Sitting on over five acres, Marigold is a stunning modern equestrian estate located in Wellington, Florida. Designed by architect Annie Carruthers, the clean lines and flat roofs were inspired by midcentury modern design. The process began with the dual ambition of shaping bold, contemporary design and ensuring rigorous functional performance. The property includes a primary residence and barn complex, including a caretaker’s apartment and grooms’ quarters, indoor and outdoor rings, stables, and paddocks. The primary residence is replete with a stunning pool and an outdoor entertaining space.

The team collaborated closely with the owner to create a modern equestrian property with a focus on openness, natural light, and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The interior design by Lisa Lalaounis of The Decorators Unlimited features a tropical modern palette with a chic minimalist look. The home, caretaker’s apartment, and grooms’ quarters were designed with luxurious natural stone, shiny metals, and soft leathers in a neutral tonal range. Durable textiles and sleek yet comfortable furnishings were used throughout to create a stylish home that is functional for the equestrian lifestyle. Equestrian-inspired artwork is a focus in the interiors of the property, with pieces including black and white photography and framed Hermes scarves. Overall, the design is tailored to the needs of both horses and the owner, creating a breathtaking modern equestrian estate.
