Villa Aralia
- Type Of Projects : Comercial, Palm Beach, Florida
- Finished : February
- Scope : Restoration, Interior Design
Located in historic Old Las Palmas, this restored 1960s residence, originally designed by Arthur Elrod, reflects the defining principles of mid-century desert architecture. The exterior is characterized by rhythmic brise-soleil screens, a flat roofline, and minimalist detailing. Floor-to- ceiling glass blurs the line between indoors and out, framing views of the era-inspired pool and private courtyards, and embodying the Palm Springs ideal of indoor-outdoor living.
We reimagined this Hollywood Regency residence with the goal of returning it to its mid-century roots while integrating contemporary functionality. The interior layout was reconfigured to improve circulation and spatial clarity, establishing a strong axis between private
quarters and shared living spaces. Original features, including white pecky cedar paneling and travertine flooring, were preserved and
extended into the new additions.
About this project
The grandeur of this mansion is found not only in its scale, but in the obsessive attention to detail that defines every inch. Every miter joint, every hand-selected piece of hardware, and every transition between marble and wood was meticulously planned and executed with millimeter precision.
The challenge was monumental: how to honor the historic soul of an iconic mansion without sacrificing 21st-century comfort. The answer was a delicate balance. We meticulously preserved and restored the original facade and interior woodwork while seamlessly integrating state-of-the-art smart home systems, cutting-edge lighting, and superior energy efficiency. The result is a home that breathes history but lives firmly in the present.
The deepest luxury is often that which is unseen. Beyond the high-gloss finishes and sumptuous textiles lies an infrastructure of superior engineering. We replaced and modernized all electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems to the highest industry standards. This dedication to “invisible” structural quality ensures the mansion’s beauty is not skin-deep, but built on a foundation of excellence, safety, and reliability for generations to come.
