Kelly Klein’s Palm Beach Home

I’m just lov­ing the neu­tral palette of Kelly Klein’s Palm Beach home.  The wood against white has a sur­pris­ing calm­ing effect and adds  just the right amount of tex­ture to the over­all  min­i­mal­ist style.

Kelly was wife to Calvin Klein, but the two divorced in 2006.  She is a noted pho­tog­ra­pher and author (her sixth book, Pools: Reflec­tions, a sequel to the 1992 best­seller Pools, will be pub­lished by Riz­zoli next month). Work­ing with David Pis­cuskas of 1100 Archi­tect, Kelly built an inti­mate get­away that’s a per­fect fit for her bliss­ful new life.

“I wanted some­thing a lit­tle Neu­tra, a lit­tle Ando, a lit­tle Bauhaus–y.  I knew in my mind how I wanted to live here—in an indoor-outdoor house, enjoy­ing the breeze off the water, with the fam­ily always together,” Klein says. “I find that in big houses every­body is always in a dif­fer­ent room, no one can find each other. I was going to build a really com­pact house. I call the four bed­rooms my hotel rooms.”
