When Lee Mindel looks out from his condo's balcony in
Surfside, Florida, which covers almost as much square
footage as the distinctive apartment within, he doesn't just
see the Atlantic Ocean, but an affinity for an element that
has become one of his calling cards as an architect and
designer. "I'm not an astrology person," says Mindel, "but I am
a Cancer, which I'm told is a water sign. People probably have
a more intimate relationship with water than anything else."
Architect Lee Mindel has
created interiors and
homes from the Hamptons to
Martha's Vineyard. But the
shores of South Florida hold
a special allure for him.
