanfront site previously occupied by an older building – and the slender, 19-story glass tower interjects itself gracefully alongside the older condominiums that line North Ocean Drive. There are only 58 residences in total – four on each floor with private elevator lobbies, and two extraordinary penthouses on the 19th floor – creating an exclusive and intimate ambiance.

“VistaBlue Singer Island really caters to the sophisticated buyer who wants to live close to Palm Beach’s world-class golf courses, restaurants and high-end shops, but craves the tranquility of living in a very natural setting,” explained Randall Tuller of developer Third Palm Capital. “Singer Island has all that, but what it lacked until now was a boutique condominium showcasing the newest and best in high-end design.”

ACTUAL PHOTO O F UNIT 5B

Design and construction quality has been a major draw for buyers, who hail from the immediate area and other parts of the U.S. Designed by architecture firm GliddenSpina, with interiors by award-winning firm Interiors by Steven G., residences feature 10-foot ceilings (12 feet in the penthouses), Italian porcelain flooring both indoors and outside on the wraparound terraces, designer kitchens with Miele appliances and Poggenpohl cabinetry, and level-five interior finishes.

For the more pragmatic buyers, features such as mold-resistant drywall, hurricane impact windows for winds up to 150 miles per hour, waterproofed terrace railings and waterproof stucco, and exterior concrete reinforced with galvanized steel also resonate strongly and signal long-term investment potential.

Which is perhaps the most extraordinary aspect of VistaBlue Singer Island: value. While older luxury beachfront luxury condos in Palm Beach typically resell at prices that equate to well over $700 per square foot on average…construction pricing for VistaBlue is only around $526 per square foot ($1.4 million for a 2,784 square foot residence with views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway).

VistaBlue Singer Island will be delivered move-in ready in the first quarter of 2018, and is the only condominium in Palm Beach County with its own private beach to deliver in early 2018. Five-star amenities include an elevated pool deck, two bars, and state-of-the-art fitness center with his and hers saunas. Residences can be obtained for a 20% deposit, held in escrow until closing.

VistaBlue Singer Island is on schedule to be delivered, move-in ready, in early 2018.

contemporary Rogers Design Group combines natural elements with minimalist architecture to fashion an unpretentious, palatial residence on Jupiter’s Loxahatchee River PHOTOGRAPHY BY ARGONAUT ARCHITECTURAL

BY MARY THURMAN YUHAS When Lorraine Rogers-Bolton saw the setting of this Jupiter home along the tranquil Loxahatchee River, she knew she had all the inspiration she needed. Rather than attempting to compete with the property’s raw, indigenous beauty, the president of Rogers Design Group emulated the outdoors by implementing organic materials and a rich, neutral color palette into her design. “The location is so pristine that I wanted the exterior and interior to complement each other in a symbiotic way,” she says.

The waterfront location provides an ideal setting for contemporary design and tropical touches.

organic contemporary

Rogers-Bolton’s principal philosophy is that interior architecture plays as big a part in a well-designed space as the furnishings. To soften the edges of the contemporary abode, Dennis Rainho, West Palm Beach–based architect at YRA Designs Inc., collaborated with Rogers-Bolton to imbue telluric features into the project without compromising its minimalistic roots. A shell stone driveway, made of concrete and seashells, leads to the two-story, custom residence. Chiseled Texas limestone brings texture to the front entry and breezeway. Brazilian ipe, a tropical hardwood as dark as mahogany, adds warmth, as do the bronze railings and custom lighting fixtures. Working in harmony, these features balance the home’s clean lines.

“I love streamlined, simple architecture, however I didn’t want the sterile feeling contemporary homes sometimes give,” RogersBolton explains. “Adding all the woodwork and stone creates a

112-Haven-RogersDesign-1016.indd 114

The kitchen embraces the juxtaposition of simple lines and stark whites with walnut cabinetry and the rich veins of color through the marble island. much more comfortable atmosphere. This ideology automatically elicits earthy tones.”

Walnut moldings dominate the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home, and the fabrics mirror the relaxed vibe. Scant prints or patterns ensure the focus remains on the waterfront views and the contours that frame them. In the great room, the tone-on-tone rug supplies contrast and a grounding point.

“Melding nature-given materials with simplicity of form creates an organic aesthetic,” she says. “Every inch of this home expresses that belief.”

Rogers-Bolton makes this apparent in her choice of soft colors— ivory, white, and taupe—punctuated with splashes of royal blue and periwinkle that echo the encompassing vista.

