Joelle Uzyel takes Palm Beach projects as a regular market. Oceanfront estates and landmarked Mizner and Fatio houses on the island, Manalapan, and Jupiter Island. Interiors specified for salt, sun, and town review. Design-build from the Beverly Hills studio with site visits. $250M+ portfolio.
The Direct Answer
Hiring an interior designer in Palm Beach is a landmarks job and a climate job. Mizner and Fatio houses go through the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Architectural Commission. Salt, sun, and hurricane exposure decide the materials. Full projects at this level typically run $500K to $5M and up. The practice is based in Beverly Hills and already runs South Florida work with site visits and local vendors.
This Market
The architecture is not Miami and it is not Beverly Hills. The Estate Section is ocean-to-lake volume and, often, a landmarked public face. The North End is quieter, more garden, more family. Manalapan is water on both sides. Jupiter Island is privacy first. A condominium on the ocean is a different job again: association rules, impact glass, and a plan that has to live in a building it does not control.
The town writes part of the drawing set. Exterior work on a landmarked house needs approval before demolition looks clever. Indoor-outdoor living is the plan, not a terrace added later. Materials have to take salt and August sun without looking tired by year three.
The first conversation belongs with the designer, before a contractor prices a facade the Architectural Commission will send back.
Ocean-to-lake estates on the island, many of them landmarked Mizner and Fatio houses. Restoration that respects the architecture and interiors that read current without fighting the home.
The quieter stretch of the island, walled gardens and traditional homes set back from the ocean. Rooms built for family and for entertaining, warm rather than formal.
Rare ocean-to-Intracoastal lots just south of the island. Wide, private plans where the water sits on both sides and the interior has to hold its own against it.
One of the most private addresses on the coast. Restrained palettes, materials chosen to age well by the water, and finishes that stay quiet.
Yes. The practice is based in Beverly Hills with an active project presence in South Florida. Florida work includes waterfront residences in Miami Beach and Coconut Grove, and the studio takes on projects in Palm Beach, Manalapan, and Jupiter Island. All design work is managed from the Beverly Hills studio with site visits and established South Florida vendor relationships.
The Estate Section and North End on the island, plus Manalapan, Gulf Stream, Jupiter Island, and Palm Beach Gardens. The practice takes on projects throughout the Palm Beach area when the scope and the client are the right fit.
In this market, full home projects at this level typically cost $500K to $5M and up. Kitchens commonly run $150K and up and bathrooms $75K and up at this standard of finish. Design fees are scope-based and discussed at the first consultation.
Oceanfront construction carries its own rules, from impact-rated glass and coastal material performance to town approvals. The same design-build model that runs in Beverly Hills applies here. One firm holds the design and the build together, which keeps the process accountable to budget and timeline.
Palm Beach protects its Mizner and Fatio houses through the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Architectural Commission. Exterior work on a landmarked home needs approval, and the design phase includes the documentation those boards require, with construction coordinated by contractors who know the town's rules.
Yes. Salt air, humidity, sun, and hurricane exposure change what performs. Stone, metals, woods, and fabrics are selected to hold up on the water, not just to photograph well on day one.
Both. The practice takes on oceanfront condominium residences as well as single-family estates and full renovations on the island and along the coast.
