downsizing does not diminish detail as interior designer Joe Fava and his team skillfully demonstrate with this stunning design of a bright, coastal 3,700-square-foot condominium. Boasting exquisite finishes, this home sits on the border of Jupiter and West Palm Beach, Fla. Ready to step away from maintaining a larger home, Fava’s client was looking for a manageable, lock-and-go residence and she fell in love with the condo’s stunning Intracoastal water views. With this new opportunity to completely change her design aesthetic, the homeowner commissioned Fava to turn her vision of a serene, ethereal space into a reality.
With a vision for the unique, Fava designed each room to spotlight one statement piece with the rest of the design elements as supporting actors there to elevate the space. In the foyer, a crystal ribbon chandelier announces entry to the main social areas. Drawing the eye in, a striking fireplace enveloped in a dyed sage green, exotic goatskin finish provides texture to the neutral living area. “The challenge when working with a neutral palette is finding a way to give depth to the room, so I mix textures to create interest,” the designer says.
Plush white sofas shape a hearthside setting, while seafoam velvet chairs and silk green accent pillows add a subtle hint of color. The dramatic circular ceiling detail that glows with LED lighting is one of Fava’s favorite elements.
The kitchen’s island, made from two large slabs of semi precious quartz, complements the mother-of-pearl backsplash. Soft hues continue into the dining area, where the curvilinear shape of the table mimics the circular ceiling. An Ironies chandelier of resin flowers casts circles of light around the space.
In the study, walnut wood panels with stainless steel metal accents comes complete with a secret door that opens to reveal an organized storage space. An original Chagall, the only work of art the client brought from her previous home, delicately corners the space above the Judith Norman beige leather lounge chair. Round LED pendants hang asymmetrically above the desk, providing contrast to the linear design of the wood wall.
The neutral color palette continues into the guest room where Fava’s goal was to create a calm sanctuary. The bed, upholstered in a woven textured fabric, was custom designed for the space. Creating a sophisticated sense of balance, the bedside tables are finished in a combination of cerused oak and chrome, and topped with lamps of porcelain with a crackle finish. Placed on either side of the bed, custom mirrors add a reflective quality, while the vibrant butterfly diptych eases the rest of the room into a peaceful serenity.
