We are honored that the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art’s Florida chapter has honored this new house in Jupiter Island that we designed for longtime clients with an Addison Mizner Award for residential architecture. The award ceremony was held on February 8, 2020 at the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach.
Luxe magazine featured the house in their March issue, sharing the story behind the design, which was inspired by the casual elegance of Anglo-Caribbean architecture, with a sense of understatement, family tradition, and the clients’ vibrant color sense.

Featured on AD’s New Podcast “AD Aesthete”
Gil had a chance to chat about the marriage of architecture and landscape recently when he and longtime collaborator, landscape designer Debby Nevins, were interviewed by Mitchell Owens on AD’s new podcast “AD Aesthete.” Almost like a dinner table conversation about process and some of their favorite collaborations, they discussed everything from the way a view gets revealed to the sculptural role of trees, and why their clients have made all the difference in their work together.
