“This summer home delivered a space for rest and respite, memories under the summer sun, and many a sunrise out in the morning surf.”

Becca Interiors has skilfully updated, refreshed and rationalised this house in the heart of Southampton village creating a city dweller’s surf retreat. A mix of new and vintage, bespoke and found, casual and stylish.

Electric Bowery had the pleasure of partnering with clients who share deep roots in the arts, and were looking to establish their own refuge. The goal was to find the perfect balance of open area and urban energy. The site ultimately selected was an oversized Venice lot providing flexibility to build a home with a unique program of accessory spaces for art, yoga, and meditation – without sacrificing outdoor living areas. Upon entry through the front gates, the property is perceived as a courtyard sanctuary with meandering gardens laced together by limestone and vein-cut travertine. The organic hardscape provides a clean canvas for lush landscape design by LA-based Terremoto who has a penchant for softening the built environment. Playing off the verdant landscape are interior plaster finishes in warm whites, subtle blush, and bolder turquoise which add a layer of vibrancy and sustain the feeling of a thriving oasis. Custom steel windows frame each view with thoughtful intention. Handcrafted millwork in indigo-ebony and bleached oak, all designed in-house, are paired with an unexpected yet classic choice of finishes and fixtures. Several light sources by Apparatus Studio double as sculptural highlights. The result is an incredibly relaxed and soothing home, with an organic and sophisticated edge. (Photos: Laure Joliet)

A wonderful example of contemporary family living in a classic cottage. Layers of unsympathetic renovations were removed, floor plans fineesed and the results are warm, inviting and tonal. Wee Burn by Greenwich, Connecticut based Becca Interiors.

A striking combination of stone and timber, brick and polished concrete in a house with an easy flow between inside and out. It’s all about contemporary family living at the beach with plenty of space for entertaining friends. It’s about contrasts but also unity, void and solid, black and white. Tawarri by Gold Coast, Queensland based Reece Keil Design.

WHOA what a house! This is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Designed by cityhomeCOLLECTIVE. The task at hand was least to say AMBITIOUS and it included a total transformation of a generic, builder-grade development property to an exquisite all-custom home that radiates with old world Flemish charm. Clustered around an emerald green pool, paved with amalgam of reclaimed stones brought from Europe and encircled within lush gardens (that feel as if they were there for decades), this home is an oasis of privacy that celebrates the marvelous connection between the indoors and the nature that surrounds it. Even though the design of the home took as much time as the design of the outdoor spaces and surrounding landscape, it was impossible to touch one without the other. In order to seamlessly blend indoors and outdoors, drastic changes were made to the existing layouts and we relied on the use of custom Riviera Bronze metal doors & windows to add expansiveness and light to the space. Bespoke, custom designed furniture and lighting fixtures, coupled with carefully curated materials that celebrate materiality as much as the hand of the artist have been used throughout the interiors in order to create a layered, texture abundant, inviting ambiance.
