Sleek Beach House with Timeless Style and Stunning Modern Luxuries

This modern oceanside retreat is all about soothing, enveloping neutrals and sweeping curves that quite literally carry out to the stunning coast. In the open-plan living room, a curved bank of windows is motorized to let the outdoors in with the flick of a wrist. Did we mention there’s a backlit onyx kitchen island, a sofa on a swing and a curved patio that doubles as a pool, too?

Neutral Open Plan Kitchen With Rounded Barstools

Most of the countertops in this kitchen are fantasy brown granite marble. The stone is durable like granite, with the consistency of marble, but doesn't stain as easily as marble does. The light fixtures seen here were created by a London artist; LED tubes snap into the various rods and clips.
