If it were not overlooking a coconut-palm-fringed canal, a lavish if modestly scaled pleasure palace—designed by Todd Black for model, actress and writer Veronica Webb and her family in Key West, Florida—would surely be taken at first glance for a royal pavilion in Marrakech or Taroudannt in Morocco. The home is tucked away in a tropical paradise of a garden that includes mangoes, papayas, pineapples, yellow frangipanis, a diverse collection of palms and 45 varieties of orchids colorfully perched on the 100-year-old trees that populate their recently transfigured surroundings.

A team of Moroccan craftsmen and apprentices wrapped brightly colored Moroccan tiles around the columns that dip into the pool. Photo by: Ken Hayden
