Building Momentum
I wasn’t supposed to be on the roof, but I didn’t know any better. (Sort of.) When
the owner of the house I’d rented near downtown Naples was having some work
done last year, my curiosity required a clandestine ascent. So I scaled the ladder
to take a look, much to the horror of the surprised general contractor, who feared
that I’d plummet to certain death on his watch. (I thought he’d gone to lunch.) To
lighten the mood, I joked that I was scouting locations for a new Beyoncé music
video, “All the Shingle Ladies.” He wasn’t amused. But I got an idea.
With construction booming on the Paradise Coast, why not talk to some of
the most powerful women in the industry, the real Shingle Ladies? Meet Gay
Thompson, whose father’s firm built the Hertz Arena in Estero (plus 18 more are-
nas in Florida, including the BB&T Center in Sunrise and the American Airlines
Arena in Miami); Heather Henning, a fourth-generation builder whose compa-
ny is pounding nails all over Naples; and Collier Building Industry Association
board member Cali Clardy. Their stories begin on page 58.
As the world continues to discover what we already know—that Naples is an
enviable blend of boundless generosity, understated sophistication, and natural
beauty—the demand for home-related resources grows. Enter the Naples Design
District, a retail and dining destination that caters to those seeking upscale decor,
art, fashion, and on-trend treasures. To learn more about the district, including
10 merchants not to miss, turn to page 74. Also this month, take a moment to rel-
MEGAN DIPIERO
ish the talent of eight Naples-based interior designers. Whether you’re ponder-
ing a luxurious lanai, a dynamic dining room (purple!), or an ethereal bedroom
for seaside-themed slumber, we have your inspiration, beginning on page 80.
While the latest home and design trends reflect Naples’ cosmopolitan vibe,
there’s still an enduring respect for the vintage aesthetic of yesteryear. Nowhere is this more evi-
dent than at the flamingo pink Gondolier Inn, a downtown charmer recently renovated by new
owners, including Keble Pryce, his wife, Katherine, and her mother, interior designer Kristen Wil-
liams. For more on their terrazzo-floored labor of love, see our Insider Q&A, starting on page 25.
Naples is building in momentum—both literally and otherwise—and amid the excitement,
we invite you to explore this issue in the laid-back way that makes our city so enticing: Toes in
the sand with a gorgeous sunset on the way.

COURTESY OF THE MILES COLLIER COLLECTIONS AT REVS INSTITUTE
The Revs Institute, one of the most visited attractions in Naples, recently
finished eighth in a national poll of 10 Best Attractions for Car Lovers. A panel
of experts partnered with 10Best editors from USA Today to pick the initial 20
nominees, and readers determined the top 10.
Revs presents the Miles Collier Collections of more than 100 significant auto-
mobiles built between 1896 and 1995. These vehicles, some of the rarest in the
world, blazed technical trails and redefined aesthetic standards. Neapolitan car
buffs will want to take several laps around the museum, which is a haven for
scholars, preservationists, and passionate connoisseurs of automotive history.

Pierpaolo Piccioli, creative director at Val-
entino, doesn’t design from an ivory tower.
Instead, he finds inspiration for the house’s
romantic silhouettes on the streets. For his
2019 Fall Winter Collection, Piccioli paired
up with Jun Takahashi from Undercover—
a brand that epitomizes Japanese cool with
its punk rock graphics—effectively bring-
ing the raw poetry of streetwear into the
atelier. Focusing on love, a value Valentino
holds in the highest regard, Takahashi cre-
ated a dark fantasy with collages of kissing
neoclassical sculpture busts and lush roses
wrapped in chains that adorn accessories
and garments in the line. Blooming with
emotion, the simple yet complex prints
speak for themselves: Every rose has its

Old Naples OASIS
This well-appointed home is close
to the action but feels worlds away
By Mary Thurman Yuhas | Photography by Inspiro 8 Studios
A
five-minute walk in either direction from this two-
story home leads to the Gulf of Mexico or Third
Street South. “One of the reasons my clients selected
this home was because of its great location,” says Lisa Ficarra,
president of Ficarra Design Associates in Naples. Within the
property, however, Ficarra notes that they wanted a respite
from Third Street’s lively restaurant and shopping scene,
which led her to embrace a soothing yet high-end aesthetic.
“Collaboration was key in this project,” explains Morgan
Scott, an associate designer with Ficarra Design Associates.
“The clients wanted to bring in characteristics of Naples with
the color palette and textures. They wanted the home to have
an island vibe. We thought of that with each piece.”
A neutral palette, offset by splashes of coral and blue, was
used across all 6,169 square feet. For flooring, the design
team opted for a wide-plank oak wood that varies in shade,
structure, and knots. A light-taupe hue graces the walls, while
coffered ceilings appear throughout the project.
Drama abounds in the airy foyer, where striking glass
pendants are suspended through the center of a floating “U”
staircase. A dark stain on the sapele wood treads and corre-
sponding handrail increases the wow factor.
Because the couple enjoys entertaining, the design team
wanted to provide them with ample seating. Instead of the
typical great room layout, they selected four arm chairs—clad
in a durable, elegant chenille-and-linen blend—to facilitate
conversation. Forged-iron tables lend a charm of their own.
Calacatta porcelain shelving, outfitted with custom lights,
bookends a painting by Evelyn Patricia Terry and highlights
the clients’ exquisite colored-glass collection.

