Waterside Home Combines Modern Architecture and Organic Flexibility

This modern waterside resort home is meticulously designed to create seamless transitions throughout the home and from the outside in. Not just a pretty face, the grounds of the home were conceived for enjoyment. The designer explains: "Though the verticals and horizontals of contemporary architecture could feel static, the use of plants, vines, water and light brings an organic flexibility of design. Outdoor umbrellas and chaise lounges seem to beckon from the deck of what is, in truth, an expansive and personal spa."

White Accents Brighten Walnut Office

Colorful wall art joins the home's natural elements in one of two offices. The designer opted to lighten the look of the owner-specified walnut paneling with white floating shelves: "In the wife’s office, the simple introduction of white shelving, Holly Hunt’s deep-seated white armchair, Zhuang Hong-yi’s art from Smith Davidson Gallery and softly muted area rug add brightness."

The primary bathroom is resplendent in white with gold accents.

Waterworks’ simple vessel tub and a sparkling golden accent table only divert the eyes for a moment, before the wall and its organic origins call us back."

Stone, Wood and Water on Display in Modern Waterside Home

This gorgeous waterside home's modern exterior mixes warm wood tones with cool stone neutrals, suggesting the design elements to come inside.
