Pei designing among others, the New York studio of Adolph Gottlieb. 3721 Flamingo Ave was Mr. Baldwin's winter home. Mr. Baldwin sought to integrate form, scale, space and light into natural settings of tranquil gardens and waterways. The home has 14 glass sliders, each with views of bamboo, exotic palms, buttonwood and oak trees, as well as stunning waterfront views of the Lagoon.
