The pendant light fixtures
are made out of capiz
shells, and the artwork
over the tub is made up of
actual African headdresses.

Floor-to-ceiling windows
give the vanities, which
feature suspended mirrors,
a floating appearance. The
freestanding tub features a
caramel-colred teak deck
and backdrop, which is a
tie-over to the wood tones
used in the kitchen.

Marc-Michaels Interior Design recently designed an eye-catching, contemporary spec home in Boca Raton, Fla. The overall feel of the house -
programmed by builder Mark Pulte with Mark Timothy Inc. Luxury Homes,
who is in tune with the market needs of all areas in south Florida - can
best be described as barefoot elegance with an organic feeling.
"My team and I pulled together a mood and tone presentation for
the design of the home, and Pulte provided feedback," said Kathryn Dunagan, director of production at Marc-Michaels. "We used an open floor
plan with the interior and exterior spaces flowing together cohesively and
added modern details."
The spec home took on a more modern look than a lot of the builder's
other homes in the area, but the goal was to still keep it warm and inviting.
This was achieved with floor-to-ceiling windows placed throughout the
home to create an open-volume space and a color palette inspired by
the sunset and nearby ocean - splashes of turquoise and orange.
"The aesthetic was based on textural components in a neutral palette,
and the colorations of the wood and stones we used added to the underlying warmth," said Dunagan. "It was also critical to have a continuing
theme with the materials through each space because you can see so
much of the house from every room."

Master Bath Design
"The master bedroom closet is next to the master bath, so we connected
these spaces with a glass wall and sliding doors," said Rachel Jones, who
completed the interior architecture of the home. "Floor-to-ceiling windows

give the vanities, which feature suspended mirrors, a floating appearance."
The lacquered bamboo and white finish of the closet carries through
to the materials used for the vanities, and the master bath's central feature
is the freestanding tub with a caramel-colored teak deck and backdrop,
which is a tie-over to the wood tones used for the kitchen cabinetry.The allglass shower with a pebble floor - complete with a rainhead, showerhead
and thermostatic valves - opens up to the dressing room. The wall and
floor tile is a vein-cut travertine.
"The materials we used for the bathroom are simple and neutral," said
Courtney Jacobus, residential designer at Marc-Michaels. "We wanted to
focus more on the fixtures and furnishings for the wow factor."
The pendant lighting fixtures are made out of capiz shells, and the
artwork over the tub is made up of actual African headdresses.

Kitchen Design
While the kitchen is located in the back end of the house near the
dining room, it is open to most of the other rooms. It features an acrylic
breakfast bar with vein-cut travertine that separates the kitchen from the
dining room, while still creating an open feel. The kitchen also features a
central island with a Caesarstone waterfall edge detail.
A serene blue glass backsplash - what Jacobus calls an unexpected
subtle moment - is centered by a stainless steel hood and is flanked by
floating cherry cabinets on both sides. The other main wall in the kitchen
features an open, floating shelving unit so as not to block the view or light
from the large windows also on that wall but provides necessary storage.
