Derek and Lisa Vander Ploeg, an architect and interior designer who head the prominent Boca Raton firms of Vander Ploeg & Associates and its complement, VPA Interior Design, have listed "Dos Lunas," their Boca Raton estate, for $4.875 million. The estate was painstakingly created as a labor of love, this striking masterwork draws its inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright, who espoused the philosophy of organic architecture designed as a cohesive whole in harmony with the natural environment. With no detail overlooked and no expense spared, the estate was completed in 2006 after a three-year design and construction process. "Dos Lunas" takes shape in a sublime architectural scheme echoing the moon, which continues outdoors in the curves of the tiered waterview terraces, infinity-edge pool, and even the dock on the Intracoastal Waterway. The estate is a quiet cul-du-sac located on a point on the Intracoastal Waterway with over 125' of waterfront.
Dos Lunas was built with a blend of simplicity and richness, artistry and function, openness and shelter, the overall effect sets a calm Zen-like mood throughout. The home offers 4 bedrooms and 6 full bathrooms spanning 7,062 SF. Almost all of the design elements have been custom-crafted for the residence including the furnishings, moldings, and doors with even the staircase and fireplaces fashioned as unique sculptural works of art. Well-flowing living spaces are featured along with a chef's dream kitchen and a serene master suite ensconced in a private wing. The home was designed to connect the indoors and outdoors with Noce travertine floors and the beach-hued sandstone wall tiles that adorn the interior living areas and the façade. Outside features elegant gardens, infinity pool, and 125' of waterfront.
898 Berkeley St., Boca Raton, FL is currently listed for $4,875,000 with Jeff Wilson of Douglas Elliman.
