Florida Design
“Architect Max Strang mastered the art of virtual collaboration years ago. And with sophisticated clients who maintain other homes in New York City and Switzerland, building their new winter residence in Lake Wales, in the heart of Florida, would involve long-distance communication between his team, who would design all interior and exterior architecture, and Francesca Poletti of StudioFri in Milan, who would envision and import all of the furnishings. Sound complicated? According to Strang, the synthesis of soft textures and strong, industrial surfaces melded the contemporary structure into an amalgam that was both Floridian and European urbane. Which is to say that the 5,500-square-foot home did not fit into the expected profile of other homes in exclusive Mountain Lake Estates.”
