Full-length floor-to-ceiling glass walls provide views of Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach and the Port of Miami. Bay views informed the apartment's color palette as well as accessory selection.

A custom-crafted shelving unit, designed to match the gray oak entertainment cabinet beneath it, houses a 43-inch plasma TV, earthenware branch vases designed by potters Gerhard Swart and Anthony Harris, and faux coral.

Although sleek and contemporary, the leather section, with retractable head rests, offers a soft spot to relax and unwind. "The sectional was the first piece we all decided on," says Lindsay. "This set the tone for where we were going to go with the rest of the apartment."

"In modern design I love all the sleek whites, gray tones and high-polish chromes, but it can fall a little flat without an accent or two," says Lindsay. "The throw pillows were just enough splash of color to break up the white and give some additional interest to the sectional. They were also a great way to bring in the natural outdoor color palette of aquas and greens indoors."
