Twist on French Architecture Transforms Designer's Home
A trip to Paris influenced designer Bridgette Caporaso’s renovation of her own home – complete with an extensive amount of natural stone used in unique and customized ways
A stunning transformation was achieved for a private residence in Boca Raton, FL, with customized pieces of French limestone. Designer Bridgette Caporaso, founder and owner of Sketch Design Studio, also in Boca Raton, purchased the home with her husband and transformed it with influences of Parisian architecture after a visit to Paris. Maintaining a strong line of communication between the stonemason and fabricator resulted in the designer’s vision coming to life.
"Fun fact, it's actually our home," said Caporaso. "When we purchased the house, it looked completely different. We did a full-scale remodel. It was very much like it tried to have a Tuscan flare to it, but the way South Florida did Tuscan did not look good. There was a lot of stucco, brown, yellow and the roof lines weren't nice."
