Oceanfront Tranquility

Back

Louis Shuster of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is known for the way his pared-down interiors make already large spaces look endless.

In this remodeled oceanfront condominium, full slabs and twenty-inch honed-and-filled squares of honey-beige Navona Travertine, sleekly polished black granite and a neutral color scheme, create a sense of tranquility that seems to extend beyond the horizon.

The dramatic contrast established by the light travertine and dark granite is echoed in all other furnishings.
