The penthouse unit’s previously dark and outdated interior was revitalized to embrace natural light, enhancing the expansive and open feel of the space. Now, each room enjoys unobstructed views of the emerald waters. Despite some areas having relatively low ceiling heights, strategic soffits were used to elevate the ceilings wherever possible, preserving the open ambiance. Subtle cove lighting and painted wood ceiling textures delicately define each area.
The owner wanted the condo to mirror the luxury and comfort of their nearby residence, with added convenience for beach and water access. A custom entry door with sidelights creates a grand and inviting entrance, allowing light to flood the unit while maintaining privacy. The stained wood flooring adds warmth to a color palette dominated by blues and whites, reflecting the nearby white sands and vibrant waters. Wainscoting and trim throughout the entry lobby and unit enhance the contemporary, nautical theme. Various materials, including plush furnishings, a limestone fireplace mantel, and veined quartz countertops, introduce a range of textures and sophistication.
A key element for the owner was ample wall space for displaying unique and local artwork. Accent lighting was meticulously installed to highlight these pieces, ensuring they stand out as focal points. Every detail in the unit was thoughtfully designed to emphasize the surrounding natural beauty and create a glamorous, intimate retreat for relaxation and escape.
