Home built by JMA (Jim Murphy and Associates); designed by Hart Howerton. Photo credit: Tim Maloney, Technical Imagery Studios. Extraordinary impressions of the old world were created in this Tuscan-style home. Stucco exterior walls and wrought iron fixtures give a handmade, rustic look that exemplifies the architectural style. The plaster interior walls, artfully crafted, embrace the home's romance with the past. Their surface is a blend of colors created on site with a wax patina applied to some of the walls. The remarkable feeling of elegant antiquity is aided by the home's floors, which were created from reclaimed wood. Our carpenters gave the large beams in the great room and kitchen a rustic radiance through modern distressing techniques.

To create a more usable living room for the lady of the house and her friends, as well as balancing the masculine, dark paneled study across the foyer, Pineapple House designers added a stained paneled wall around the fireplace. The wall of panels help to integrate the television into the formal space. A Bonisolli Photography

Renovation of this family room involved removing an existing window next to the fireplace to create an arched bookcase and arched entry to the library adjacent. Better seating arrangement allowed more seating and tv is not viewed from kitchen dining as well. photo b Peter Rymwid

Architect: Portuondo Perotti Architects Photography: Carlos Domenech “This is well detailed and consistent inside and out. It is a classic Mediterranean Revival in the Floridian tradition of Mizner.” This single-family residential home in Gables Estates, Coral Gables, Florida, successfully pays respect to the architecture of the Mediterranean and Renaissance Italian styles. From the use of courtyards to the high level of detailing, this project emphasizes the most picturesque and expressive qualities of these styles. The residence reflects the visions of two of Coral Gables’ first architects, who designed beautiful and timeless architecture in this garden city to become a lasting piece in the landscape. This project not only captures the breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay, but with timeless style and lush landscaping, it creates a centerpiece for the view from the bay to Coral Gables. The home is designed as a long gallery, with spaces connected by courtyards and public realms. Another large inspiration for this project was the idea of the garden and landscape. With Coral Gables as a garden city, landscape became an integral part of the conception and design. The durability of Marvin products, their ability to stand up to the South Florida climate, as well as the Marvin attention to detail and proportion, made them the perfect choice to employ in a project of such high standards. The range of products allowed the freedom of design to explore all possibilities and turn visions into reality. The result was a lasting piece of architecture that would reflect a level of detail in every part of its structure.

Breathtaking views of the incomparable Big Sur Coast, this classic Tuscan design of an Italian farmhouse, combined with a modern approach creates an ambiance of relaxed sophistication for this magnificent 95.73-acre, private coastal estate on California’s Coastal Ridge. Five-bedroom, 5.5-bath, 7,030 sq. ft. main house, and 864 sq. ft. caretaker house over 864 sq. ft. of garage and laundry facility. Commanding a ridge above the Pacific Ocean and Post Ranch Inn, this spectacular property has sweeping views of the California coastline and surrounding hills. “It’s as if a contemporary house were overlaid on a Tuscan farm-house ruin,” says decorator Craig Wright who created the interiors. The main residence was designed by renowned architect Mickey Muenning—the architect of Big Sur’s Post Ranch Inn, —who artfully combined the contemporary sensibility and the Tuscan vernacular, featuring vaulted ceilings, stained concrete floors, reclaimed Tuscan wood beams, antique Italian roof tiles and a stone tower. Beautifully designed for indoor/outdoor living; the grounds offer a plethora of comfortable and inviting places to lounge and enjoy the stunning views. No expense was spared in the construction of this exquisite estate.

Dave Allen created this table base from a pair of antique architectural pilaster capitals carved from Indiana limestone at the turn of the last century. These identical capitals were installed for nearly a century on a Manhattan public school that was demolished in the year 2000. He purchased them in New York from the demolition contractor. Now mounted back-to-back on a hidden steel frame, they have begun a new life as an elegant base for a dining or grand entry table. Shown herewith a 72” diameter top, it could just as easily accommodate an eight or nine foot long rectangular top. Glass top to your specifications included. The pilaster tops, visible through the glass, were intentionally left as found, with small wood inserts and attachment points from the original construction still visible. The carvings themselves are beautifully executed, a fine example of the work typically done by classically trained Italian immigrants who arrived in the US in the late 19th and early 20th century. I’m always amazed by the beauty and artistic balance of these old pieces, carved as they were by everyday craftsmen, who worked over the course of a lifetime with hammer and chisel, skillfully producing an art now mostly lost to us.
