An elegant 1950s house was doubled in size in Coral Gables, Florida by Kat Barrow-Horth of Robin Rile Fine Art working with Dorlom Construction (www.dorlom.com) and Architect Rafael Portuondo (www.portuondo-perotti.com). The owners wanted light and airy elegance, with Asian elements. They required easy-to-clean fabrics, as they have young children, but wanted be certain the house had a grown-up feel. The soothing palette of cream, white, celadon, apricot, champagne, coral and charcoal gray were taken throughout the house. The Family Room, Master Bedroom, Master Bathroom and Master closet are all new construction, as is the new pool area and landscaping.
