100 TAMPA BAY MAGAZINE | SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2020
Over the course of twenty-five years, Decker Ross
Interiors has created some spectacular interiors in
various JMC developments. But the opportunity
to actively participate in the reinvention of the
historic Belleview Biltmore property in Belleair, specifically
the residences at Belleview Place, was a particular honor.
Senior designer Marci Tempesta took the lead on the project,
starting with her award-winning design in the Carriage Home
Model A. She was subsequently asked to design the lobbies
and models in the mid-rise buildings, beginning with the
Alamanda, which offers spectacularly expansive views of the
Belleair Country Club Golf Course, the Intracoastal Waterway
and the iconic Belleview Inn and pool.

The grand salon’s expansive wall of windows is
softened by geometric drapery panels, adding a
decorative touch without impeding the natural
light or lovely view beyond. Natural elements
and textures are emphasized throughout the
design, evidenced by the use of live edge
wood sisal, stone, glass, metal and a variety
of upholstery fabrics, lighting and accessory
selections.
