An escape from the tropical heat, this living room is cool and restful, centered with a bench and matching pair of sofas. Simple wicker chairs and a sea grass carpet add to the relaxed island atmosphere. ©Gibbs Smith, Barry Dixon Interiors, Brian D Coleman. Design: Barry Dixon/Photo: Edward Addeo

Japanese raku pots line the shelf above the open kitchen pass-through. The bar stools were custom designed to be comfortable and backless so as to keep the view unobstructed while being sturdy enough to not tip over easily. The front door is visible to the left of the kitchen. ©Gibbs Smith, Barry Dixon Interiors, Brian D Coleman. Design: Barry Dixon/Photo: Edward Addeo