Above: Woodwork brings texture and warmth to the foyer. Right: Walnut nooks house the owner’s art collection. Below: A sculpture by Joe Glitterman, Poised, ameliorates the view of the Loxahatchee River.

Designed to savor South Florida’s ideal climate, the great room’s 10-foot-tall glass walls retract fully from the travertine stone column. The right glass wall opens to a southern exposure while the left reveals an eastern panorama and leads to a covered patio.

Once the glass barriers are fully encased in the opposing walls, the house opens up to a spectacular view of the Loxahatchee and the pool, creating the ultimate indoor-outdoor playground.

“The stunning views can be seen through the silver travertine columns and walnut soffits, which camouflage the sunshades beneath them,” Rogers-Bolton says. “It’s truly magnificent.”

In the matte-white kitchen, a strong architectural wall supports the custom cabinetry, encasing the wine refrigerator and serving bar. Entering through walnutframed windows, natural light illuminates the polished Macchia Vecchia marble waterfall island. A custom stainless steel hood and three bar stools with woven leather seats and stainless steel frames provide distinctive sheen.

Nowhere is RogersBolton’s modus operandi more evident than in the entryway. In this

112-Haven-RogersDesign-1016.indd 115

breezy corridor, tension is articulated in the juxtaposition of walnut columns and crisp lines, as well as a walnut staircase with stainless steel wires.

From this vantage point, the eye travels outside to Poised, by Joe Gitterman, a bronze free-form sculpture that seemingly floats between the pool and the garden. This artwork appears to encapsulate the notion of balance between man-made and natural beauty and validate Rogers-Bolton’s design doctrine, applied throughout the house with striking results. At every turn, the dwelling harmonizes with its tropical waterfront surroundings—elegant without being obtrusive and inviting without losing its sleek appeal. v

chic Calming, timeless interiors by Steven G. create an atmosphere of livable luxury at VistaBlue

BY LINDSAY LAMBERT DAY When it comes to designing elegant, inviting waterfront homes, Singer Island is familiar territory for Steven Gurowitz. For more than 10 years, the owner of the Pompano Beach–based Interiors by Steven G. has been creating dream properties for his discerning clients here, including Beach Front at Singer Island; One Singer Island; and 2700 North Ocean, now The Ritz-Carlton Residences at Singer Island, Palm Beach. But the celebrated South Florida interior designer says his latest project on the island—the VistaBlue condominium tower at 3730 North Ocean Drive, scheduled to begin welcoming residents in 2018—is something special.

“Do I think it will be the most beautiful project on Singer?” he asks.

“There’s no question in my mind.”

Gurowitz’s enthusiasm for VistaBlue is easy to understand. With its predominantly neutral color palette, minimalist lines, and mix of earthy, texture-rich materials, the 19-story, 58-unit structure is a picture of calm, luxurious coastal living. Gurowitz’s history with the island and understanding of what its residents and would-be buyers

Gurowitz tailored his design to meet the relaxed, albeit extravagant, tastes of would-be residents. want in a beachfront abode was key to conceptualizing the building’s interior public places and four model condos.

“Although Singer is ostensibly a very laid-back resort area, the people who go there have exquisite taste,” says Gurowitz. “They’re going there for that little bit of peace and quiet, that little touch of

116-Haven-stevenG-1016.indd 118

sand and water, but the design still needs to be five-star.”

To create an ambience of relaxed sophistication in VistaBlue’s public spaces, Gurowitz and his team utilized organic finishes, including linen, cotton velour (“It’s like butter, and it looks contemporary when the fabric is tightly woven,” he says), matte and highgloss wood, and leather. Porcelain, both beautiful and durable, is used for flooring in some spaces, thanks to its perpetual shine and resistance to chipping and staining. In some bedrooms, walls were upholstered “to add softness and to eat up extra sound,” says Gurowitz. To imbue contrast and drama to what he describes as a “soft contemporary” aesthetic, he and his team incorporated onyx feature walls that light up.

More than just an accent, lighting is a focal point throughout VistaBlue’s residential units, where Gurowitz’s team implemented LED recessed and pin spot fixtures, among other styles.

“With all-LED state-of-the-art lighting, you have no heat, your place is well-lit, and it’s all dimmable, so you can set your own tone,” Gurowitz says. “If you have a cocktail party, you can brighten the room. If you just want to sit and have a bottle of wine with your loved one, you can dim the lights and put on a Sinatra album—you’re made in the shade.”

