Joel Jankowsky retired in 2019 as a partner with Akin Gump, where he was a public-policy specialist in the law firm’s Washington, D.C., office.
The Jankowskys spent a year-and-a-half on their Palm Beach renovation, an award-winning project designed by Palm Beach interior decorator Leta Austin Foster. Others involved included landscape architect Alan Stopek of Efflorescence and architect Kevin Asbacher.
The renovation included remodeling the kitchen and re-purposing the original formal dining room to serve as a family room with a more casual dining area. Those spaces open to a loggia facing the pool and gardens.
Foster worked closely with Carol Jankowsky on the renovation, which was inspired by the work of the late New York City decorator Billy Baldwin. Foster’s design retained the interior’s formality but included furnishings with a more casual and comfortable feeling the style that made Baldwin famous.

It has been my honour to serve the residents of Colney Heath and Marshalswick as their county councillor for the last four years. This is the neighbourhood I have lived in for over 20 years and have served as a Sandridge parish councillor for 14 years.
The role of a councillor should be to work with residents to improve their neighbourhood for everybody. I am particularly concerned about the environment and protecting the green spaces that have proved so valuable during the last year.