at the rear creates quite the bold focal point. “The wine room adds
an extra area of entertainment,” Ficarra explains. “The clients did not
want the dining room to be too formal. It is romantic and special.”
In the kitchen, the owners can keep their vino selections chilled in
a built-in wine refrigerator. Here, a beige quantize countertop with a
leathered finish perfectly complements the modernity of the jet-cut
marble backsplash. Dark wood pops against the mostly white space,
whereas bronze frames make an industrial-chic statement when
used on the low-back barstools upholstered in a taupe, pebbled-
leather fabric.
Taupe-colored seating also appears in the laid-back family room in
the form of leather recliners. The inviting sofa, covered in a soft linen,

USE NON-VOC PAINT
The why: Most paints contain
volatile organic compounds (or
VOCs), hazardous chemicals
that are released into the air when you paint a wall, leading to
indoor air-quality problems and potentially serious health risks.
5
GET CLEANER CLEANING PRODUCTS
The why: Traditional cleaning supplies can contain
harmful chemicals that, despite making their way to
waste water–treatment plants after going down drains,
can end up in waterways. Over time, this poses a
threat to water quality, fish, and other animals.

When Gay Thompson was a little girl, her father would take her to job sites where she’d
play in the sand. Once he discovered that she knew how to count, however, he put his
daughter to work.
“When I was about 6 or 7, he had me help process invoices by putting them in numerical
order,” says Thompson, whose father, William Thompson, and a partner—along with three
employees and a used concrete mixer—started Cement Industries in 1953. Since then, the
Fort Myers firm has built 19 arenas, including the Hertz Arena in Estero, and the two larg-
est arenas in Florida, the BB&T Center in Sunrise and American Airlines Arena in Miami.
Thompson, however, had planned to join the diplomatic corps, not run the family busi-
ness. After studying French at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she lived
in Geneva, Switzerland, then returned home to Southwest Florida. “My dad said, ‘You’re
the oldest, you’re a college graduate, and you get things done. Every company needs a
[tough boss], and you’re it.’”
One of seven children, Thompson operates the company with two siblings, Senior Vice
President Brown Thompson and Carmi Terrell, a corporate secretary. “I’m fascinated by
what we do because I get to see rocks and pieces of metal become complex buildings,”
she says. “It’s even more amazing when I think about how it all started with a handful of
people and one truck.”
In addition to Naples projects that include Arthrex and Avita, an assisted living facility
that’s under construction, Cement Industries also produces Spancrete hollow-core slabs,
which are used between floors in high-rises and other structures to help reduce noise.
When she’s not serving on trade association boards and working with civic organiza-
tions, Thompson writes fiction longhand—specifically, romance stories set in Great Britain’s
early nineteenth-century Regency era. “I have a college student type them, and then I
share them with family and friends,” she says. “My favorite tool isn’t a trowel or anything
related to cement like people might think. My favorite tool is a pen.” «

Shortly after Agave opened in 2011, a cook from Agua Caliente re-created this paella mixta from his childhood. Containing chicken, shrimp,
and mussels, it differs from the Spanish version in its intense tomato broth and the substitution of mild Argentinian sausage for chorizo. Saffron,
garlic, and a battery of spices are reduced along with red rice to form the flavorful broth. Each dish is cooked to order, and the ingredients must

high expectations of paella, and every cook has a different style. You can meet those expectations as long as it’s delicious.” (agavenaples.com)

FOR YOU
Pumpkin shines on National
Pumpkin Day, October 26, and, of
course, Halloween. This nutrient-
rich fall staple packs high amounts
of antioxidants, beta-carotene,
potassium, and vitamins A, C,
and E. Add it to baked goods,
desserts, soups, salads, and more to protect eye health, regulate blood pres-
sure, and reduce your risk of cancer, diabetes, and stroke. Because it’s rich in
fiber and low in calories (about 49 in a cup), eating pumpkin may aid in weight
loss by augmenting satiated feelings. Celebrate the good gourd with a loaf
of pumpkin spice bread from Epiphany Gluten Free Bakery in Naples. Or
pick up a package of Paleo Fit Pancake Mix and follow Ephipany’s recipe for a
pumpkin-infused breakfast classic. (epiphanyglutenfree.com)
Whisk eggs, oil, molasses, pumpkin puree, and extract until combined. Add
Paleo mix and spices, and whisk until there are no lumps. Cook waffles or
pancakes as normally preferred.
