HERE'S THE PLAN
Modernism is not the first word that comes to mind when you think of the work of Robert A.M. Stern. The architectural titan has built his reputation as a classicist whose residential design skews decidedly traditional. But it's worth remembering that Stern, a former dean of the Yale School of Architecture, was, in the 1970s and '80s, a pioneer of postmodernism, a style that melded classical elements with contemporary flair. What has linked every one of his projects is an intimate understanding of visual culture through time.
A Betty Blayton artwork hangs in the dressing area of the guest suite. 1930s stools by André Arbus; walls clad in bleached walnut.
In an ocean-facing guestroom, the club chair and ottoman are by Anthony Lawrence-Belfair. Bed linens by C&C Milano; 1950s Italian chandelier; curtain fabric by Kravet; rug by Doris Leslie Blau.
A pavilion faces a swimming pool in reclaimed limestone. Chairs by Walters Wicker; tables by Harbour.
