We sat down with Michelle Waugh, founder of Michelle Waugh Interiors, a Greenwich, Connecticut-based design studio known for its quiet distinction, spaces shaped by natural materials, and a timeless sense of ease.

Over-sized furniture, a seemingly endless array of bold, brightly colored accents, and large logoed pieces created the perception of status, whilst actually leaving the space feeling hollow and impersonal. How

In Miami, where architecture performs against a horizon of glass and water, there is another form of authorship at work. It does not announce itself in silhouette, but in discipline. In the alignment of stone, the calibration of light, the seamless continuity of surfaces that appear inevitable. This is the territory of Navicon Construction and its co-founder, Antonio Torres Betancourt, a builder whose work exists at the intersection of architecture and execution.

In Miami, spring marks the return of outdoor living. As temperatures become more comfortable, homeowners begin using terraces, gardens, and rooftop decks more frequently.

Stainless steel pool with swim up bar, swim spa sy