Thoughtful lighting isn’t limited to VistaBlue’s residences, though. Gurowitz also made it an integral feature in the building’s show-stopping club room, which houses a floor-to-ceiling, wood-and-glass wine storage wall that holds 2,000 bottles. The club room is something “you would really only find in the most luxurious of places,” Gurowitz says.

In both residences and public spaces, “lighting takes design to a totally different place,” Gurowitz says. It also eliminates the need for floor and table lamps, which can quickly clutter an

otherwise clean space. “You have indirect, recessed lights that just make a space pop,” he adds. With an emphasis on personalization, all of the lighting fixtures in Gurowitz’s projects are custom designed and built by artisans around the world, largely in Italy.

Of course, such special fixtures deserve equally spectacular ceilings, another Steven G. signature element. In VistaBlue, wood and drywall drop ceilings add an architectural feature, “so you don’t walk in to see a flat ceiling.”

Overall, Gurowitz says his mission was to create a space with lasting and universal appeal. “When you walk through a home, the first question you have to ask yourself is, ‘Could I live here, and could I still be here 10 years from now?’” he asks. “Here, the answer is yes.”

Happily for residents of VistaBlue, timelessness and individual style aren’t mutually exclusive, thanks to the design firm’s

focus on tailoring its projects to each client’s tastes. “The toughest job for us is to design the units so that the buyer’s own identity is reflected,” says Gurowitz, adding that home buyers typically add color and personality to their space through furniture, art, soft goods, and greenery. For clients of Interiors by Steven G., that often means visiting the firm’s 100,000-square-foot Pompano Beach showroom to pick out everything from fabrics to furniture to area rugs. “When we sell somebody a product, it’s then taken out of our source library so that it’s not sold to anybody else,” he says. “We really do keep track of that.”

Despite all of the opportunities for customization that exist for buyers at VistaBlue, there is one accessory not found in Gurowitz’s source library that all residents will be able to enjoy: views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway.

“The ocean is a statement in and of itself,” says Gurowitz. “It’s artwork that changes every day. You have a rough day, you have a calm day. The wind blows in one direction one day, and the next,

116-Haven-stevenG-1016.indd 122

Gurowitz upholstered the walls in many of the bedrooms to add softness and create a quiet, restful space.

it blows in the other. Looking out, there are yachts, fishing vessels, sailboats. What we do in our planning is ensure that, however we lay out a room, the beautiful, ever-changing vista is never blocked.”

The same philosophy applies to scenes of the Intracoastal Waterway from the west-facing side of the condominium.

Though homeowners at VistaBlue have Mother Nature to thank for those dynamic water views, it’s easy to imagine that’s just the way Gurowitz would have designed them, too. v

1. The Pump: Many cycle addicts are drawn to stationary bikes for the low-impact, cardio-intensive workout. Flywheel ups the ante by adding a six-minute arm series using a padded weight bar, so those gams and glutes aren’t the only muscles working hard.

2. The Tone: Once riders hop off the bike, they can pop into the room next door for FlyBarre, a total-body sculpting class. This means you can tone head-to-toe on the mat and sweat on the bike, all under one roof and without multiple memberships.

3. The Competition: The TorqBoard RPM display encourages friendly competition and inspires camaraderie.

Herd mentality among this welcoming community of fitness enthusiasts motivates riders to push their limits.

Balance THE LABELING EFFECT Could creative food labeling revolutionize the way we think about vegetables? A recent Stanford University study found diners were up to 41 percent more likely to pile vegetables onto their plates when presented with an indulgent description, such as “slow-roasted, caramelized zucchini bites,” versus a healthy or plain label, even though the preparation remained the same.

Local chefs are catching on and offering veggie dishes that sound delicious, not depriving. Here are a few highlights: fire-roasted brussels sprouts with bacon aioli and candied pine nuts, Hullabaloo, West Palm Beach; wok-charred edamame beans with smoked salt and lime, Buddha Sky Bar, Delray Beach; blistered shishito peppers with roasted corn, goat-feta cheese, lemon aioli, and sumac, Seasons 52, Palm Beach Gardens, Boca Raton. —Dezi Bowman

