THEIR DESIGNERS Medford interior architect Klaus Fuchs; decorators Claude Guidi of Palm Beach and Jeanne Murray of Boston.

THEIR FAVORITE DETAILS “We have a 19th-century armoire with beveled glass and fluted columns,” says Doug. “I also collect hand-chiseled silver pieces from Milan. Together, it just works.”

THEIR DESIGNER Haya. “I have a knack for it,” she shrugs.

THEIR FAVORITE DETAIL “I love my sofa. It’s Italian and has beautiful stitching; it’s heavy and very comfy.”

WHY TRINITY? “We have the most incredible concierge service,” Haya gushes. “It’s like living in a boutique hotel. You feel like a queen!”
