Relaxed and stylish, the perfect combination to a beach vibe home.  I wanted to achieve a nautical feel without the typical notes and accessories of the go-to beach look.

I hand crafted this pendant which is the focal point of this living space. I found these beautiful metal wall hangings centered off with Capiz shells and bunched them together to create this unusual form. The sea amoeba inspired shapes play off the beach aesthetic without being too literal. An art form with a functional light source is a great way to anchor the design.

A wide look at the space showcases how I merged three key styles. Beach, Colonial, and modern.  Space planning was another important element to address. Their original setup was filled with bulky furniture matched with a floor plan that did not utilize the space. With the new floor plan we maximized the space  with ample seating, leg room, and surface area for entertaining. 

Unique choices for art always elevate the design and feel as a whole. These architectural pulpits spoke to the client but also have a strong element to design.

Architecture, wired objets, statues and forms.

Bombe chest for the fundamental storage.

The drift wood sculpture speaks to the theme of the ocean.

The tufted ottoman really grounds this design, tying in the modern and colonial aesthetic.

Modular sofas were brought in to modernize and balance the classic and colonial notes.
