FROM ITALY, WITH LOVE
Architect Krsto Stamatovski stayedtrue to the simplistic lines of anItalian villa. Sloped rooflines arereminiscent of a hillside, while thesymmetry of arches and columnslend a classic, balanced feel.

The clubroom’s custom-designed bar is accentedwith leaded-glass panels from McMow Art Glass. ASterling billiard table from Boynton Billiards sparksfriendly competition, illuminated by a light fixturefrom Fine Art Lamps. A sofa covered in HighlandCourt chenille from Duralee anchors the seatingarea over an area rug from Stanton Carpet.
WHEN IT’S LOVE, YOU JUST KNOW. THAT WAS THE CASEwhen the lady of this particular house met her husband; she knew from their firstdate that she would marry him. The same happened when she first laid eyes onthis magnificent Fort Lauderdale, Fla., property overlooking Sunrise Bay. Andalthough at the time, only a third of a structure stood upon it and the lawn wasovergrown, she saw its potential and fell head over heels. Despite her husbanddeclaring her “a bit crazy” (they’d nearly completed the final work on their currentresidence several blocks away), she simply knew she had to live there.
Architect Krsto Stamatovski joined interior designers Susan Connor, JulieHarris and Marisa Courson, who the couple had already enlisted for their previousresidence, and the team set to work on creating a home that would celebrate thecouple’s ardor for villas along the Italian countryside. “We have an appreciation formany things beautiful, but chose the Italian feel because it’s what we’re comfortablewith,” says the wife, who frequently travels to Italy with her Roman husband.
Pinpointing a design direction was easy: they wanted an Old World feel. Butre-interpreting it for modern-day living presented a challenge. “They desired a

home that was influenced by thepast without pretending to recreateit,” Stamatovski says. To ensure thehome’s authenticity, the architectworked strictly with natural materials,such as stone for the balustrades,windowsills and surrounds, andhandmade clay tiles for the roof.
And then, just as the main housewas nearing completion, the ownersacquired the adjoining property —and their house went from stately tosprawling, with an additional area thatallocates a space to entertain guests.An enormous clubroom features richfabrics and neutral colors, enablingfamily and friends to gather in arefined, comfortable setting.

Here, Connor draped the ceiling in gold-colored silk and wrapped formal cornices indamask, adding swags, jabots and a tassel fringe for softness. Leather-upholstered panelson the headboard wall create a more masculine focal point. Open the hand-carvedmahogany doors leading to the master bath and it’s like stumbling upon a treasure trove.Crema marfil marble glosses the floors and walls, while the barrel ceiling gleams withbronzed faux finish. Delicate light fixtures augment the room’s freestanding copper tub.
The favorite part of the family compound isits glorious outdoor loggia, which seamlesslyconnects the two wings. “We essentially liveoutdoors,” the owner says. “The kids have ablast out on the bay, friends pull up with theirboats … we don’t really ever like to leave!”
allow for fun and games. “We softened some of the elements of a European villa to embody thelivability of a modern American home,” Connor says. Harris and Courson introduce a rusticfeel with a maple wood-beamed ceiling with a walnut stain, faux-painted with scrollwork.
Over in the main wing, a splendorous shift occurs. “The master suite serves as an opulentsanctuary apart from the rest of the home,” says Connor, whose generous use of golden-toned fabrics makes this entire master bedroom appear dusted with the precious metal.

Outside, the transition iseffortless. “We followed ourconcept of comfortable, livablefurnishings from the interior tooutdoors,” Connor says of theloggia, which is like a livingroom with the added benefit ofwater and sky. “We continuedmany of the same materialsfrom the interior, like the stoneflooring and beamed ceilings,and let the architecture and viewsdo the rest,” Harris elaborates.
Classic architecture, the useof authentic materials and theowners’ relaxed attitude can onlymean this house will maturegracefully, and keep gettingbetter as time goes by. Kind ofreminds us of love itself.
