Island Cove Residence

Inspired by the historic waterfront palazzi along the meandering canals of Venice, this residence is a direct reflection of the owner’s fervor for Italy’s Floating City and a repository for their collection of furniture, art, and architectural antiques. Simple building forms wrap the site to form private courts, large entertaining spaces, and intimate gardens. Exquisite plaster finishes, European hardwood windows, hand hewn stone, Venetian light fixtures, and Italian mosaics transport guests to another time and place, while modern conveniences, including an infinity pool, outdoor kitchen, and dual boat slips, evince its modern setting.
