Unlike a lot of modern homes, this one has incredible soul

The Intracoastal Waterway became the perfect place to relocate with breathtaking views that set the stage for one couple’s lifestyle usually found only in dreams. Beginning with a waterfront lot, interior designers Brett Sugerman and Giselle Loor Sugerman joined forces with architect Randall Stofft to create a stellar 9,000-square-foot home that delivers ultimate indoor and outdoor entertaining, along with the most dynamic aesthetics. “Although the couple remained involved throughout, they had a lot of faith in us,” Loor says. “After a strong interview, they let us fly.”

Every aspect of the home offers unique characteristics that distinguish it from the typical South Florida contemporary style. It’s straight lines and organic elements flow throughout. “The client wanted a modern home; however, it had to be warm and unique,” Stofft says. To that point, mahogany tongue-and-groove planks are set beneath all the soffits to warm the coolness of the gray stucco exterior and smoky glass railings that encase the upper balconies. The sophistication of sandblasted colonial white marble adds texture to the exterior, while gradated gray elements style the patio and detached loggia.
