William T. Georgis Transforms a Waterfront Manse

August 9, 2024

Tasked by longtime clients with a speedy redo of a waterfront residence, the architect and designer delivers elevated, artful rooms infused with a spirited vibe.

It takes a nimble design imagination to pull off a family-home makeover that melds the Latin verve of Miami, mambo, and the lush gardens of Roberto Burle Marx with impeccable craftsmanship and ultrarefined materials, not to mention a selection of wryly subversive art. For architect and designer William T. Georgis, a virtuoso at integrating the offbeat and the elevated into unforgettable interiors, bringing all of those elements together “in a heady soup,” as he puts it, was right in his wheelhouse.
