This villa is set in the luscious South Florida vegetation of Coconut Grove, south of Miami. The client loved the style of Tuscan villas, and they became the inspiration for the design of this classical home. The villa’s main body consists of a succession of entertainment spaces that begins with a two-storey, barrel-vaulted foyer. Through a series of five arches the foyer flows into an expansive living room with a view of the gardens, fountains and swimming pool. The dining room and kitchen are open from one side of this area, and the library, billiard room and movie theatre are on the opposite side. Guests are accommodated in the west wing of the villa, and the east wing houses a six-car garage and servants’ quarters. The owner’s suites on the second floor are extensive and very private.
