San Francisco based Orlando Diaz-Azcuy s mastery of the home interior has made him one of America s most renowned designers. His elegantly composed rooms speak volumes for his spare, intelligent, and disciplined touch. His interiors located in Miami and New York as well as San Francisco combine a modernist approach of architecturally clean lines and urbane sensibility with smart flashes of bold colour or a pedigreed period statement piece to balance a curated look. Regarded by professionals as a dean of interior design and a pioneer of minimalist design since the early 1980s, Diaz-Azcuy has been an epic influence to the worlds of interior architecture and design.
No typology lends itself more naturally to Juan Montoya s creative impulses than tropical residences. There is such a sense of appropriateness to place in the architecture and interiors that our assumption that the designer s stylistic affinity is somehow inborn becomes inescapable. In this book, the reader will visit Montoya-designed residences that occupy ravishing sites in Punta Mita (Mexico), Cap Cana (Dominican Republic), Miami Beach, Fisher Island, and other idyllic oceanfront locales. As much as these homes are escapist fantasias, they are also inextricably rooted to their geographic location and their regional culture. And while their sense of luxury is palpable, so is their lack of pretension, the practicality that makes them functional for the families who reside there, and their resilience to the natural conditions in which they are found. Luxuriate in open-air pavilions with endless views of sea and sand, on sweeping terraces with glimmering pools and dramatic sunsets, and in sumptuous interiors with blue-and-white tiles, intricate beadwork, global textiles, and thatched roofs. This book is a must-have for interior designers, owners or potential buyers of seaside property, and armchair travellers who relish an escape to paradise.
