Back to school. Back to work. Back to The Boca Raton’s new Beach Club? I wish. Especially after revisiting my stay for this issue’s Getaway (p. 18). When I escaped there in February—fleeing a brutally frosty forecast—I expected 80-degree weather, a private beach and some alone time on a lounger. What I didn’t expect was how good it would look. The fully refreshed hotel is contemporary and cool, with bright spaces awash in marble, cerused oak and crisp whites trimmed in Aperol orange. It’s airy and indulgent, ideal for relaxation.
It’s also a reminder of the power of intentional design: how a clear vision, executed through countless details and thoughtful revisions, can create spaces that feel cohesive, functional and, above all, stylish. That sensibility runs through this issue. Dana Ferraro’s family-forward Regency reinterpretation (p. 30) balances glamour with everyday life; Jenny Wolf’s coastal new build (p. 40) somehow feels like it’s been collecting charm and character for decades; and Lorenza Avila’s deeply personal, self-crafted sanctuary (p. 52) proves that patience and trust in one’s instincts can result in profoundly meaningful design. Each story celebrates the translation of concept into beautifully lived-in reality.
That same spirit of vision and craft extends to our A-List Awards (p. 66), where the brightest talents in our design community are honored. From architects and designers to builders and landscape professionals, the finalists showcase creativity, skill and innovation at the highest level. Join us at The Village in Stamford on September 9th as we toast the finalists, reveal the winners and celebrate a night dedicated to design at its very best. We hope to see you there!
