This is not your average coastal home.
With a classic mid-century modern home design, embracing the ambiance of this home and accentuating its view of the outdoors is a true testament to doing something special. This design goes against the grain of expectations.
The primary bath got the wheels turning
A project that started as a primary bathroom remodel (bye-bye sunken shower!) soon carried throughout the home. Each decision brought the next nearby material selection or furnishing need into question. From the “Brady Bunch” staircase, to the indoor/outdoor koi pond – and the INCREDIBLE original terrazzo flooring – the challenge of balancing textures and setting a mood that felt proportional, but uniquely dedicated, in each space was a real challenge.
The primary bathroom is loud and proud with a juxtaposition of natural colors and textures with bold lines and shapes. Completed by dedicated laundry, a custom closet (can you count all the wallcovering features in this space?!), and an art-focused shoe and bag display of the client’s dreams. Functionality and form were married with really radical design decisions here in terms of the hardscape, colors and dedicated lighting.
The adjacent master bedroom had to feel as bold and luxe. Of course, it also had to be enough of a statement on its own. With a nod to the natural, a woven, string cloth-type wallcovering on the bedroom walls in clay and gold and gauzy sheers maxed out with the spinal-tap champagne black-out panel counterparts. Every selection here had a counterpoint. The glossy glass lamps and thick evergreen mohair headboard . The posh bronze finish on the custom dresser accentuated with original art framed by silk tassel pendants . There’s just so much to love and fall into with this master suite.
Living areas complete with Koi Pond–indoor and outdoor
Let’s move into the primary living areas of this mid century modern home . Many of the furnishings took shape as the result of assessing how we could work around the amazing view outdoors. This required a deep study of the existing interior architecture. Vaulted ceilings in the sitting area featured incredible two-story glass windows and cozy little TV nook just adjacent. Determining how to best accentuate these features that were so beautiful, while also being so disparate, posed a unique opportunity. Always bold, but still very balanced – the furnishings had to each feel like their own piece of art amongst their original brick and mahogany surroundings. Sculptural and smooth paired with some unique geometric shapes and natural textures – these areas really accentuate a contemporary take on MCM style. With each element having its own place, the visual and textural aesthetics made our client (and our team) swoon!
