The Pearl is a Contemporary styled Florida Tropical home. The Pearl was designed and built by Josh Wynne Construction. The design was a reflection of the unusually shaped lot which is quite pie shaped. This green home is expected to achieve the LEED Platinum rating and is certified Energy Star, FGBC Platinum and FPL BuildSmart. Photos by Ryan Gamma

For this house renovation in Sussex the owners wanted to create a simple timeless and elegant interior. With a palette of muted tones and the utilisation of a small number of key furniture pieces the interior is luxurious yet understated. The use of wider herringbone brings an up-to-date version of a classic floor. Prime oak engineered herringbone block in larger format was used throughout the open living space. The blocks were installed and finished in situ.

Who needs paint when you can tile the walls?

Il soggiorno è illuminato da un'ampia portafinestra e si caratterizza per la presenza delle morbide sedute dei divani di fattura artigianale e per l'accostamento interessante dei colori, come il senape delle sedute e dei tessuti, vibrante e luminoso, e il verde petrolio della parete decorata con boiserie, ricco e profondo. Il controsoffitto con velette illuminate sottolinea e descrive lo spazio del soggiorno. Durante la sera, la luce soffusa delle velette può contribuire a creare un'atmosfera rilassante e intima, perfetta per trascorrere momenti piacevoli con gli ospiti o per rilassarsi in serata.

“With the open-concept floor plan, this kitchen needed to have a galley layout,” Ellison says. A large island helps delineate the kitchen from the other rooms around it. These include a dining area directly behind the kitchen and a living room to the right of the dining room. This main floor also includes a small TV lounge, a powder room and a mudroom. The house sits on a slope, so this main level enjoys treehouse-like canopy views out the back. The bedrooms are on the walk-out lower level.“These homeowners liked grays and neutrals, and their style leaned contemporary,” Ellison says. “They also had a very nice art collection.” The artwork is bright and colorful, and a neutral scheme provided the perfect backdrop for it. They also liked the idea of using durable laminate finishes on the cabinetry. The laminates have the look of white oak with vertical graining. The galley cabinets are lighter and warmer, while the island has the look of white oak with a gray wash for contrast. The countertops and backsplash are polished quartzite. The quartzite adds beautiful natural veining patterns and warm tones to the room.

Wood wrapped posts and beams, tong-and-groove wood stained soffit and stamped concrete complete the new patio.

This rock pathway connects the front yard via a side yard pathway to the backyard creating a beautiful aesthetic flow that compliments the homes beauty and curb appeal.

This coastal home is located in Carlsbad, California! With some remodeling and vision this home was transformed into a peaceful retreat. The remodel features an open concept floor plan with the living room flowing into the dining room and kitchen. The kitchen is made gorgeous by its custom cabinetry with a flush mount ceiling vent. The dining room and living room are kept open and bright with a soft home furnishing for a modern beach home. The beams on ceiling in the family room and living room are an eye-catcher in a room that leads to a patio with canyon views and a stunning outdoor space!
