On Everglades Island, a slender stretch of land just off Palm Beach, sits I1 Cortile - a residence that embraces the Mediterranean Revival tradition for which the island is known.

Inspired by the work of architect George Washington Smith in Montecito, the home was designed in collaboration with interior designer Betsy Shiverick and architect Richard Sammons.

Perched above Dior’s Rodeo Drive boutique, Monsieur Dior by @dominiquecrenn opened last fall as an intimate Michelin-starred rooftop dining room. Designed by Peter Marino, the space blends Dior Home accoutrements with refined cuisine. A welcome treat during my brief layover to NZ ✈️🥂

Through double doors at Parterre, the house reveals itself slowly - stone underfoot, hand-finished millwork, and light that settles in as if it’s always belonged.
Nothing rushed. Nothing trendy. Just rooms designed to endure💫🥀
