THREE STORY HOME ON HIBISCUS ISLAND HONORS VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE WITH SURPRISING MODERN INTERIOR FINISHES

A cozy space was transformed into an exercise room and enhanced for this purpose as follows: Fluorescent light fixtures recessed into the ceiling provide cool lighting without reducing headroom; windows on three walls balance the natural light and allow for cross ventilation; a mirrored wall widens the appearance of the space and the wood paneled end wall warms the space with the same richness found in the rest of the house.

A spa like retreat is offered with wall mounted TV, expansive views, footed tub, and quartz countertops.

A harmonious colour palette of blacks, beiges and golds allows works of art to be brought into dramatic relief.
