The number of professionals it took to accomplish the home’s madcap transformation was stagging. Home builders Joey Newman had two full teams working around the clock to ensure the project would be completed by the owners’ arrival. “I look back and still don’t know how we did it,” declares Joey. “We had a day crew and a night crew in place for the duration of the renovation”Joey adds, “It felt rather like going through a hurricane! Paloma Teppa and Yair Marcoschamer were tapped by the design team to introduce interior floral and plant elements, and to implement the landscaping. They worked with landscape designer Alex Rodriquez to envision the exterior gardens. “Instead of small gestures we chose broad strokes with our planting,” Rodriquez explains, noting his nod towards the modernist-inspired design scheme and the couple’s desire for lowmaintenace, verdant landscape. Every detail was in place before the new homeowners crossed the threshold the mindful result, says the wife, is wonderful manifestation of modern elegance. And she isn’t shy about admitting how thrilled they are with the outcome. “I opened the door and started to cry!” She says. “There wasn’t one thing I disapproved of; I call that a dream!” INTERIOR DESIGN: DKOR Interiors Team DKOR Interiors, Inc.
