This Australian-inspired new construction was a successful collaboration between homeowner, architect, designer and builder. The home features a Henrybuilt kitchen, butler's pantry, private home office, guest suite, master suite, entry foyer with concealed entrances to the powder bathroom and coat closet, hidden play loft, and full front and back landscaping with swimming pool and pool house/ADU.

The sophisticated color story in the main rooms; light grey, feeds the metal element and is an elegant backdrop to the wood element blues and greens in the living room furnishings, where blue plays a dominant role in the artwork.

This 28,0000-square-foot, 11-bedroom luxury estate sits atop a manmade beach bordered by six acres of canals and lakes. The main house and detached guest casitas blend a light-color palette with rich wood accents—white walls, white marble floors with walnut inlays, and stained Douglas fir ceilings. Structural steel allows the vaulted ceilings to peak at 37 feet. Glass pocket doors provide uninterrupted access to outdoor living areas which include an outdoor dining table, two outdoor bars, a firepit bordered by an infinity edge pool, golf course, tennis courts and more. Construction on this 37 acre project was completed in just under a year.

The Living Room went virtually unused for years so we made two areas for entertaining and family use. This side is the cocktail gathering area with 6 swivel chairs around a leather ottoman. The bar, with up-lit shelves and backlit textured glass is flanked by operable walnut and frosted glass doors. The inset panels are also backlit and can be dimmed in the evening to create a soft glow. David O. Marlow
