After beginning her design career in the world of custom kitchen and bath remodeling, Bridgette Caporaso, principal designer of Sketch. a design studio located in Boca Raton Florida, didn’t want to be limited to designing these two spaces alone, especially while seeing residential floor plans trend more and more towards open-concept living. She watched clients transform cook spaces that were connected to other large common areas in their homes and saw a need for connecting the attention to detail of a kitchen and bath designer who knows how to create custom cabinetry and millwork with a more traditional interior design firm that could ensure a cohesive, intentional aesthetic throughout the entire home with the same level of care. Sketch. a design studio was born in 2013 and since then, craftsmanship has been at the heart of everything she touches.

The company has since expanded through the years to include a woodworking studio, and Caporaso has recently acquired an 80,000 square-foot building that will soon be transformed into a lifestyle-centric showroom which incorporates custom lighting and furniture that is sure to be an invaluable (and convenient) resource for both Caporaso’s residential clients and others in the industry.

“We want to continue to bring our expertise and guidance in new ways, because our clients come here for that — they’re looking for us to help them navigate this vast landscape of the design and construction worlds,” says Caporaso. “I find the best way to do so is by having my finger on the pulse of all of the things that matter to the homeowners.”

One of the designer’s latest projects encompasses all the different facets of Sketch. a design studio, as it’s a new-build project in Boca Raton’s highly sought-after enclave of Le Lac. Spread acrosss two-and-a-half acres, Caporaso has not only tackled the home’s interiors, but has also worked closely with an architecture and landscaping firm to create the ultimate retreat for its owners.

“We are seeing a major shift in the landscape here as we’ve had so many transplants move from up north in the past few years, so I wanted to do something a little more shocking.”

Caporaso has imagined a striking modern Tudor-style home with a strong emphasis on architecture that could feel equally at home in Sun Valley as it does in South Florida. The home is an entertainer’s paradise that prioritizes indoor-outdoor living that allows for hosting party of 100 or more, thanks to a clever furniture scheme and oversized sliding pocket doors to the gracious and well-equipped patio. However, the 13,000 square-foot property still feels comfortable and scaled back enough for savoring a quiet weekend at home, due to cozy, sculptural seating and a serene color palette. Working with Caporaso means there will be plenty of delightful details around every corner, from the plaster barrel ceilings connecting the kitchen to the adjacent gathering spaces to the impeccable millwork in the primary bath that make for an unforgettable residence you won’t be able to find anywhere else.