Natural Touch Ingredients like tomatoes, mushrooms, and caviar can make for a fabulous dinner, but Judith Cruz-Burnstine is proving they can create an ideal formula for hair and skin, too. After a chemical-based treatment resulted in disaster for her curly locks, Cruz-Burnstine researched natural remedies and began creating products in her Wellington kitchen using components like aloe, rosemary water, and cacao. With the help of a green formulator, she developed Natural Kerr, a line of all-natural beauty products ranging from a peppermint-based heat protection spray to a Brazil nut–infused keratin replacement treatment that is free of harmful sulfates, parabens, and other chemicals. “This is natural chemistry at its best,” she says. “We are constantly developing alternative ways for women to expel chemical products from their lives.” Cruz-Burnstine opened Natural Kerr’s first storefront this summer in The Mall at Wellington Green. Beyond perusing the entire haircare line, customers can also try out the DIY natural body scrub and lotion bar, where they can mix salts, sugars, essential oils, and ingredients like eucalyptus and French lavender to create a customized product for glowing skin.

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN TO YOUR PATIENTS THE NATURE OF THEIR FACIAL LINES AND WRINKLES? I tend to categorize facial rhytids (or wrinkles) based on their cause, as this determines the type of treatment they require. Every line may have more than one cause so there could be more than one possible treatment. There are essentially 4 types of rhytids:

A. DYNAMIC RHYTIDS - these are caused by the repetitive action of the mimic muscles, they typically affect the upper face (the so-called 11s between the brows and the crows feet near the eyes) but can also be in the area around the mouth (smokers lines) B. TRANSITION RHYTIDS - these lines are typical for eras of transition between an area with more volume and an area with less volume - think of the “smile lines” for example - they are at the transition between the fuller cheek and the “skinnier” upper lip. They may also form at the border between the various fat pads of the face

C. ATROPHIC RHYTIDS - typically from sun damage with a decrease of the thickness of the skin. Think of the “wrinkly”, paper-thin skin of the lower eyelids or the cheeks

D. GRAVITATIONAL RHYTIDS - caused by sagging - example are the marionette lines by the corners of the mouth, caused by the downshift of the cheeks

Heart of

Glass

Invisible Quilt, Peter Symons

“I knew who I was this morning, but I’ve changed a few times since then,” muses Alice, the protagonist in Lewis Carroll’s 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass. The Cornell Art Museum at Old School Square challenges visitors to reimagine themselves and their surroundings in the new exhibition “Looking Glass,” on display beginning October 20. Each piece in this group show features reflective elements, ranging from computer screens to prisms and some glass, too. Peter Symons’ Invisible Quilt, for example, utilizes multiple mirrored panels connected via nylon ties to cast perplexing light patterns, while Heli by Chris Wood incorporates fabricated aluminum and dichroic glass to form a collage of colors. “Looking Glass” is the museum’s first exhibition of the season and marks the premiere of its recent renovations. The public can take in the nearly $1 million overhaul and get a sneak peek of the show at a Grand Reopening event October 19. While there, guests are encouraged to take “art selfies” alongside the works and share them on social media—reflections and all. Delray Beach (561-243-7922, oldschoolsquare.org) —Mary Murray

On October 27, they’ll bring their blend of country and rock influences to the Coral Sky Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach. The family group, composed of three brothers and a cousin, formed in 1999 but achieved international success in 2008 with their breakthrough album Only by the Night, which went on to earn three Grammy Awards. WALLS (an acronym for We Are Like Love Songs) is Kings of Leon’s first album in three years. But that hiatus didn’t hurt the band’s popularity as the record hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 following its release last fall.

INDIGO

INTRIGUE

The Time I, indigo linen, Fukumoto Shihoko

Starting in the sixth century, the Japanese began using natural ingredients to dye clothing. The most common color was an array of rich, deep indigos extracted from the leaves of an exotic plant known as tade ai. Farm workers began relying upon indigo dye, or aizome, specifically because it had antibacterial and insect-repellent effects, helping their clothes last longer. Progressively, this became a sustainable fashion trend throughout Japanese culture. The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens will explore the history and applications of aizome in “Out of the Blue: Japanese Indigo Textiles,” a new exhibition opening October 19. “Indigo is used in a lot of different parts of society,” says Tamara Joy, chief curator at the Morikami. “Not only is it beautiful, functional, and practical, it has a lot of strong symbolic associations.” Joy explains that indigo in a range of shades can be seen in many categories of garments, with several examples appearing in “Out of the Blue.” A circa-1920 fisherman’s festival jacket (pictured above right) boasts an indigo background decorated with cranes and turtles, representing longevity. Firemen wore dark blue coats with interior details of protective images, such as warriors and dragons.
