Head South to this Florida Retreat

The progression of spaces is very key in how the interior layout of the house was approached. Edison wanted strong contrast in light between connecting spaces to highlight the progression from one space to another. For example, one enters the home through the dark paneled, espresso brown stained foyer, dominated by a large chromatic painting by Canadian artist Joseph Drapell. Entering the great room, which is painted in the signature candle wax coloured white with pale grey accented ceiling panels, you then move again from the great room into the wings, where the transitional space is again paneled out in the espresso brown before finally entering the adjacent rooms. “Dark-Light-Dark-Light” became the rhyme of the house.
