Palm Beach Social Diary: Mizner makeovers
With few Addison Mizner-designed houses remaining in Palm Beach in some semblance of their original condition, this week I took advantage of the opportunity to visit Villa dei Fiori (Addison Mizner, 1921) where its possible restoration/renovation was the subject of an imaginative presentation by interior designer Campion Platt and landscape designer Keith Williams, under the aegis of the Coudert Institute. Since its completion last month, I have taken several strolls to appreciate the rejuvenation of Memorial Fountain and Park at Town Square, a showcase for architect Addison Mizner’s eclectic design talents. Despite the most unseasonable Florida weather, on one recent day I trekked to the wetlands to make note of this season’s bird life, minutes before the crowds converged.

Editor At Large: HoloLens holds three-dimensional potential for designers
What if you could rouse a rendering to life, from the flatness of two dimensions to the realism of three? Mixed reality—a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image onto a user’s view of reality, creating a hybrid world where real and holographic items are, well, mixed—isn’t merely the territory of techies, gamers and software engineers. It’s also an innovation that may hold ample, if yet untapped, potential for interior designers. The Microsoft HoloLens, which uses lenses to project holograms onto the viewer’s environment, is now being applied to architecture and construction, with some interesting implications for interior design.

Campion Platt’s Journey: Dark to Light

It’s that time of year again: Dusk starts to fall at 4:30 P.M., and by 5 P.M., it’s totally dark outside. The Turks have a name and a holiday for it: Nardoqan. It’s a celebration of the deliverance to light from darkness.

He calls it the “Therapist’s Office.”
